Mini Golf Mercies and Bowling Bumpers

Image
The other day I was out playing mini golf with my mom and siblings. I had a great start and felt I was on my way to my best score yet! Then we reached a hole with a BIG hill. My sisters had struggled a little on the previous holes and we had given them "do-overs" that didn't count toward their score. It was mini golf, no one takes it that seriously... right?  Well, I could not get up that big hill. After 3 tries I finally made it feeling a little disappointed about my "best game" yet score. My group told me I didn't have to count two of those strokes. I should have been thrilled. That would put me back in the running for getting my best score yet! Instead, I felt like it wouldn't count. My great low score wouldn't "really" be true. Immediately, the Lord touched my heart with a parallel. Jesus went to the cross so I could get my "best score" ever! But would I humble myself to accept His mercy?  On another day I went bowling with my...

The Secret Lies with Charlotte

19 Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him. Psalm 105:19 KJV One of my favorite movies is National Treasure . I love the history, mystery, and intricate plot.

There is a magnificent treasure hidden away and only one clue of its existence remains. The secret lies with Charlotte. How often does the Lord promise us something, a treasure beyond all imagine! Yet there is only one word that links us from our present physical realm to this unseen gift. Just like the little boy Ben in the movie, when we first receive this promise, we listen in wonder at the magnificent story and our eyes are aglow with the adventure before us, but ever so quickly the voice of the seen call...

But at Midnight...

 I'm sorry, I've never wanted to have one of those mysterious blogs where the writer disappears and everyone wonders what happened to them! But I'm not really ready to say I'll never blog again, so... you'll have to bear with me!  Then the multitude rose up together against them (Paul and Silas); and the magistrates tore off their clothes and commanded them to be beaten with rods. And when they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, commanding the jailer to keep them securely. Having received such a charge, he put them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in the stocks. But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. Acts 16:22-25 Have you ever really thought about this story? Can you image being beaten with a rod and then fastened in the stocks. You're in, I'm sure, incredible pain, but you can't even move to find the most comfortable position. They weren't...
