Mark 10:9 6“But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’ 7‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, 8and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one. 9Therefore what God has joined together, let man...

There are two things I almost always hear when I tell someone I homeschool my son. The first thing is usually “OH!,” as though a spider just crawled over my shoulder and surprised them. The second thing, without fail, will be a remark or concern about “socialization.”
It was my first c... Comment - Like

I’m not really a coffee-snob. People think that I am. But it’s not true. I just don’t like coffee that doesn’t taste like anything. The first coffee I really liked was some *highly* aromatic, “irish-crème” flavored coffee. My roommates and me drank it like it was keeping us alive. ... Comment - Like

Who Am I?
I re-read a story recorded in a historical account of Jesus’ life, death and resurrection known commonly referred to as Luke’s gospel. I had read it earlier this week, and when I sat down this morning to read, it was still there- so I went ahead and read it again.

Jesus Anointed by a Sinful Woman
36 When one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to have dinner with him, he went to the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table. 37 A woman in that town who lived a sinful life learned that Jesus was eating at the Pharisee’s house, so she came there w... Comment - Like

I have 3 brothers. 2 older, and one younger. My relationship with each of them is more than unique. It’s flat out different.
I have regrets of course. The real killer is that I have the opportunity to affect all of those relationships- but I don’t. Maybe it’s fear. More likely it’s... Comment - Like

On Forgiveness, on Confession
I was in a moment of contrition this morning, listing off the litany of my spiritual ails. It grieves me of course. I was trying to accept the forgiveness of God promised in Jesus, whilst confessing sin by sin. Of course, I desire to live apart from anger, lust, gl... Comment - Like

It may seem tiresome. Waiting, I mean. I can say for my part that waiting usually feels like time wasted. Waiting. Even writing the word out makes me a little jumpy. I’m in a season of waiting right now. Maybe you are.

Happy Holidays from Stories & Fingerprints….
Malarky. I don’t even want to wish you a merry Christmas. Yeah. Anymore, I’m afraid you’ll miss the point. Because you’re dumb? No. Course not. Because I’m mean? Well, I won’t rule that out, but that’s not why.

So I’ve been kind of wondering lately. It’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything on here, and I think it’s because I got stuck trying to write instead of just listening to God speak into my stone cold little heart and trying to make sense of it.

I’ve been reading in the Book of Hosea recently. Hosea received instruction from God’s Spirit to take a wife. A girl with a “reputation,” shall we say? I’m glad I missed out on that call.
By this woman, Hosea had three children. His first child, a boy, he gave kind of a weird name: ... Comment - Like

What happens when the church stands up? I’m not going to say what would happen. There are lots of people who are willing to, and I suppose if I hung out with them, I might be more inclined to seeing their point of view.

Do you look in the mirror and say to yourself: I have something absolutely crucial to the world to do today? Nah. Me neither.

So, for a couple reasons, I've been pondering the word "worship" for awhile now.
