Joy in the Margins: November 2011
http://joyinthemargins.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Joy in the Margins. Learning to depend on Christ in the midst of work, family, and loving the poor. Wednesday, November 30, 2011. Learning to See the Big Picture. A single mom with three children and a two-week old grandbaby in the house came to see me recently. She was two months behind on rent and certain to face eviction. She had no job, no income, and nothing in the hopper on the jobs front. Understandably, all she was concerned about was getting her rent paid. She began to weep and sob with thanks a...

Joy in the Margins. Learning to depend on Christ in the midst of work, family, and loving the poor. Thursday, December 15, 2011. Strength for the Weary. God in His goodness brought a Scripture to mind that really turned the tables for me – 1 Samuel 30:6 “And David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because all the people were bitter in soul, each for his sons and daughters. But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God. Wednesday, December 07, 2011. Strength for the Weary.

Joy in the Margins. Learning to depend on Christ in the midst of work, family, and loving the poor. Wednesday, June 29, 2011. A rhythm of life. 8220;In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength,but you would have none of it. . You said, ‘No, we will flee on horses.’ Therefore you will flee! You said, ‘We will ride off on swift horses.’ Therefore your pursuers will be swift! Isaiah 30:15-16, TNIV. Rhythms of retreat – one morning a week, I need to have e...

Joy in the Margins: How to live a faith-filled life
http://joyinthemargins.blogspot.com/2012/07/how-to-live-faith-filled-life.html
Joy in the Margins. Learning to depend on Christ in the midst of work, family, and loving the poor. Wednesday, July 18, 2012. How to live a faith-filled life. What does it mean to live by faith? The idea of having faith can be so nebulous, can't it? How can I live out Hebrews 11:1-6 in a meaningful way? I think God gave me some help in the Psalms. But what practices could help me move in that direction? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). How to live a faith-filled life. A Story to be Lived.

Joy in the Margins: April 2012

Joy in the Margins. Learning to depend on Christ in the midst of work, family, and loving the poor. Monday, April 23, 2012. What Jesus prays for us. When Eliza won’t share her bike with her sister, I pray. I don’t pray that Psalter will get a newer bike or that Eliza will be nice. I pray that Eliza will have a heart that is generous. This week in church, one of the verses we looked at was Hebrews 7:25, which says, “Therefore [Jesus] is able to save completely. What does it mean that He is praying for me?

Joy in the Margins. Learning to depend on Christ in the midst of work, family, and loving the poor. Tuesday, May 29, 2012. Not my most encouraging post. After 10 years of living here, you would think that Diane and I would have a better handle on how to respond to crazy situations in Glenwood. But today was another test, and we left feeling helpless and confused.
