Forgiveness
Cry Havoc!
Every so often I have an experience that shakes me up, spins me around and sets me back down again. I take my first steps and I realize a few things are different. Changed. New. And it’s a wonderful moment. Over the weekend I took a retreat with a few close friends and mentors in … Continue reading
March 3rd – Day 62 – Baptism
I tried to find the post where I talked about this on the blog, but I have no idea where it went. This comes up as I talked about baptism at a recent junior high large group session and my brain pulled this memory from the back of the vault. A year or so ago … Continue reading
Feb 28th – Day 59 – Well, I’m not dead
Hello. My name’s Aaron. And I’m a complete screw up. Totally. Completely. From start to finish. If I was to travel forward in time I would probably find myself all those years later still a regular mess it up kind of guy. That little paragraph sums up just about how I feel at this moment. … Continue reading
Day 13 – The Stand Not Taken
I’m probably going to catch some flack for this, but I think Rick Warren may need to hire me as his public relations man. I would go so far as to say he’s definitely made life for us Christians a little harder in dealing with people who look at us like we’re crazy. Mind you, … Continue reading
Day 8 – Leviticus 4:32-35 – Sacrifice
Today is a rush because…well, I’ve got to sleep in preparation for my medical procedure in the morning. I wanted to at least put something to paper saying I indeed had done my devotion finally and was back on track. So here we go. The greatest questions for me always come into play when the … Continue reading
Day 6 – Exodus 33:21-34:7 – Revealing of God
I’m catching up (it’s a good thing that Day 7 is a “rest day” in my devotion book) so that means I’m behind with God which is never something I enjoy being. I’d rather be spending every day with God in a quiet moment where I read His word, seek its meaning for my own … Continue reading
Day 3 – Genesis 50:15-21 – Joseph’s Brothers
After 15 plus years in Children’s and Youth Ministries as a volunteer you’d think I’d have certain verses down pat and easily pulled from the memory banks. You’d think I’d have all the glorious back story ready to spill forth from my lips and educate the masses. You’d be wrong. Today’s section is a the … Continue reading
Daily- Luke 23:44-49
There is a song where the words, “The Wonders of His Love” are sung (it’s joy to the world) and there are times where I wonder if we’ve lost touch with that exact phrase. I missed a day in my daily so I’m back to pick up the pieces. I was skimming through the New … Continue reading
Daily- Luke 15:11-32: The Prodigal Son
Today I had a great conversation with someone I respect and love. We were dealing with our troubles and inner turmoil. As we talked, I found myself working through similar themes that we had both experienced over the last few years. A moment came where I needed a tale of biblical proportions. One that would … Continue reading
Daily – Psalm 143
I am now a wanderer in the Holy Bible. I enjoy sticking to a book but I’ve decided to forage for a bit of time before returning to my original course. Psalm’s is a wonderful book of 150 songs that move and shake simply by reading. Today I don’t have much to say but to … Continue reading
