It started with a conversation I had recently,about where the world is heading. About how thingsContinue reading “Are you wondering where the world is headed?”
Thoughts on Autumn
What’s your view about autumn? To be honest, I used to really dislike it. The amount of sunlight affects how I feel (like many others- maybe you, too), and the darkening descent into winter used to fill me with dread. It still does, a bit, but my attitude has also changed. My friend Jenny helped meContinue reading “Thoughts on Autumn”

Thoughts from my tent..
I just got back from another week of camping. These are thoughts I wrote while I was there… So I’m back in a tent for another week of worshipping Jesus with many others and sharing about what He is doing across the seas in Asia. And, again, it has made me think. There is somethingContinue reading “Thoughts from my tent..”
More on anxiety… How being loved changes everything…
Our Father always knows what’s best. Sometimes that’s easy to see. Often, it’s very hard. But it’s true, just the same. If we are following Jesus, we are so, so secure in God’s love (and if you’re not a Christian yet, you can find that security by becoming one!).
