More Logos Musings: Mercy

everfaith

In a roundabout, had-to-be-Spirit-led way, God has me pondering words again. This time he caught my surprise when I read Psalm 4:1. Just eight small verses, yet somehow they are capturing my interest this week: 1 Answer me when I call to you, O God who declares me innocent. Free me from my troubles. Have mercy on me and hear my prayer. 8 In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O Lord, will keep me safe. I began thinking about what it means for God to have mercy on us. What is mercy, really? The Miriam-Webster … Continue reading More Logos Musings: Mercy

Light in the Darkness

everfaith

Driving around the neighborhoods and cruising through the Target aisles, it is obvious that many people and customers are excited about the darker side of Halloween. Gruesome fake body parts (I will spare the details here), gravestones, nooses, and the like are scattered around yards and stacked in aisles alongside the more innocuous spider webs and ghosts. There is something deceptive that attracts us to darkness. Why does the news media report on the Jeffrey Dalmers of the world? Why are some people so attracted to horror movies, books and tv shows? Watching such things makes our hearts race — … Continue reading Light in the Darkness

The Logos in Me

everfaith

I’ve been thinking a lot today about words. From my previous posts, it’s probably apparent that I could be the star of the new PBS kids show entitled “Word Girl.” One of my favorite college courses was “The History of the English Language,” if that tells you anything! I’ve been reading Randy Alcorn’s book, Safely Home, which is a fictional account of a businessman who gets up close and personal with Chinese persecution of Christians. I became intrigued when one of the main characters explains a theory that the Chinese written language has its origin in the Biblical account of … Continue reading The Logos in Me

Texas Fall

everfaith

Growing up, my dad used to tell me that if I didn’t like the weather here in Texas, just wait a minute. It’ll change. Yup. Dad was right about that and about lots of other stuff too. Case in point: yesterday it was a balmy 86 degrees and humid. I sat outside until the sweat trickled down my back and the mosquitoes found me. Today it’s a balmy 56 degrees, wet, and clammy. The front that blew in overnight did more than almost blow our patio chairs into the pool (Thanks, Lord, that I didn’t have to go deep sea … Continue reading Texas Fall

The Landscape of My Heart

everfaith

It’s been a tough couple of days. I have never been more thankful than I am today that the Lord is with me. If you could see the landscape of my heart WITHOUT the Lord, you’d see a surface similar to the moon – colorless, dusty, thirsty, barren. You’d see a waterfall sans water, a rainbow without color, a flower without petals, a butterfly without wings. I want to share with you how the God of all comfort is providing comfort to me while Jon, Cadi and my mother-in-law are traipsing around London. FamilyYesterday I was invited to attend my … Continue reading The Landscape of My Heart
