Bred for life
Just like a horse breeder carefully chooses his crosses for a predictable outcome, the Lord has created each of us to take after him. He has shaped each of us as a potter shapes a clay pot; as a breeder calculates the odds of a desirable foal. In our case, there are no disappointing results – we are exactly as God designed us.

Stop Being So Emotional
Somewhere in our upbringing we were conditioned not to show our emotions unless our emotion was anger. But God created us with the full range of emotions and stifling our emotions is as unnatural as repressing our need to eat. Continue reading
Answered Prayers
Thanksgiving seems like the perfect time to look back at my prayer journal to see how God has answered some of my prayers this past year. Here’s a quick summary. Continue reading
I beg to differ
As a blogger, leader and Christian, I won’t always be popular. I oftentimes hold opinions that don’t agree with society’s views on issues. But I have to be true to Christ first and myself second while at the same time being understanding and loving toward those whose opinions differ from mine. Continue reading
More Treats
I enjoy giving my horse treats. The problem is that he has come to expect them now. Before he’s even swallowed one, he’s begging for another. It’s as if he’s forgotten I had just given him something good. Don’t we do the same with God?

Choosing Thankfulness
This Thanksgiving when so many people are unemployed or facing foreclosure, and the headlines always seem to be discouraging, we need to choose to be thankful. Thankful for what we do have and remembering God’s provision in the past and his eternal faithfulness, to trust him for today and tomorrow. Continue reading
Annual Twin Cities Alpha Celebration
I’m supporting Alpha Twin Cities. Why? Because I’ve seen how God uses Alpha to make a difference in people’s lives. I believe Alpha can be a tool to bring change in the Twin Cities. Have you taken it yet? Has it made a difference in your life? If it has, perhaps you want to join me at the 2009 Twin Cities Alpha Celebration event tomorrow or in making a donation to support Alpha?

Part of a herd
Horses are herd animals. They look out for one another. We, too, need help from others. To our do-everything-for-ourselves society, it may seem to be a shortcoming to rely on others, when in reality, life is richer, fuller when we’re in relationships. Continue reading
