“ye are gods” Part 2
November 5, 2009
“How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations! You said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount [...]Ye Are Gods?

“They know nothing, they understand nothing. They walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken. “I said, ‘You are “gods”; you are all sons of the Most High.’ But you will die like mere men; you will fall like every other ruler.” (Psalm 82:5-7) I read Dan Brown’s new book The Lost Symbol [...]The La-Z-Boy

By Jenny Lou Jones With the birth of our first child, Lance told me that he’d help me rock our new baby to sleep if only I’d agree to buy a La-Z-Boy. His argument was that all decent and caring fathers had one thing in common—a big, boxy wad of material that calls itself a chair. [...]Cracks in the Sidewalk
October 11, 2009
By Jenny Lou Jones During my elementary years, I walked home after school. Well, it was more like I lollygagged and meandered, especially down the big hill that ended at my house. That last perilous slope was littered with cracks in the sidewalk that I had to avoid to keep my mother’s back intact. Where did [...]Why Did God Allow This to Happen? Part 2
October 3, 2009
Last week I wrote about why God would allow bad things to happen to people. Whether bad things were initiated by another person or by nature – like a tsunami or an earthquake. I also mentioned David Pawson’s book, Why Does God Allow Natural Disasters. The book came from a three hour TV series in [...]Why Did God Allow This to Happen?

I had lunch with a friend last week and he had a question for me. He mentioned, Jaycee Lee Dugard, the little girl in California who was kidnapped by Phillip and Nancy Garrido and used as a sex slave for eighteen years, bearing two children by Garrido during the time. My friend’s question was, “Why did [...]In Defense of Strays

“So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field.” (Genesis 2:20) We’ve got a cat named ‘Baby’. Let me back up. We’ve got four cats, six dogs, somewhere around fifty fish (the kind you feed, not the kind that feed you), and we’re house-parents [...]Breaking Free of Groundhog Day

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22-23) For the last few weeks we’ve talked about the old man who was crucified when we became new creatures in Christ. But that old man (or old woman) keeps popping [...]Groundhog Day … Again
August 26, 2009
Last week we talked about how being born again into life requires dying first; crucifying the old man whose behavior leads us into death. We also figured out how we crucify the old man – we kill his deeds, the behavior that leads us to death instead of life. Remember the old joke: “A man goes [...]Groundhog Day Part 2

“Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.” (Romans 8:5) In my last letter I talked about how what I want to do, I don’t do; but the very [...]-
