My Life as a Tree: Growing from Season to Season (Skipping Rocks #6 – Part 4)

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to […]

My Life as a Tree: Getting Life from the Source (Skipping Rocks #6 – Part 2)

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams […]

My Life as a Tree: Growing Strong by Being Still (Skipping Rocks #6 – Part 1)

Blessed are those who trust in the LORD, whose trust is the LORD. They shall be like a tree planted by water, sending out its roots by the stream. It shall not fear when heat comes, and its leaves shall stay green; in the year of drought it is not anxious, and it does not […]

Green (Skipping Rocks #5)

Green is my favorite color. When my daughter and I take our walks around the property, especially around the stream and pond, we love the green. Green grass, green trees, green shrubs and even some green bugs. I even like it as a sentiment when sung by Kermit the Frog, but I don’t want […]

Have you ever seen a Caddisfly? It is an insect that spends its larval stage in the water, usually streams, creeks and ponds. It sometimes camouflages itself with gravel and twigs, attaching itself to rocks in the current to catch food. (They also make excellent bait). The Caddisfly is just one of dozens of critters […]

Change is Good: The Gift of Seasons (Skipping Rocks Blog Post 3)

How I Learned to Roll With the Ripples: God’s Un-Random Acts of Kindness (Skipping Rocks Part 2)

Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful.

Skipping Rocks and Other Spiritual Disciplines Part 1

Come and see the works of the LORD, the desolations he has brought on the earth. He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth; he breaks the bow and shatters the spear, he burns the shields with fire. “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, […]

A Picture May Be Worth Less Than You Think
