The God Who Sees Me: May 2013

http://thegodwhoseesme.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html

This time of year brings a heightened awareness of changes in our lives - especially the losses. We're facing: Separation after graduation, friends moving across the country, new jobs. We're experiencing that here in our tight-knit little Family Talk Broadcasting department right now, as in the past few weeks alone we've said goodbye to three key staff members - each of whom is moving on to embrace new family commitments. And in one short week, I'll join that group. Song of Solomon, chapter 2:. 8220;Forg...

The God Who Sees Me: September 2012

http://thegodwhoseesme.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html

8220;What's So ‘BASIC’ About This Health Care? As the mother of four, I’ve personally had dozens of pre-and post-natal check-ups and hospital visits. Likewise, I’ve been to multiple doctors’ offices, ER facilities, labs and clinics with my children, and yes, even had to call 911 twice. In addition, my father is a retired orthopedic surgeon who was forced to relocate his practice and his family coast-to-coast because of skyrocketing medical malpractice insurance costs. Ironically, a 2008 study of women in...

http://standingstrongwithalexmcfarland.blogspot.com/2013/10/true-or-false-god-is-real-part-2.html

Monday, October 21, 2013. True or False: God is Real, Part 2. Every Effect Has a Cause. So the question up for debate isn’t whether the universe has an origin, it’s who—or what—prompted that beginning. Imagine you’re sitting in your living room, enjoying a peaceful afternoon while reading the paper. Suddenly, a baseball flies into the room, shattering your window. Obviously, your first question wouldn’t be, “How did that get here? 8221; It would be, in a highly bothered tone, “Who did this? Watch a sunse...

The God Who Sees Me: March 2013

http://thegodwhoseesme.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html

Cinderella.The Day After. I felt a bit like Cinderella the day after the ball. I had just returned from the annual National Religious Broadcaster's Convention at the delightful Opryland Hotel in Nashville where I was treated to three days of extravagance, excitement and warm, rich relationships with dear Christian friends. A definite highlight of the year. So I should've seen it coming. The world might call it boring. Tedious. Something to avoid at all costs. Love the One You're With. It's the juggle we ...

Standing Strong with Alex McFarland: August 2013

http://standingstrongwithalexmcfarland.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html

Monday, August 26, 2013. 8220;That’s true for you, but not for me… Truth means different things to different people… there’s no one absolute truth for everybody…”. Ever had your Christian perspective rebutted by statements like these? The nature or essence of truth is often described using terms like “absolute truth”. Or “ultimate truth,”. Or (the term preferred by America’s founding fathers), “self-evident truth.”. Many today judge the heights of arrogance to be not only that some one would claim to know.

I must constantly fight to restore a sense of balance and rest. To my soul. Let's face it: us multi-task...
