I Don’t Want To!

Posted in Reflections, tagged , , , , on January 25, 2012 | Leave a Comment »

I really wish that life was all unicorns and rainbows. That’d be awesome. It would be great if life was only made up of things that were easy, of things that we liked doing; of things that we would chose to do. That’s not the way that it works. Life is not always made of [...]

Something Better

One of the great things about the New Year and the starting over we get to do each year in this time is the chance to reaccess what is most important. What matters most. What are really living for? There is something better than the 9-5 grind that many of experience each day. There is [...]

Paul today reminds us what we were made for by God. We were not created for destruction. God did not make us to condemn us. We were made for salvation, made for relationship with Him. As the statement is said, What is the chief end of man? To know God and to enjoy Him forever. [...]

What Are We Here For?

Posted in Reflections, tagged , , on November 10, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

Why are we here? What are we here for? That’s a question that we’ve asked at some point in our lives. That’s a question we’ve all pondered at some point in our lives. That’s a question that we’ve all thought about it. It may be something that’s kept us up, robed our sleep, caused us [...]

Good Gifts

God wants good things for us.  Really, He does. Now, saying that is a dangerous statement.

Who Are You Living For?

Who are you living for? What is the purpose of your life? Who, in your life, who do you want to see happy? Whose purpose, pleasure, and joy are you living for? Are you living for yourself? Or are you living for God? Today’s reflection will be shorter, because I want you to really stop [...]

What You Were Made For

Posted in Reflections, tagged , , on November 30, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Not to go all Joel Olsten on you, but you were created by God to be something special. You were formed to be something uniquely you. You are unlike anyone else in all of creation.  You are unlike anyone else that’s ever been born. There’s no one like, and you have a purpose in this [...]
