A Squawking World

“One of the deepest longings of the human soul is to be seen,” and the squawking magpies remind me to not only see the souls’ longings, but also hear them. I am called to be an imitator of God as I listen: “Before they call I will answer, while they are yet speaking I will hear” (Isaiah 65:24).

God’s Grace

Remember God’s grace is His loving-kindness and mercy given to a person without him or her deserving it. His grace is more than this though. 1 Corinthians 1:4-8 is where Paul unpacked it for the Corinthian believers.

Hungering and Thirsting

For what are you hungering and thirsting? The way we clutch our possessions and our pennies, you’d think we couldn’t live without them.

Thirst and Living Water

During the drought of 2011 I kept checking on the creek. I dreaded the day I would reach the bridge, peer over and find the flow of water had stopped, but it kept flowing all year.
