When the Coffee Machine is Just a Human by Andrew Pilsch
Pilsch shares about the qualitative difference of coffee made by humans as opposed to the instant pod one cup. I agree, coffee made by humans tastes better.
Re(de)fining Purpose by Carlie Galla
Carlie calls readers to look beyond goals, careers, and dreams to start as the question of character. Many of us need a little more focus on who we are becoming as opposed to where we are going.
Tuesday Reflection: Who Knows How to Listen? by Seth Haines
Last week, I read Haines’ book Coming Clean, and I highly recommend it. His short reflection invites to experience silence so that we can hear from God.
One Day I Stepped into a Puddle and Disappeared by Becky Martin
Becky just started blogging, and her first posts have been fantastic. She wrote a remarkable post about motherhood and finding her identity in Christ.
Our Prayer Instincts are Backwards by Andrew Wilson
Wilson makes a phenomenal observation on prayer:
The topsy-turvy order of the Lord’s Prayer is one reason it is so remarkable. Jesus’ disciples knew the Scriptures, so they probably already knew how to ask for rescue, forgiveness, necessities, and God’s action in the world. What they didn’t know, and what Jesus wanted to make sure they never forgot, is that prayer is not intended to move from action to relationship.
