Irony

“The irony is that while God doesn’t need us but still wants us, we desperately need God but don’t really want Him most of the time.”

— Francis Chan

Ow! This quote hurts, doesn’t it? To be totally honest, there are many times I’d rather be doing something fun, creative, or inspiring–before, or instead of, time with God. Even though I know I need Him, I often choose to walk my own path and live my own life.

Lord, keep me longing to be in your presence, to spend time knowing you and worshipping you.

After raising a family and then teaching for over 20 years, I retired from full-time work. Now I spend time with family, tap dance, take long walks in nature, read, and write. I have published two stories in Chicken Soup for the Soul books and over a dozen devotions. My current goal is to publish a book of meditations over the gospels and to share my devotional writing on my blog. I hope you enjoy and are inspired.
