So Now What?

I'm very confident that my political leaning is both right (no pun intended and no indication given by that word) and godly. I can defend it. passionately. I can argue for it with scripture. I have friends, good Christian people who feel equally passionately about the opposite side. So now what? So now what? We who …

Filled with the Fullness

I have this feeling that I am missing something. It's hovering there on the edge of my understanding. I can glimpse it out of the corner of my eye but when I turn my head to look fully at it - it slips away. It's not a new thing, it's a thing I started brushing …

Harmony

I don't have a lot to say today. Just one thought that filled my walk first thing, hung around during my quiet time, stayed as I prayed and popped up again as I drove to work. If I don't love then everything I do is pointless. 'Duh Jules', you might say. Indeed, basic stuff but …

Free From the Prison of Regret

I've been thinking about regret. We all have them. Sinatra said he had a few regrets but too few to mention. In the context of his song, he could hardly say anything else. I think the majority of us have a lot of regrets even when we don't talk about them. In Mark's gospel, I read …

What’s the Matter With You?

Please read the title with a tone of incredulity and shock, not as a genuine question of concern. That's the way it sounds to me in this verse from Genesis 26. Abimelech:10 What’s the matter with you? What have you done to us? One of my people might easily have slept with your wife. Then you would have …

Choices

I understand why we divide the Bible into chapter and verse. It makes it easier to find verses and to reference them to others. But sometimes, for me at least, it makes the reading of the passages a little too broken up. That's especially true when it comes to daily readings that end halfway through …

That We May Be One

21 Father, may they all be one as You are in Me and I am in You; may they be in Us, for by this unity the world will believe that You sent Me. John 17:21 I don't write political blogs, that's not what this is for. That said (no I am not going to write …

How to Dress Part 2

It's been a while since I wrote here, somehow I got distracted and am now buckling down to remind myself that this is not a chore but a privilege that I love. I say 'somehow' but I do know what happened - life happened with the usual curveballs it can throw. However, I had made …

Best Investment Advice

Investments are always big news. Will my pension mature so I can continue my standard of living? Is that stock going to dip and lose me millions (hah!)? What would be a wise place to put this money so I get a good return? Canadian interest rates might be taking a hike making those who …

Because She has Loved Me

I am constantly amazed by two things. The first is just how much God loves me. I am currently meditating on the Lord's prayer (Matthew 6:9-13). I haven't got very far yet, yesterday and today were spent in the first verse. Our Father Have you ever stopped and thought about that phrase and what it means? …
