Artificial Intelligence in My Fallen World

Does the artificial intelligence algorithm that is controlling what you watch, read, and do have you stressed out? Mine sometimes does. I have been doing so much research on ChatGPT lately that I feel overwhelmed by the future and how artificial…

A Servant’s Heart

Y’all! So I’m just scrolling through my Facebook feed tonight and BOOM. When you talk about Jesus a lot on social media, the…

Saw this tweet today and it is so me. I have a good friend who tells me I sell myself short professionally. I do have a varied skill set when it comes to educational technology —…

Worthy of My Name?

In the evening, I continually read through my Bible chronologically and also do a small devotional. Tonight, my reading and my devotional were both about Daniel. Anytime that kind of “coincidence” happens, I tend to wonder what it is God is trying to tell me (even more than usual). Daniel 5:12…

Fearing a Holy God

There are many places in the Bible that call us to fear the Lord. In Psalm 111:10 it states, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise.” But why does God call us to fear and why would we fear him?

Modeling Christ to my Children

Jacob was led by his mother, Rebekah, to sin. It wasn’t Jacob’s idea to pretend to be Esau, his own mother made it easy to sin and trick Abraham. She came up with the plan, she cooked the food, she conjured up the way to make Abraham think Jacob’s skin was Esau’s, she set…

God Uses Us In Spite of Us

How many of you have been like me and when you read the story of Lot entertaining the male angels in his city, you get both stuck and mad that he’s willing to offer his virgin daughters for sex in order to protect the “men” (Genesis 19:8). I’ve read and listened to multiple…
