Creating Sabbath Rest

Junkyards across the country. Attics littered with forgotten treasures. Storage sheds filled with things once worshiped. Humanity continues to create new things to replace the old; new and innovative things today that add to the trash heap of tomorrow; new things that can become new idols to worship. This has been a part of human […]

You are eternal, vast and ever present. Yet you are close to me, steadfast, my eternal hope.

Morning Praise — Valued in the Universe

When I look at the stars at night, I cannot comprehend the vastness of the universe you created dear God. I feel so insignificant gazing at the heavens. I feel like a lone grain of sand on an infinite beach of stars. Yet I praise you dear God that you don’t see us as insignificant […]

Morning Praise — God’s Artistry

In the most intricate details of nature, I see the hand of our creator God. I see the rhythm of your order in the rising and setting of the sun and the phases of the moon at night. I see the creek water gently flowing, gently nudged by your hand. I see the minute detail […]
