How real is our enemy's war?

How is it that a Christian girl, raised in a Christian home and educated in a Christian school, has never read The Pilgrim's Progress? I ignorantly believed before starting Bunyan's work that the majority of the it dealt…
My Distractions and Idolatry, Part III of III

"It isn't that the cat-idea is sinful. Like Kai, my getting a cat has minimal butterfly-effect on the world and Kingdom. Yet the fact that I put so much time into a future-possibility as I ignored present-realities led…
The Valley of the Shadow of Death, dodging arrows and pestilence and people dropping like flies...

One of my biggest fears when it comes to romantic relationships is adultery. Why shouldn't I have this fear? After all the married men that hit on me, the fact that I overhear all too-revealing, male conversations, tha…
Posting a "Beware of Dog" sign (but shhh...there is no dog!)

I happened to pass a fenced-in yard today that bore numerous "Beware of Dog" signs, and yet I saw no evidence of a dog. There was no trampled snow, no telltale dark clumpage, no toys or bowls or blankets...nothing to in…
The battle of the cabinet doors.

The lit flame.

Soil knats are an unfortunate pest I see too often at work. These bugs eat fungus, and without fungi, the world wouldn't have soil. So to own potted plants means you own fungus, which means you run the risk of getting…
Words Jesus found good enough to quote.

"Give me new eyes in my reading tonight," I asked of God, and turned to Isaiah 59. Only as I began reading I immediately realized it wasn't Isaiah 59; as great as energy-efficient bulbs are for the electric bill and env…
18 pounds of grapefruit...and then a cold.

Ironic, that I can spend months eating things like candy, ice cream, and cheap pizza for dinners and be entirely healthy, yet the week I commit to eating fruits and healthy meals, I get sick. Wednesday, I woke up with a…
