Blog postI love God’s intricate timing. Sometimes I end up late somewhere when I thought I’d left home in plenty of time, or I make an accidental wrong turn. Then later I learn my “mistake” kept me from a dangerous situation. In Psalm 37:23 we are told, “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord.” When we commit our day to God, He’ll see that we’re always in the right place at the right time.
One bright, sunny 108° afternoon I went for a nice cool walk in the air-conditioned mal -
Blog postI want to be fat! You’re probably surprised to hear me say this if you know me at all. In my adult years I’ve probably been on one diet or another more of the time than not, and am still seeking the right balance in my life regarding food and exercise. I do not enjoy being overweight.
However, in my spiritual life I want to be F-A-T: Faithful, Available, and Teachable. This acronym has apparently been in use for a long time, but I never heard it till a friend shared it with me recentl -
Blog postA little fish came to the wise old big fish with a question that was troubling him. ”Okay,” he said, ”I understand sand. I can see it below me. I know about rocks, and how to hide among them. And I know what plants are. But where’s this ocean everybody’s always talking about?”
Because the fish was in the ocean, and a part of it, he had no awareness of the water in and around him. I remember being surprised at the stillness around me the first time I went up in a hot air balloon. There -
Blog postI turned onto Highway 24, coming from Charis Bible College in Woodland Park, CO and heading west toward Dawn of Hope Ranch where I was staying. After four days of conferences, the route was familiar. As I left the evening session the moon shed little light on the road. I considered turning on the brights, but there was too much oncoming traffic.
The speed limit sign said 60, so I set the cruise control at 58 and was rolling along. I was challenged by the message at the conference and -
Blog postI really enjoy Tish’s blog posts. I featured one of them a few weeks ago, “Ride-along Chaplain.” In addition to being an author, Tish is a life coach and a hospital chaplain. I found this post very timely and thought-provoking as we approach the Fourth of July. Wishing you a happy and safe holiday.
The pager went off at what felt like the worst possible time: 01:38 AM. The few hours of sleep already stored weren’t enough and most of the next morning might be lost in recovery -
Blog postLetitia Suk is a friend from forty years ago with whom I lost contact until we recently discovered each other at a Christian writers’ conference. I heard her name when they introduced her as the conference chaplain, but silly me, I didn’t put it together that Letitia was actually Tish. I remember wondering if she was related to the Tish Suk I had once known. Eventually we became Facebook friends and I saw a picture of her with her husband, Tom. The lightbulb finally went on. Her recently

Blog postThe Bible contains many stories about the mothers of important characters. One of my favorites is Hannah. Her story sets an example of faith for us all – men and women alike. In Hannah, we see a great illustration of what it means to “walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7).
The story is in 1 Samuel Chapter 1. For many years, Hannah desired to have a child, but she was barren. Her husband’s other wife had many children. Every year when they would visit the temple, the other w -
Blog postWhen my son Doug turned nine years old, we had a birthday party. He is now an adult and father of three teenagers, and I haven’t thought about that party for years. But recently I found myself thinking about it as though it happened only a few days ago. I remembered all the preparations that went into that party: the cake I baked– a chocolate-frosted racetrack, complete with little cars; special paper plates and napkins; a dining room decorated with balloons and crêpe paper s

Blog postToday is the Spring Equinox, the First Day of Spring! The sun and the earth are in their places. Hopefully the weather will get the message soon! It’s at this time of year that the sun is directly in front of you if you’re heading west near the time of sunset, or east at sunrise, making driving a bit of a challenge. This happens because wherever you are on the planet, the sun is rising due east and setting due west.
When I was teaching Earth Science in high school, I celebrated this d -
Blog postLately I’ve been thinking a lot about memorial stones. In the Old Testament, we read about memorial stones people set up to commemorate a special event or encounter with God. The morning after Jacob wrestled with God, he set up a stone (Genesis 28:18-22) as a reminder of his experience at that place. After Joshua led the children of Israel across the Jordan River, God told them to take twelve stones from the middle of the riverbed to the new land where they were going. He also had twelve
