I have a variety of pics on my desk, one rotates often as I come across memories I want to see more often than in a photo album (or phone). For the past month it has been of my dad and I, taken in 1991. We were visiting my brother in Amsterdam and it wasContinue reading “Memory Pieces”

Pieces of Grace
What is the grace of God? How do we receive it? What does it feel like? For me, it is forgiveness, guidance and assurance all rolled together. How it feels, differs with people, but I’d like to think it’s like getting an unexpected gigantic hug from a good friend. To be suspended by the graceContinue reading “Pieces of Grace”
Pieces of Truth
When we were little kids, we often had to “fess up” for something we said or did that wasn’t right or nice. Our parents usually instigated the apology or retribution. Our Heavenly Father does this with His grown up kids too. He pushes on our conscience until we know what has to be done. WeContinue reading “Pieces of Truth”
Comparing Sin
I believe, as human beings, it’s easier for us to compare sin than deal with our own. You may think the sin of another is far worse than yours; after all, you didn’t have to do jail time or go through an ugly divorce. All you did was A, B or C. In my ownContinue reading “Comparing Sin”
Forgiveness
Much is written and talked about regarding “forgiveness.” It’s a difficult concept for the human being to comprehend, all situations that need forgiveness are difficult. It’s AS hard to forgive, as it is to be forgiven. My Christian walk had been littered with plenty of unforgiveness, until through bible study and my own personal devotion,Continue reading “Forgiveness”

Our King, born into humble circumstances, who would walk this earth as a man, human in every sense, to bring light to a dark world.Kings brought their finest gifts, sheep and cows stood near their shepherds, a heavenly host sang Hallelujah, theContinue reading “Pieces of Christmas”

No good thing will he withhold from those who walk along his paths. 1 Corinthians 1:7 Now you haveContinue reading “Pieces of Grace”
Pieces of Reconciliation
As a writer, I am enthralled by words; what they mean, the purpose they serve, how to use them correctly. Oftentimes I come across a word that seems important; but I am not familiar with it. Reconciliation is that word for me right now. We die to our old selves, becoming new in Christ. ThereContinue reading “Pieces of Reconciliation”
Pieces of Forgiveness
I have struggled personally with the act of forgiveness. Some resentment harbored over 30 years of my life. Imagine. Withholding forgiveness to another human being when Jesus forgives ME every day, sometimes many times a day. I am not without sin. How did it ever become my place to judge the actions of another? ItContinue reading “Pieces of Forgiveness”
