Where is Dad?
My husband and I are blessed with rambunctious kids who needed guidance and discipline, so it was a small wonder that we had many occasions for creative time-outs. They lived and learned that “with great freedom comes great responsibility” and we learned that rich experiences shape rich character. ‘ 8 though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience

What did He say to you?
Tender mercies abound in a world where our one true God reigns. Last night, we were blessed with an evening of after-dinner discussion about the goodness of God. This happens more often than not. But some nights, my heart is filled with gratitude for the love God brings into our lives. It is a rare

Botox or not to Botox
Since the beginning of time, we have laid emphasis on outward appearances. Do not get me wrong, I love dressing up. Hair, makeup, outfit, shoes, matching accessories are an integral part of my routine. But how will I handle aging, wrinkling, sagging and perishing? So many of my lovely friends gave into Botox, should I

Father! Abba!
My Bible reading today concluded Esther and 1 Corinthians. The theme that struck me was love and fatherhood. ‘ And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. ‘ -1 Corinthians 13:2 Most

About 7 months ago, I resolved to set aside Fridays as my “do not judge others” day. The rules of this day were to refrain from thinking anything negative about people or saying anything negative about people. Constructive feedback is fine as long as it comes from a place of love. In short, I signed

Bring Father to Work Day
Most Christians spend at least an hour everyday with Jesus. There is a peacefulness that comes from spending time in communion with God. Praying, reading scripture, journaling and chatting with God. Some Christians call it daily devotional and others their Holy Hour. Hope this is your daily habit. Especially because it is the best thing

Fisherman
Our loving pastor decided to organize a 40-day New Testament challenge at the beginning of this year. Rules of the challenge are that we have to read the entire New Testament in 40 days, back-to-back. I signed up, this exercise gave me a chance to see Peter transform from an impulsive, brash fisherman to the

Perfect Peace
Our mind holds the key to how we act and perceive things. Protecting the mind is very important for everyone, Christians and non-believers alike. How you think shapes what you do, attract into your life and how you live. Your mind controls your conscious and unconscious state. In chapter 52 of the book, “Your life

Karma
Karma is a secular concept that should be shunned by Christians. Karma is defined as cause and effect. Future or immediate consequences to current actions. I see this word hurled around a lot, but I doubt that one realizes that we minimize our savior’s work when we assume that we are bound by karma. ‘
