Danny and I went to small group recently. To be honest, I didn’t want to go. However, my husband is one of the most dedicated and persistent people I know. This is one of the most aggravating and reassuring characteristics about him. The purpose of this small group was to decide if we were going…
Today was unusual to say the least. John Stryder had a bad day. My son who is usually very jovial was miserable. It may have been because we stayed out late last night, but he still got up at the same time this morning. It may be because he’s teething. Regardless of the reason, today…
I want to begin by telling you that even after much research and meditation I am still not certain that I fully understand this commandment. Like many of theophilux’s readers I “enjoy” a life of over commitment. I have uttered more than once that I enjoy being busy and I have confessed that I do…
I recently read an old Jewish saying pertaining to the third commandment: “When God gave the third commandment, the whole world trembled.” The reasoning behind this saying pertains to the wording in Exodus 20:7 “for the LORD will not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain.” This leads the Jews to believe that…
The last article I wrote concerned a practical application of the first commandment, logically this article is about the second commandment. This commandment is found in Exodus 20:4-6 and Deuteronomy 5:8-10 and reads: “You shall not make for yourself a graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is…
Tonight I simply want to reflect on the first commandment. It is found in Exodus 20:2-3, and reads, “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. You shall have no other gods before Me.” There are several truths that God reveals before…
I need to process through the past week. Perhaps this story will inspire someone, or perhaps someone has been through something similar and can share some insight with me. Perhaps more prayers will go out as a result of this post. At any rate I am compelled to write maybe someone out there is compelled…
So this was prompted by facebook’s 25 random things about me. 1. I was born on 5/25 at 5:25. 2. When I was a kid my favorite toy was a stick. 3. I have been with my husband since my senior year in high school. He has been my constant throughout some very tough times. …
Its been a tough week! (don’t remind me its only Wednesday). This week my family has had to wait. Stryder has to have a test done. Part of me thinks that waiting for theis a terrible thing. It is through waiting that I realize how finite I really am. It is in those in between…
Theophilux has challenged my beliefs by helping me either strengthen or reconstruct them. In doing so it has made me aware of others belief systems. A term that has been tossed around from time to time on this site is “Pelagianism”. Unlike many on this site, I am not a seminary student, and this concept…
