Deeper Roots: October 2008
http://deeproots.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 18, 2008. I get so caught up in my tiny piece of the world. My minute sphere of influence consumes my focus. This little slice of the universe so overwhelms me. It is good to stop and take in the vastness of the universe and how little it is focused on me. It continues to plod along without consideration of my problem de jour or even what happens on this tiny little speck of a planet. Only a God of infinite proportions could place us in something so eminence and unmeasurable. If you can...

Deeper Roots: September 2008
http://deeproots.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 29, 2008. I let it happen too often. Everything on my schedule gets pushed end to end. There are no gaps, no time to breath. The day is all set then here comes that thing I really should be doing. However, because I am so over committed, it goes by without notice? Responsibilities are important but if there is no time to talk to my child or give a neighbor a hand or spend a few moments in prayer when a friend asks, perhaps there is something on my responsibly list that shouldn't be there.

Deeper Roots: November 2008
http://deeproots.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 10, 2008. Recently completed “Mere Christianity” a classic by C.S. Lewis. His writing still rattles around in my brain about a verse that has rattled around in my heart even longer. 8220;Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” Matthew 5:48. Lewis’ words took me to task. That is why He warned people to ‘count the cost’ before becoming Christians. ‘Make no mistake,’ He says, ‘if you let. Tuesday, November 04, 2008. Finally they can subtract one from the...

Deeper Roots: November 2009
http://deeproots.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 30, 2009. Is finding God a big secret? Christians constantly look for various activities hoping to find a path leading to Him. We fall prey to a misconception that God has hidden himself and we need some kind of treasure map to find Him. The quest becomes the map instead of the treasure itself. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Deeper Roots: Forgetting to Remember
http://deeproots.blogspot.com/2009/04/forgetting-to-remember.html
Friday, April 03, 2009. God blessed the seventh day and made it holy. Genesis 2:2 and Exodus 20:11. While creating an entire universe in the beginning of Genesis, the one thing deemed holy was the seventh day. Everything else on the list was good or even very good but because God rested from his work on the seventh day it became holy. Okay, so God makes everything and it is good but when He stops making, it is holy? Has this become the least observed commandment? Whether your Sabbath is Sunday, Saturday ...

Deeper Roots: Real Change
http://deeproots.blogspot.com/2010/01/real-change.html
Tuesday, January 05, 2010. Thanks for such useful information; by the way I am pastor at Covenant Church at LA. Our church is looking for church management software. So we can be in touch with our people anywhere, anytime. One of my co worker suggested church management software. He said they provide very good software for congregation along with great customer support. Any information about them will be very helpful to take decision. Thu May 17, 01:06:00 AM.

Deeper Roots: January 2009
http://deeproots.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 31, 2009. 1 February is really the longest month of the year because it never seems like spring will get here. 2 People no longer have a clue what to do at a 4-way stop or maybe I don't. 3 How do people with more then 3 kids do it? One is a full time job for 2 adults in our house. 4 From what I can tell, happiness depends on doing what you believe and believing what you do. 6 My desire for a new car is currently met head on by an even deeper desire of no car payments. 6 To my friends - ...

Deeper Roots: Ticket to Heaven
http://deeproots.blogspot.com/2008/12/ticket-to-heaven.html
Tuesday, December 16, 2008. I grew up in a small Baptist church. I had this view that when I became a Christian that it came with this all important "ticket to heaven". As long as I sat quietly and didn't get too dirty then someone would be by later to take me in. My Christian life was a waiting room. Do you realize what goes on in this head? How could I just sit and try to not to think and try not to do? Is that really what God wants? Just check back in now and then to see if anything had changed. N...

Deeper Roots: August 2008
http://deeproots.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 27, 2008. He's got a Rolling Pin. Okay The covered faces, knife, baseball bat and billy club did not really concern him. However, put a rolling pin in someone's hand and now you got his attention! Sunday, August 17, 2008. As we grow older there are certain events that demonstrate time is passing faster then one cares to admit. One of those moments took place for me a few days ago. What do you do when your child begins to beat you at the game you taught them? Are you kidding me? She star...

Deeper Roots: What do you need to say?
http://deeproots.blogspot.com/2008/01/what-do-you-need-to-say.html
Monday, January 12, 2009. What do you need to say? What needs to be said today? I have a few things:. 1 To my wife - I am so much better because of that moment it took to fall in love with you. 2 To my daughter - You amaze me everyday with what you are becoming. 3 To my dad - I learned as much watching what you did as everything you said. 4 To my mom - I miss you and I regret there were things I never said. 5 To my sister - Thank you for keeping me in your life even when I was too lazy to keep you in mine.
