Chasing Aslan in the Real World
I've started to go through a devotional book titled, "The Cup of Your Life". It's a six-week journey to encountering the LORD via the metaphor of a cup. It requires the purchase of a cup of some sort and a dedicated journal to work in. Yesterday I went to a couple of stores to find... Continue Reading →
And so, the LORD God drives out the man and installs a pair of Cherubim with flaming swords that turned every which-way to guard the way to the Tree of Life. I’ve been chuckling a little to myself all morning as I’ve imagined this scene given the popular conception of cherubim/cherubs. The image of two... Continue Reading →
Yesterday I was visiting my parents for the celebration of my father’s somethingty-something birthday, and decided to take a sit in my Thoughtful Spot. My Thoughtful Spot is my favorite place on my parent’s property. In the center of the house lawn, facing a white-washed barn like structure, is an old porch swing that my... Continue Reading →
When I was a child, I was taught that the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil was a bad thing. How could it be otherwise? God told us that just touching it meant death. The Tree was a test of whether or not Adam and Eve really loved God and would trust Him... Continue Reading →

"And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden."

I’ve been slow in returning from Lent for a number of reasons. Chiefly, I have been attempting to process the experience in a healthy manner. Lent is not for the faint of heart. One of the inevitabilities of the Lenten season is that you will most likely fail, or at least falter, in completing... Continue Reading →
Recreation. Re-creation. Take time. These were the three words I heard while I was in a time of meditation with the Lord this morning. I had been directed, by someone very close to me, that I might want to go seek the LORD. Something was pushing them to push me, and I’m so very glad... Continue Reading →
There has been so much going on in the past month that I couldn't encapsulate it into a single post. Between contracting COVID and dealing with the after effects to revelations that have occurred after receiving some counseling/coaching, I haven't had much time or mental space to sit down and write anything out. But my... Continue Reading →
A few weeks ago, one of my Big Brothers in the LORD stood here and gave a communion meditation. I can’t remember which, so please forgive me, but he said something that has stuck with me this entire Christmas season. He mentioned that the shadow of the cross is cast across the manger. As with... Continue Reading →
