Soul Shame Room
Jesus scorned shame. He hated it.
Because it hinders, muffles, binds, squeezes and keeps from truth and growth. It tried to take him but he didn’t let it. . . . .
Soul Trying

Trying or Training?
Inspired by John Ortberg’s The Life You’ve Always Wanted
“Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training.”
1 Cor. 9:25 . . . .
Soul Callings
My sister-in-law, Roxy Scott, preparing for her first grandchild, planned a baby shower for her daughter-in-law where she passed on some age-old, yet very relevant wisdom that her own life beautifully displays. Here’s a glimpse into what she had to say:
Ephesians 3:14-4:2 . . . .
Soul Suffering
I have 4 kids, all of them the age of Joseph (the 11th son of Jacob) in his prison years in Egypt. Now if I were Joseph’s mom, I think I’d feel pretty slighted. I’d probably be gaunt from prayers and worry and yearning. . . . .
Soul Courage
In the midst of travel for meetings, my mother-in-law’s sweet memorial service, family reunions and distance discussions & decisions, my recent journey group managed to finish our sessions. . . . .
Soul Launch
I wrote the poem below to my 91 year old mother-in-law 2 days before she was launched into eternity. She departed on Mother’s Day. . . . .
Soul Fear
“The fear of God is the beginning…”
Proverbs 1:7 Our little family had just moved to a foreign country that had recently experienced devastating loss. . . . .
Soul Spring
“…let us grow in every way into Him who is the head–Christ.”
Ephesians 4:15 . . . .
Soul Abiding
Jesus – right before the horror. . . . .
Soul Feelings
I tend to withdraw when I have a feeling I can’t seem to figure out. But I’m learning…
Those deep feelings we often sweep under the rug or minimize can be messengers trying to tell us something of what’s happening within. . . . .
