What do we have to be thankful for? Let us count the ways. In the Celebrate Recovery Lesson 22 on Gratitude John Baker recommends we create a Gratitude List. First of all, what are we thankful to God for? Can we offer prayers of gratitude to the God who created us? This CR lesson on gratitude took me to Psalm 100. There are only five verses to ...

Affirmation of God: My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you.
And Job said: "My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you.” (Job 42:5) NIV Job is saying this to GOD. Yes, I had heard OF you BUT NOW I have seen you. The light bulb has gone off; the blinders have been taken away. Bear with me for a second but I beg to ask you can it be this SIMPLE to see God? Yes, so many of us say we don’t see or ...

Affirmation of God: I believe.
Jesus asked, "Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me?” (John 14:10 NKJ) What’s it gonna be boy yes or no? Ok that was my part but John 14 is making me unusually brief today. God DOES have a sense of humor. You know when your very own mother tells you that your writings are too long and she doesn’t have time to read them. ... Continue Reading »
Affirmation of God: I am free indeed.
Freedom, what is true freedom? True freedom seems to leave out the “but” and “ifs”. What good is it to say we have freedom but live life as though we do not. Freedom without reservation, for me, only comes as Jesus promised in John 8:36 "Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.” (NKJ). Right now this very moment I am totally ...
