Consistent prayer is a challenge for me. Here are more quotes from A Praying Life by Paul Miller.
You don’t create intimacy; you make room for it…In short, you can’t get to know God on the fly. (p. 47)
Time in prayer makes you even more dependent on God because you don’t have as much…
I’ve been reading this book on and off, and have pretty much read the whole book. But I’m reading it again from the beginning because it encourages me so much and I’ve forgotten so much. As I reread it, I will jot down some good points that I want to remember. This will be an ongoing post.
Read another mystery, but after this I will go back to nonfiction.
The motivation for the murder was not very believable. Side stories were also a bit on the ridiculous side.
No more of Ruth Rendell for me, at least for now unless I get desperate.
I don’t watch TV (except HGTV on Netflix) and I don’t like movies (except Disney Pixar and other clean movies). The book is always better.
In this book by Patricia Wentworth, the build up and character development was pretty good, I was quite drawn in. But the mystery was solved in the last few pages…

I needed to take a break from serious reading and do some mindless entertainment. An old-fashion whodunnit mystery novel is always my first choice of fun reading.
When I googled “authors like Agatha Christie”, Charlotte MacLeod came up. I checked out this Professor Peter Shandy murder mystery. The murder and resolution was somewhat satisfying, sort of a 2.5 stars. The characters were not developed deeply enough to make the murderer plausible. The motive for the murders was rather weak as well.
The Old Testament is full of rules and rituals that the Israelites are to follow. It seems like a religion of works but it really isn’t.
As finite beings, how can we know an infinite God? God makes himself known by giving us these means or “tools” to know him. The end goal of all…
Pastor H said in his sermon on Sunday that people shouldn’t be surprised when they find out you go to church. It’s not a good thing if they say, “Oh, I couldn’t tell you’re a Christian!”
I like what Aaron says here about having a consistent lifestyle as a church leader. Actually all who call…
I was given this book from my church (chosen by Aaron Lee) to align ourselves in proper worship of God. The beginning few chapters are foundations which were necessary but a bit redundant for me. But my interested peaked at Chapter 6 on. Here are a few points I found insightful.
Some Christians have…
This little book is packed with important principles for the role of parents based on Scripture. It’s easy to read, it’s clear, it’s practical, it convicts, it’s inexpensive. It presents concisely what it means to disciple your own children at home.
Every parent should read this. And when you need to be reminded of why…

Day 9 Matthew 2:3
I can be a child of God, be a follower of Jesus for years, and yet some days I can live as if he’s not there.
“Let this Christmas be the time when you consider the Messiah and ponder what it is to worship him.”
