  And Mary said:  “My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me– holy is his name. His mercy extends to…

• The Good Shepherd: Tending a Blemished Flock

  I myself will tend my sheep and have them lie down, declares the Sovereign LORD. I will search for the lost and bring back the strays. I will bind up the injured and strengthen the weak, but the sleek and the strong I will destroy. I will shepherd the flock with justice. – Ezekiel 34:15-16…

• The Blessing of Empty Hands

  This is a re-post from December of 2009.  This week had a lot of life going on, but not a lot of writing.  I originally wrote this about 3 years ago and have continued to think about the discipline of maintaining empty space in my life for God to do His business. The Blessing of…

• Pressing On: Keeping Christ in Sight

  Therefore, my brothers, you whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, that is how you should stand firm in the Lord, dear friends! – Philippians 4:1 (NIV) The sermon on Sunday was one of those gentle, but insistent nudges from God to redirect and refocus; an arm around the shoulders and a…

• Pressing On: A Little Bit More Like Jesus than Me

  Join with others in following my example, brothers, and take note of those who live according to the pattern we gave you. – Philippians 3:1-21 (NIV)  I have experienced great joy and satisfaction watching my littlest girl imitate her older sister.  She has been doing it more and more, a little shadow following her object of…

  All of us who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. Only let us live up to what we have already attained. – Philippians 3:15-16 My children are a wonder to me. It is indescribable what the…

  Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.  Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining…

• Pressing On: One Man’s Treasure is Another Man’s Rubbish

  What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ  and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that…
