Faith Interrupted: September 2014
http://laura-lewis.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 11, 2014. To my baby girl on 9/11/01. A Day of Terror. To my daughter: you are not quite seven months. Oh, sweet girl, such horror has occurred in the United States today. Two commercial airplanes crashed into the World Trade Center Twin Towers. Moments later they collapsed. Two other planes crashed - one into The Pentagon - the other in Pittsburgh. This is an act of terrorism - by whom we do not know. The news coverage is unbelievable. It seems as if we are living a nightmare....

Faith Interrupted: The Gift of Hope
http://laura-lewis.blogspot.com/2015/01/the-gift-of-new-year-has-begun.html
Friday, January 9, 2015. The Gift of Hope. A new year has begun. Is there a dream tucked in the pocket of your heart, a dream so fragile that you refrain from taking it out to share, even with the dearest of friends, because – what if the dream crashes? It’s easier if it falls apart inside, isn’t it? Keeping hope hidden protects our pride, doesn’t it? The public mess of a dream deferred is spirit crushing, yes, but isn’t it also demoralizing? What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up. To this very...

Saturday, October 27, 2012. Those moments come.Moments when we feel like we're holding onto hope by our fingernails.Do you pray or even cry to God out loud, "Just give me something.Give me something - ANY -THING - to assure my hope.right. now,"? Uh-huh. I know that prayer. I know that ache. I hate it. But in those moments - in that prayer - God has been so faithful. He can't not be faithful. Love this Jesus Life we share! WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT. THE WHEREABOUTS OF THE FOURTH MAN. It was quite a pers...

Faith Interrupted: April 2013

Tuesday, April 16, 2013. I woke with Boston on my mind; people whose lives are changed forever because of hate. What has our world become. Keeps repeating over and over in my heart. But why do I think it has become anything that it hasn't always been? The world has been broken and ruled by hate for a long, long time. The difference is now I am living in it. What will I do with my fear? How do people continue today? How can we live this way? What could you possibly say to this God? I began to read:. I sai...

Faith Interrupted: December 2014

Wednesday, December 10, 2014. To Santa or Not To Santa. A good friend of mine posted this article. On Facebook. It's a controversial topic no matter what. You can't make it controversial. It already is. Like this issue of breast or bottle, t.v or no t.v., inoculate or not, and do I dare mention discipline - yeah, probably not. Loving our children will always strike passionate chords. By God's grace we choose for them, and so they grow, and so do we. Do they wonder if there are some secret beliefs held by...

Thursday, April 24, 2014. Who Told You That You Were Naked. When Eve rocked the Garden of Eden in the image of God do you think she ever worried about the way she looked? Did she fix her hair, check her complexion, or try to hide her tummy? Was self-concern even a thought? Could it be that confidence was once natural to the image of God in woman, because self-absorption was not? Wasn't the lure of the original sin in Genesis 3 to consider self? What am I like then? We are no less guilty than Eve. We ...

Tuesday, January 22, 2013. Love in vivid color. Choices that infuse and shape your story. Aren't you grateful for the people in your life who consider you, not themselves, page after gift of life. The choice to pursue. The choice to retreat. The choice to abstain. The choice to imbibe. The choice to toil. The choice to rest. The choice to fast. The choice to dine. The choice to give. The choice to withhold. The choice to sit out. The choice to join in. The choice to speak up. The choice to remain.
