Generosity

Keeping Your Left Hand in the Dark

I’m often challenged by Jesus’ command to do my giving in secret.  I love the promise for a better reward when we quietly go about doing good for others.
“So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored [...]

Traveling Light

A few weeks ago, I wrote a few posts about traveling and then I went quiet on you.  So, I assumed that you assumed that I was actually doing the traveling.  Travel we did…across the country and back again.

I’ve been thinking about CHANGE recently, not just because Obama is President but because I’m reading YOU CAN CHANGE.

Everyday…Redeemed

This is the first post in a series that will probably last as long as the blog does.  The purpose in this series is to take everyday things-cooking, cleaning, traditions, holidays, driving, whatever-and think about the ways that God could use those things in redemptive ways.  The commands to be living sacrifices, faithful in prayer, [...]

But Wait, I want YOU too

My little girl has been dealing with private ownership in the last six months or so.

Scenario: She and another child are hard at play.  Other child begins to be interested in a toy (she has had no interest in said toy for the last three weeks).  She immediately becomes completely enthralled with toy.  She has [...]
