Believe It!
“Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die.” I have read Romans chapter five hundreds, if not thousands of times. This morning verse 7 stood out, glaring at me with the fact that our selectivity of scripture likely leads to a life allowing…

Boldly Brewed
We are out of synch at the Mullins house. Somehow after many years of guarding timing, we have managed to need coffee on the odd weeks when it is not on sale. Troubling! “See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what…

I AM’s Kid
I found myself in a discussion with our son the other day where in the heat of the moment I said, “you are a ‘Mullins’ and we give every ounce of effort to do our best.” Fail! Since that discussion, moments of frustration and allowing myself to become angry where grace and mercy were needed,…

Do your expectations match the ability of the Giver?
“Ask boldly, believingly, without a second thought. People who “worry their prayers” are like wind-whipped waves.” James 1:6 MSG I must admit that I often limit a limitless God by bowing before him and meekly asking for minimal things and then weakly expecting.

Another Day
I’ve always been an early riser. And that does not mean that I don’t sleep in. I often get up between 3:30 am and 4:00 am and read. Pray. Drink coffee. Ponder. Write. Years ago I read a life impacting statement addressed to people like me who ‘are not good sleepers.’ What does that mean? …

Preemptively Pardoned
How did you respond when hearing the news that President Biden had preemptively pardoned many people, including his own family, that he felt might be “targeted” for prosecution by the incoming administration and political party in power? My emotions ran white hot from anger and frustration to indignation and a desire to make sure my…

Radically Grateful
I have a phobia of my zipper being down. I don’t know why and surmise this is the result of some embarrassment as a child that caused a trauma that now lives within me as a silly, unsurrendered fear. As I was coming out of the Men’s Bathroom one Sunday morning, I was doing my…
