Practicing Resurrection Day 30

I have replaced my MP3 player with a camera as I go out on my "schlogs". I have been allowing myself to do more walking than jogging as I continue to practice this resurrection life. It is too tempting for me still to be efficient in exercise, to just check it off the to do …

Practicing Resurrection Day 19

“Because children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged. They always say, "Do it again"; and the grown-up person does it again until he is nearly dead. For grown-up people are not strong enough to exult in monotony. But perhaps God is strong enough …

Death

Death messes with us. I know it messes with me. Last week another soul was set free from their fallen body and all its sickness. She completed the days God had set for her here. She lived it so well. She was compassionate and kind. She loved Jesus with everything she had, and her joy …

Release

My brain was on overdrive. My heart was so heavy. I wasn't sure which would explode first. My first born was starting his senior year. I had one more official year with him as we homeschooled. Did we mess him up already? What about all the other things we need to teach him still? How …

Incomplete

I have heard it many times, and even said it myself, after someone shares their story, "wow, if I had known that was going on..." or "I wish I had known that about them before." Whatever their behavior, it becomes easier to overlook bad behavior, or be amazed at someone's desirable behavior when we hear …

Become

Cindy White is a woman that I knew for too short of time, but who left many marks on me. I have written some of the lessons she taught me here https://inkblotlife.com/2018/10/15/more-than-this-moment/ and here https://inkblotlife.com/2018/10/25/god-buys-dirt/ Today's word prompt is become. It made me think of Cindy's Celebration of Life Service and the teens there with …

Inhale

I inhale chocolate which is why I eat dark chocolate, it slows me down a bit. I inhale tea, mostly because by the time I remember it, or find it, it is lukewarm. I inhale books, and move on to the next one. I started keeping a "common book" where I write quotes and ideas …

Awake

Awake, I used to think I lived life fully awake, until a few of years ago when I truly woke up. I realized I was in the sleepy state where reality merges into dreamland. It all feels so real, but it is not. Alarm clocks go off in the real world, but somehow get merged …

Love

I tend to be a go big or go home type of person. I have always wanted to do big things for God and big things for others. If I cannot do the big thing then I tend to get paralyzed and make things so complicated until they do not happen. I have learned over …

Human

I was driving out of the grocery store parking lot when I saw a row of bright orange signs with bold lettering. It was simple and straight forward, "Drug Dealers are Murderers." I was taken back by it. That seemed like such an extreme statement. Then I was reminded of all the hateful comments under …
