Do you ever feel like you are in ‘the waiting room’ in life? Misty’s song “I’m here in the waiting room// waiting on unanswered prayer” has been going through my mind a lot lately.
It sort of gives that picture, of the times you just have to sit and wait… and wait… and wait. Waiting on [...]

Happy Birthday IHOP!
I totally forgot to say!
Yesterday was IHOP’s 9 year anniversary. May 7th, 1999 we began prayer for 12 hours a day, then on Sept. 19th, 1999 we went 24-7.
It was a good day. Nothing crazy happened in the prayer room, but we pressed in for healing again, we finished a 3 day fast, and it [...]

He is the Potter
A few days ago I was reading a book by a well-known Christian lady. She is one of the ‘mothers’ of our faith, a woman who stood as strong for Christ 50 years ago as she is doing today. I was struck, in a very timely way, about a certain aspect of her faith.
In our [...]

Radical Trust
The phrase “trust in God” has become almost cliche in Christian circles. One of those ‘christian-ese’ terms that we so frequently are accused of. The reality of trusting God however, goes far beyond what we in our comfort-laden society conceive of.
Psalm 91:2 – 3 says “I will say of the Lord… in Him I will [...]

Thoughts from the chronicles…
Do you have a favorite Narnia book? I think the standard fav is the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe – or to Narnia fans – LWW. However, for many years, my favorite of the series has been The Horse and His Boy.
It could be because the central character – Shasta’s encounter with Aslan – [...]

God’s mercies are new every morning
Most mornings, my preferred Bible reading is the psalms. They make my heart come alive, and I love the ‘waking up’ feeling in my spirit, as I digest these beautiful portions of scripture. Today I read Psalm 106, which is primarily about Israel going astray and God’s relentless pursuit of her. I think it must [...]

Celebrating Advent
If you have not heard yet, and the odds are remarkably in your favor that you have, I am teaching advent to the 3 & 4 yr olds. One of my endearing traits is that when I am excited about something, most people know. lol.
Well, to give the details. If you have not heard of advent, [...]

Equality congruency servanthood
I have been perusing the Word of Life a volume of systematic theology for the last few hours. In the midst of this marvelous study (what can be more moving that studying Jesus!) I have encountered an mind-twisting reality. Jesus is both equal to God, in being the Son of God, and Jesus is less [...]

Where? What? Huh?
If you are confused… I have not dropped off the face of the planet, I did not move, nor did I turn into a little green person. (You would be suprised what people will think) . I am alive and well, if a tad bit over-busy. Suffice it to say, that I have to [...]

Reflection(s) on the Holy Spirit
God has been teaching me a lesson that I have been slowly learning. Often I, like so many others, am very quick to evaluate and conclude what struggle/joy/problem my feelings and life are evidencing. It tends to go a certain way, I struggle with overwhelming feelings, either positive or negative, regarding a noun (person, place or [...]
