The ionosphere is a part of earth's upper atmosphere where atoms, when subjected to the environment, lose electrons.  Atoms, usually neutral in charge, then become either positively or negatively charged depending on which electron they lose.  What a wonderful symbolic representation for Christians that God built into His universe.  Like atoms, we blissfully go about…

Human nature compels us to gravitate towards the known. The unknown may hold wonderful possibilities, but it can also be a threat to the “safe place” we all hold so dear. Fiercely clinging to your comfort zone may be the right choice if your comfort zone is the right place for you in your life,…

We’re in the process of building bookshelves right now.  After we installed a particular piece, I stood back to look at the progress of the overall unit.  From one vantage point, everything looked fine.  But, just a few steps to the left and a minor change in perspective, I wasn’t sure if something was out…

6 And the Lord said, “Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them.  Genesis 11:6

The teacher never talks during a test.  Once the exam begins, the teacher patiently waits in silence for the students to show what they know as they complete their tests.  God tests us at various times in our life.  It's during those times that He wants to see what we've learned and how we apply…
