With each tick of the clock, a petal from the rose does fall.
Job 12:9-11 Botox doesn’t stand a chance… Plastic surgery? A little nip here and a little tuck there – yeah, they’ll last for a time. But God’s design cannot be defeated. We can do things to slow it down or mask it’s progress, but in the end, God’s intended creation wins. The point of today’s…
Read MoreThe top of the mountain is often disguised as the bottom of the pit… and vice versa.
Genesis 37:12-36 A cancer diagnosis… Graduating from college… What could these two things possibly have in common? Well, directly… nothing. Indirectly… a lot. But you’ve probably already figured that out. One is the bottom of the pit and the other is the top of the mountain. First of all, let me say that I don’t…
Read MoreIf you count your eggs before they hatch, life will probably invite the neighbors over for a breakfast buffet.
Proverbs 16:9 Have you ever counted your eggs and come up short when it’s time to put them in the refrigerator? What happened? Did you miscount? Or, did one of the eggs hatch and run off as you made your way inside from the barn? Probably neither. The answer to the mystery of the missing…
Read MoreNo one is immune from having “thistles in their garden” for even the Apostle Paul had a thorn to deal with.
2 Corinthians 12:6-10 If you spend much time on Social Media, you probably think that everybody else lives in Lake Wobegon. Huh? Yeah, Lake Wobegon. “Where is that?” you might ask. Or maybe you’re asking, “What is that?” First of all, if you’re asking one of those two questions, you’re revealing your youthful age. For…
Read MoreThe older you get, the more you realize the dumber you used to be.
Job 12:12 Would you rather be dumb than stupid? Is that a trick question? You might be asking, “Can I have a third option?” Sure, but first, you have to answer a couple of philosophical questions: Was Forrest Gump correct when he said, “Stupid is as stupid does.” ? What about a slight variation, “Dumb…
Read More“I wish I had done that.” will never coax a Genie from the bottle.
Ecclesiastes 7:21-25 Okay, let’s test that theory… Go grab your Genie bottle and rub on it. I’ll wait. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. (that’s me waiting…) You’re back! So, how did that go? Did anything happen? I thought so… nothing. After that useless exercise, (although I enjoyed watching it 🙂 ), I suppose I should ask…
Read MoreThose who don’t believe in the reality of God’s intervention have never rightfully considered their first breath.
Genesis 1:26-28 Stop. Take a deep breath. You can thank God for that. How do I know that? Because the Bible says so. Let’s back up a step… Perhaps the question is “Why do I believe that?” This post is my answer. But first, let’s look at today’s Tiny Words. Big Life. quote. When I…
Read MoreWhat your spirit leaves behind is more important than what your body came with.
Genesis 21:12 If I say “B.Y.O.B.”, what do you think of? Yeah, me too… which brings up a point. Generally speaking, people are like that common phrase that’s sent out on party invitations… They’re more interested in what you’re bringing to the table than what you’re leaving at the table. As a Christian, our life…
Read MoreChange is life’s way of pinching you to remind you that you’re breathing.
1 Samuel 10:9 I remember being in church as a kid and my mother would pinch my leg if I got too rowdy on the pew. It was her way of reminding me that I need to change. It worked. Life can sometimes be like my momma on the church pew… Ouch! Today’s Tiny Words.…
Read MoreIf God was on Twitter, would you be worthy of Him following you?
Luke 5:17-20 First of all, I’m not sure that Twitter would allow God to have an account… They’d probably ban Him but, I’ve got a feeling He could get back on if He wanted to. But, let’s assume for the sake of this post, that God has an account on Twitter. Would He follow you?…
