A big responsiblity

As I mentioned in "A new endeavor" I'm seriously thinking of writing a book. Maybe even making writing my second job. We'll see.

I felt like this book should be a devotional...but not just any devotional. I  want the audience for this book to be Christian young people who are working in the secular work environment. Why?

Well, as someone who works in this kind of environment, I know how hard it can be. I get discouraged and I wonder if there is anyone else out there who feels the same way.

Now, there are a lot of very difficult jobs for Christians out there. Dancers have to do choreographies they don't agree with,  teachers can't talk about Jesus or they lose their job, scientists can't get published if they believe in a 6 day Creation... the list goes on.

I don't take this lightly. I strongly believe this is where God is taking me, whether I become an author or not. It's one step at a time always following God's path and trusting if I make a wrong turn, He'll gently guide me back.

    That's a great idea for a book!

Why "Choreographer's Cuisine?"

Why dance?  Dance is everywhere in Scripture. In Psalms 150 it tells us to "...Praise Him with harp and lyre. Praise Him with timbrel and dancing..." For me dance has always been a very important part of life. I believe dance was engrained into my very being by my grandfather, who, I'm told danced me for hours around the living room when I was a baby trying to get me to sleep. (I'm told I was a hard baby to get to sleep!) As I have gotten older dance has inspired me and has become a way of expression when I can't find the words. I have also tried other art forms, but dance and poetry are my two favourites. As I am learning the art of choreography this year from my bosses, I am recognizing that my life has been choreographed by the Great Choreographer, Jesus Christ. Every person who has come into my life, every situation I have found myself in, even my trauma, was choreographed into my life. And He's not done choreographing yet!! I've been told  by a

A blurry photo

Have you ever really looked at a blurry photo? If you're anything like me, looking at a blurry photo makes you want to quickly look away. Or better yet get rid of it!! I was going through my store of photos on my phone the other day. and came across one of my cat, similar to the one above, that was out of focus (not quite as much as the one above though!) You could tell what it was, but some of the details were missing. It all of a sudden hit me that this is how we see God. When we first accept Him, our vision of Him is blurry. We can tell Who He is, but the details are missing. We accept the truth of His existence, love, power, kindness and holiness; but we see each one of these things dimly at first. Sometimes when we're looking at God and the things He is doing we see so out of focus that we just want to give up and turn away like when we are looking at a blurry photo. As Christians, we are told to seek the Lord with all our hearts and search for Him as we wo

Fact or fantasy - how big was it?

Have you ever seen children's Bibles? The picture of Noah's ark usually looks something like this. There are a few common misinterpretations dealing with the account of the worldwide flood. T o start with, depending on the picture you look at it either has the animals sticking their heads out a window, sticking their heads out the roof or lounging on the deck.  I really doubt they would have done any of those things if it was very stormy which the Bible says it was. If the ark looked like that, how in the world did Noah get ALL the animals in? Well, here's some food for thought around the Noah's Ark issue based on Scripture and some things we learned at the Creation Conference and Ark Encounter in Kentucky.  In Genesis Chapter 5 verses 15 and 16 God gives Noah very detailed descriptions on what the ark is to look like. "This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be three hundred cubits (1 and a half football fields) long, fifty cubits wide and thirt
