Love's Magnificent Obsession

  My Glass Wall – SHATTERED! Part 2 – My Questions I’m assuming you would probably like to know what has been so powerful to sway  my  30-year view of God.    Previously, I had been under the impression that questions were bad; that they revealed a lack of faith, especially if we questioned passages in the Bible. But the healthiest thing concerning all this that I have learned so far, is that it is ok to ask questions.    The world is questioning our faith and our Book.    Our questions are imperative. Sometimes, we blissfully ignore the critical thinkers because we are afraid our faith will crumble if a crack is found in any of our beliefs.    Maybe we have misplaced our trust in our doctrines instead of in God.    So far, this journey has released me to think hard thoughts and to humbly discuss with others without feeling the need to be right.    I no longer feel it is my duty to defend my set of beliefs, and e...

  My Glass Wall – SHATTERED! Part 1 – My Story Hello - I’m not sure what to call this or who my intended reader is.  I simply sat down to write a friend and many pages later found myself sharing from the depths of my heart.  It is out of that overflow and a rising passion that I have burned the midnight oil, refining and editing to share with you, whoever  you  may be.  Raw, vulnerable, and deeply passionate, there is a chance my words will come across as if directed at certain ones of you.  That is not my intent.  But at the same time, it is impossible to write without those of you in mind who have impacted me in some way or another during particular seasons of my life.  I only wish to share my heart and hope you will hear it.  I am grateful for all the parts and persons that have caused this profound impact. Not so long ago, I began rethinking my thinking and gave myself permission to ask the difficult questions about things I had alwa...

If you have stumbled upon my blog, Welcome! This is really not a blog though.  It's just a few posts about how God used a book - He Loves Me - to break through the veil of my misunderstanding.  He shattered the glass wall that I was trying so desperately to peer through. If you haven't read this book, do it now. You will experience freedom and peace and be baptized in the assurance of love and security that pours forth from the God who always has and always will stubbornly love you.  If you just got here and want to read about the mind jolt impact of that book on my life, read  “My Glass Wall - Shattered!”  If you want to jump ahead to where all this has brought me, read  “Focus Our Rethinking.”  If you are wondering why this matters so much to me or how any of this has made a difference in my life, read  “So What?”    In time, I hope to include more of the wrestling behind my questions.  Many authors have truly impacted me as I ca...
