Fly High or Dive Deep?
Good afternoon, Making Space for God friends! I love “Making Space Monday” blog where I get to share my thoughts with you about ways to grow in our Christian faith. This morning, I have been thinking about whether or not I am the kind of person that likes to fly high or dive deep. Not […]
What Are Offenses?
This week we started a new course, Tearing Down the Fences of Offenses. We all run into offenses at times – it’s part of life. But it’s how we handle them that makes all the difference. We’ll be talking about that in this short 3-week mini course and I’ll be following it with a longer […]
The Final Exam
Do you remember when you had to prepare for your final exams? One of my most anxiety producing exams was a European history exam. The thing about exams is that there is absolutely nowhere to get help from, no cheetahpapers.com to turn to, no books to remind you of key facts, no discussions with others […]
New Year’s Resolutions
Every year during the month of December I spend time talking to God about the New Year and evaluating the past year. I do not approach this as an arduous task but one I look forward to each year. I review the things that went well the past year and think about the things that […]
If You are Happy and You Know It
Happy New Years to our Making Space for God community! I have this tune going through my head as I ring in the New Year, “ If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands… If you’re happy and you know it, tap your head..,” Okay – you can tell I have had lots of time with […]
Our True Love Gave to Us…
“On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me…” You remember the song, don’t you? The one about the presents that were given by someone’s “true love?” As we prepare for Christmas tomorrow, I want to encourage you all to make space for our true love, Jesus Christ. Somehow in the midst […]
And the Word Became Flesh
Happy Monday, Making Space for God friends! This morning I have been meditating on the following Scripture: 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing […]
Managing Our Time
Today, I want to share with you a post I shared on the blog last year during Advent, but I think the subject still hits home for many of us today — managing our time. I hope that as we embrace this Advent season, we are all encouraged to make space for God in our […]
Wound Up Over Nothing
So here we are officially in the advent season. And we have two choices. We can enter in to the mad rush of shopping, baking, writing Christmas cards, parties…. or we can first enter into the secret place with the Lord each day and then start our busy days. I am not Scrooge telling you not […]
Healed by His Wounds
Once again, I wanted to pop in here and share with you some notes from my weekly teaching. Although our study of Isaiah is coming to a close, we’re excited to be offering not one but two studies during our semester starting in January. I invite you to join me for a short 3-week series […]
