“How are you different?” is the second question a friend asked me when we had lunch and I told him I had become a Christian. (I wrote about the first question he asked – What does it mean to become a Christian? – last week). This second question is much more difficult to answer andContinue reading “You’re a Christian…How Are You Different?”

Life this Week
Last week of May, 2013. My daughter turns 13 years old next month and lately I’ve been going through old pictures and memories, wondering how that could possibly be. Mostly I am amazed by the passage of time and all that has happened in 13 years both in her and in me. We are inContinue reading “Life this Week”
What Does It Mean to “Become a Christian?”
Not long after I committed my life to Christ in 2008, I had lunch with a friend I had known for several years. When he asked me what was new and I told him I had become a Christian, he asked three questions: What does it mean to “become a Christian?” So, how are youContinue reading “What Does It Mean to “Become a Christian?””
Life This Week
I have a friend named Becky. She is one of the most devoted followers of Jesus I know and she is always praising God with her mouth and with her life. When my daughter was little, she called Becky, “the woman who says Hallelujah.” I want to be the woman who says Hallelujah. This week,Continue reading “Life This Week”
Six Acts of Revolutionary Living
I keep this piece of paper taped to my computer at work and on my wall at home. It’s small. Only I can see it. But I really need it. I need to read it on the days when I have a deadline, or run from meeting to meeting. I need it on days thatContinue reading “Six Acts of Revolutionary Living”
Life This Week
For some reason, last night I was thinking about how God could have created us all to be adults right away, and skipped over the whole growing up thing. I must have been feeling philosophical because then I thought about why he created us to be small and then grow big; to start with noContinue reading “Life This Week”
The Day after Amazing
Yesterday, I experienced the presence of God maybe like never before both in my own soul and in the world. Have you had a day like that? Almost too amazing to bear. Every moment feels full and alive, bursting beyond what it was meant to hold. My body was exhausted when I got home butContinue reading “The Day after Amazing”
Life This Week
This week feels heavy to me and even in the early morning hours, I am looking forward to the end of it. It would be easy to put my head down and view this week as a series of tasks to mark off my list. I want to do life a different way, though. IContinue reading “Life This Week”
Are You Embarrassed by Jesus?
Have you ever noticed how much harder it is to share your faith in Jesus with people you know – like people at work, your friends, and your family? So much so that maybe you don’t do it much anymore. Is it the embarrassment that creeps into your heart? You know what I mean, don’tContinue reading “Are You Embarrassed by Jesus?”
Life This Week
This weekend was so rich with life, the days could hardly contain it. Did you notice how the grass is greener and longer and the trees are showing signs of life? I had dinner Saturday with my daughter and three of my spiritual mentors, each of whom has been Jesus to me and has walkedContinue reading “Life This Week”
