Spring in Minnesota
I will admit that snow in April is not one’s ideal picture for spring, but the beauty of the snow-covered trees and bright reflecting landscapes cannot be denied. I personally love how our fresh snow fall coincides so perfectly with Easter.

To Let Go
I lay there wide-eyed, I should be sleeping but instead my mind is whirling, visions of speeding cars and the sound of crunching metal fill my ears. The thoughts are going faster than I can track them. Normally, I am not one to worry, but anxiety has it’s hold on me with this one. I spend a few nights a week unable to sleep, focused on just one thing, my child will be driving soon.
Now if this story w
as from this past week it may make more sense, since she turns 15 soon, but sadly this story started when she was 12. It just happened one night I went to bed without a worry and the next I was in a panic about the future.

Does God’s Way Allow Sex Outside of Marriage? The Bible’s Teaching
After a couple of blogs setting up the role of the Bible in guiding how we live for Jesus, we now are positioned to better tackle the question of sex outside of marriage. Remember, we begin by listening to Scripture rather than hoping Scripture will say what we want it to say! The Bible will guide us, but we have to receive it as words of life!

I Need the Rail
Life circles around us in swirling chaos. It’s rare that I just stop and kneel before the Lord; taking time for quiet reflection or repentance. In the busyness of life I don’t take time to reflect often.
After awhile I can feel my heart yearn for something.
This current sermon series is reminding me of all my times at the rail. I started attending Red Rock Camp when I was going into 3rd grade. At the end of each evening worship there is a call to the altar. It was during one of those calls that I accepted Christ in elementary school and it was at one of those calls that I felt God’s healing hand. Through the years I have come to find myself and God at that rail.

Sex Outside of Marriage Part 2
The question was (and often is) put to me this way, “Does the Bible prohibit sex outside of marriage?” Or, I hear it another way, “Does the Bible (or God) allow sex outside of marriage?”
The question is innocent enough, but I find it helpful to flush out the question behind the question. Sometimes people ask the question from a biased starting point. Often, I discover that what people ask me is really, “Is there a way for me to still do what I want?” The starting point for some is even, “I want to have sex outside of marriage, and I am looking for a way for the Bible to tell me I can.”

Finding the Perfect Gift
And so we shop, and browse and hunt for deals and then do it all again at another store. And why do we do it? Why do we give gifts this time of year? Because it makes us feel good? Because we know we will be getting something in return? Because this is what people do for Christmas?

Christmas Music is Worship Music
Christmas can be such a “fluffy” time of year. Santa rears his ugly head and consumerism plagues our bank accounts. We can become pretty good at reciting nice platitudes about love and joy and peace, but come January, all the expectations of the holiday season are gone and we are just left with another year…one that looks a lot like the last.

Making Room
“There was no room for Jesus in the Inn.” Luke 2:7
Do you struggle during the Christmas season, like I do? I feel like I am in a constant fight with myself around this time of year. Not between Jesus and Santa, an over commercialized aspect of the holiday but with savoring His birth and the hustle of the season.
I feel like the Innkeepers of Jesus’s day, with no room for him in my life.
From the start of September through January 1st, it seems like just one hustle after another. As soon as school starts, the leaves change and pumpkins arrive on doorsteps, then Thanksgiving is here and before we know it December is in full swing. Christmas time brings its own schedule of busyness to our lives.
I begin to feel overwhelmed and exhausted.
