I started doing a Bible Study Devotional in the mornings called, “Seeking Him,” by Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth and Tim Grissom.  It has been a very good yet simple Devotional that reminds us the ways we need to seek Jesus.  The second week was about humility and how important it is for our relationship with Christ. Continue reading “Pride is being Self-Protective of their Time, Rights, and their Reputation:”

I have started going through the book of Galatians with my Discipler Stacey.  I love the epistles.  I love getting to hear what is going on in the beginning of the churches and the Christian ministry.  I also believe these books provide great wisdom for any Christian to follow.  Something I didn’t know was theContinue reading “It’s Not Necessary to Add to the Gospel:”

I was recently watching the movie, “The Radium Girls.”  I had never seen the movie before, but I had seen a musical play version my students performed while I was a teacher.  After watching the movie, I watched some clips about the real history of the Radium Girls.  This is not the happiest story inContinue reading “Some Things that Glow actually are Toxic:”

I recently started reading a book called, “Women Who Risk,” by Tom and Joann Doyle.  This book is all about women who are Christians serving God in Muslim countries.  The first chapter was about a woman who overcame her demons and demon attacks, when she became a Christian serving the Lord.  Her mother did notContinue reading “Prayer for those who are Lost:”

Recently, I have been doing some research on famous Christian women in history.  One of the biggest women who inspires me is Hannah More.  Hannah More inspires me for a few reasons, and I believe she and I have very similar interests for being years and generations apart. Hannah cared a lot about education, writingContinue reading “Writing and Education has Power:”

Currently at my career at the Job Foundation, there was an opportunity for me to also volunteer and become a mentor to a sixth grade girl.  The Job Foundation in Cedar Falls has a certified mentoring program, so many volunteers are paired with the kids in our programs.   I am so excited I haveContinue reading “Mentoring Creates Great Joy:”

In these last few years, there has been more reflection on habits and their importance in our daily lives.  Scientists have done research on how habits become easier and easier in our lives the more we practice them.  Even something you didn’t originally like doing, can become easier after a long time of practice.  RoutinesContinue reading “Habits Bringing Us Closer to God:”

Through my study of the Fruit of the Spirit, I have been doing a lot of reading of Peter, the disciple.  This will go through Peter’s life when he was a disciple and the times he had with Jesus. I will be honest when I say Peter has never been my favorite character from theContinue reading “From Passion to a Rock:”

One book series I highly recommend is “Beartown,” by Frederick Backman.  I love Frederick Backman’s books.  I have read all of them.  Beartown is a series between two towns that hate each other, and equally love hockey.  Think about a local town/school rivalry on steroids. Even though this book is maybe an extreme example ofContinue reading “Love too Much, Hate too Easily, and Forgives too Little:”

I was in church today, and the pastor gave a really good sermon.  The sermon was surprisingly all about the first chapter of Matthew which is the genealogy of Jesus.  It is definitely not my favorite section of the Bible.  I know it has importance because it was included in the Bible, but I canContinue reading “The Past of your Family doesn’t Create your Future:”
