The Power of our Perspective

Often times the only thing that needs to change is our perspective, and everything changes. The power that our perspective has on our earthly experience is staggering. Repeatedly throughout the Scriptures, subsequent to the fall of man, people continued to tutor one another in the “way that seems right to a man, but in the end always produces death” (Prov. 14:12) and as a result, worldly wisdom robbed humanity of the harmonious fellowship with the truth that we were originally → Read more

The Mystery Solved

“Christ in you, the hope of glory.”  Colossians 1:27b  NASB Seven words that can change our lives forever… How could we have overlooked the significance of these words for so long? For all of recorded history, there is evidence that man has entertained the possibility of someone or something beyond ourselves that we “need” to “know”.  Right?  Haven’t we also wanted to taste glory-  to connect, to be heard, to be noticed, to matter, to make a difference, to be → Read more

If People Know it is Coming

The Half Door Drama So, what’s so dramatic about a half door? Nothing by itself. It’s just a door—or so we thought. The installation of a half door to my office seemed like an innocent enough decision. I was in charge of the office of a growing church and was the pastor’s secretary. There was a glass wall on one side that made me visible to anyone walking in the hall. That wasn’t a problem. The problem was the ability → Read more

Letting Go in 2015

My husband, Tom and I recently went through old letters.  So much has changed.  Here are some highlights from letters dating back to when I was 7 years old - things friends wrote to me: Then Before the days of being concerned about blood diseases:   "I'm going to bring a needle to camp - let's become blood sisters!"
