This song has been playing in my head so much lately. It is pretty much what I feel when I think of God. What Do I Know of Holy by Addison Road I made You promises a thousand times I tried to hear from Heaven But I talked the whole time I think I made…
My mornings are running short, again. Here’s my response to a post by Skip Moen. Can you sense my frustration? I want to be obedient, and I want to figure out the Truth, as opposed to tradition. I don’t even know where to start. Even when it comes to reading the Bible, right now I…
One thing I’ve found as I’ve searched and explored is that I’m no longer certain about some of the beliefs I thought I was certain about. I no longer completely understand how some things fit together, nor do I understand how to do many of the things that I thought were basic. The conflict between…
How do you deal with something that people don’t believe exist. Or that you’ve seen and heard, but people think aren’t really there. I’m not talking about ghosts. My family, unfortunately, is dealing with darker things that hang on with tentacles and growl in the dark. How do you address something that the Bible hardly…
“Peace I give to You” Almighty One I need peace; Rest and comfort to calm my soul Help and order to sooth my mind. Confusion roils through my heart I seek Your truth I seek Your way But I find that I don’t find The answers that I seek I find that I don’t know…

Psalm 119:96 I have seen an end of all perfection, But Your commandment is exceedingly broad. Let me start by saying that I have no idea what to make of this verse. It pretty much says what it means, when it’s translated. In the midst of a psalm about God’s word and faithfulness, I don’t…
Numbers 21:8 Then the LORD said to Moses, ” [fn] Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a standard; and it shall come about, that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, he will live. My first thought when I read this verse was about the serpent. Why would God create something…
Sigh. I wish I knew more about Hebrew culture, language, and speech. I get so frustrated as I read. I know I don’t understand so much of it! For example, I’m reading Numbers 17. It’s after the rebellion and destruction of Korah. They’ve been swallowed up, the plague has killed thousands of Israelites in minutes. …
Leviticus – in general. I read Leviticus 27 today and it’s all about vows and avowed objects (people, animals, houses, etc.). I don’t get it. I’m sure the reason I don’t understand it is that I live now and all of this is rather foreign. Not to mention the fact that the way of phrasing…
