"Masquerade! Paper faces on parade . . .Masquerade! Hide your face, so the world will never find you!" Perhaps not one of the most well-known songs from the Phantom of the Opera, but when someone brings up this musical favorite of mine, "Masquerade" is invariably the...

I am a closet super hero. And by that I don't mean that I have a cape, a belt full of super-secret weapons, and a bat cave. Bats are cute and all, but I'm not all that excited about the idea of shacking up with them. Nor am I a fan of tights. Photo Credit: GregW...

Have you ever prayed a prayer that was "too big for your britches?" Some time ago I asked God to allow me to live a life that was so far beyond my natural abilities that others would look at me and know without a doubt that it was all of God. This sounded rather...
read moreThe Gifts of Death: Healing
This post is the third in a series of truths that the Lord has really been revealing to me in new and personal ways of late. The first initial thought is that death is a gift and when we break down that idea further we find that through death we are also given hope in...

Forgetting the Fairy Tale Chapter 1 “Once upon a time.” Isn’t that how all of the great stories begin? “Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess.” Now let’s be honest. Who hasn’t dreamed of becoming royalty? The magnificent castle, the devoted servants, the...

Yesterday morning I saw a church sign that just made me chuckle. "May your troubles be as short as your New Year's Resolutions." I know in my own life, my resolutions have been little more than fodder for future regrets. I may have had very good intentions, but...

There is none like you among the gods, O Lord, nor are there any works like yours. All the nations you have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord, and shall glorify your name. For you are great and do wondrous things; you alone are God. Teach me your way, O...

Psalm 86:1-7 Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy. Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily. Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O...
