2:174 – Encounters With Christ #faithbites #faithjourney encounters I know this is a shocker, but I like to question and learn as much as I can about as much as I can. From faith to food to life to science to everything, I want to learn. Some may say my learning about faith is questioning it and going against teachings. […]
2:116 – Together We Can Defeat Evil #faithbites #faithjourney Defeat For family movie night, we watched the Kid Who Would Be King. It is a modernized version of The Sword In The Stone about who would follow King Arthur. Without going into details, the movie stressed how King Arthur brought together warring clans to his roundtable and they were able […]
2:39 – We Can Overcome Trauma #faithbites #faithjourney trauma A smell, a sound, a phrase, or even a subject can bring long forgotten or seldom talked about traumatic events to the surface. Things that happened decades ago are as real as it was then. People may say get over it. You may have thought you were over it, but it’s […]
2:15 – I Made Myself Angry #faithbites #faithjourney Angry This #faithbite is going to the pot calling the kettle black or an example where I should practice what I preach, but here goes nothing. The past couple of days I have been angry. I receive bad news from someone and I get mad. Someone doesn’t do something that I thought […]
364 – I resolve to…. Be There for Someone #faithbites #faithjourney someone Before church this morning, I walked into the washroom to take care of business before service began. Two older gentlemen were in the bathroom and one said to the other so and so wouldn’t have made it this far if it wasn’t for you. They continued talking about […]
356 – Memorization or Internalization #faithbites #faithjourney internalization One of the weekly assignments my eldest has is to memorize scripture. She studies it, recites it, and gets a sticker for it. I’ve asked her if she remembers it a week or two later and she doesn’t. She may have the concept on some but not the word. No internalization of […]
348 – Four Days of Silence or 400 Years? #faithbites #faithjourney Silence I have missed four days of work this week due to the prep, procedure, and after effects of the colonoscopy. This has been the worst one and I never expected to be out this long. It has almost been radio silence from work during these days. I know […]
320 – Isn’t It Ironic, Don’t You Think? Or is it a Coincidence? #faithbites #faithjourney ironic I was listening to the 90s radio station this morning and Alanis Morrisette’s “Ironic” came on. I loved that song back then, but even more than the song was the debates and drama about the title. Should the song title be Ironic or Coincidental? The […]
237 – Blood Boiling Anger #faithbites #faithjourney boiling There are those days when you get mad then you get over it. Then there are days when it takes you a bit longer to get over the anger. But once in a while, you have a day when your blood feels like it is boiling. Your anger is seeping through ever […]
215 – You Really Matter #faithbites #faithjourney matter Today was a mixed bag of a day for me. My knee was driving me crazy, I ticked off someone by trying to help, and another person gave me feedback on someone else questioning what I was doing. That on top if not sleeping well, getting ready for vacation, and having a […]
