A New Place to Vlog

Shalom shalom, my friends. I’ve started another vlog, and this one’s right here on Blogger. I just had to figure out how to compress the video files without losing too much quality in uploading them onto this platform.

The content will be periodic video messages on observations of God’s love and hearing his voice through his creation.

I wanted to let you know about this progress, so if you ever wanted to jump over there, it’s just a link or click away...

I Can’t Shake the Feeling…

Image
I can’t shake the feeling that somebody’s waiting on me. Although, I believe in my sphere I’ve dotted all the i's and crossed the t's, and nobody I’ve met or personally know of is waiting on me for anything. Yet, in my spirit, it feels like someone is waiting on me, or for me, for… well, something. I wonder if this is how God feels, since everybody he knows—which is everybody—is waiting on him to do something, pull strings for them, or perform a miracle. We are needy people. But God is God, so among all the wonderful attributes about him, he’s omni-patient. That means having endless patience and the ability to endure all things. It says in 2 Peter 3:9: “The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.” Yes, he gives humanity time to turn to him, but the scripture also suggests that as people we might feel like he’s slow or neglectful. I mean, come on already,...

A Little Something About Animals (From a Biblical Perspective)

Image
While in a small group setting, several years back, a conversation turned to Noah’s Ark with the focus on human behavior and how humanity was eventually saved. Since we were also among horses, I casually mentioned how important animals are to God because look at what he instructed Noah to build for the sake of the animals and to repopulate the earth. The ark was estimated to be well over 500 feet long, close to 90 feet wide, and approximately 50 feet high. Some say it was close to the size of a football field and had the capacity to accommodate two of every kind of land animal…. or, from another perspective, at least 113,000 of one kind.   This immense size and purpose for saving the animals he created. Wow. Of course, with humans he reserved for the best, but he was sorely disappointed in this part of his creation, because we’d proven to be such willful and sinful creatures, and he wanted to start over. A fresh slate. With the animals.   Among our group, a couple said...

To the Socially Awkward: It’s Okay!

Image
You step away from a conversation, inwardly cringe, and think: “Ach, I shouldn’t have said that.” Later that night, as you lie awake dwelling on something better you could’ve— should’ve —said, it dawns on you that you just might be socially awkward. If not all the time, then maybe once or twice in life you’ve imagined a better verbal comeback or healthier line of encouragement after the fact. I’d had a week of those kinds of interactions. Although I’m naturally a reclusive introvert, I’ve learned to get along when I must. I don’t hate people; in fact, I love people how God has commanded us to. People are interesting. It’s just that I’m more of a thinker and observer. When I feel the need to say something, I prefer to spend time pondering it first. Anything abrupt isn’t usually my mojo; I don’t have the gift of gab. A one-on-one is great, or with a few I know well, and I can be quite talkative then. But add a few more or a group setting—especially among people I hardly know—and I can ...
