moreBeing Holy means to imitate Your teacher….
On Friday, September 24 th, 2004I don’t make myself positionally holy. Christ did that at the cross. But to be practically holy, I do have to do something….I have to imitate the Maker’s model. Holiness is not a “do-it-yourself” project. Holiness is a “personal-trainer, apprenticeship program”. I can actually be what my Teacher is. He doesn’t abandon me, give-up ...

Made Holy by God…
On Monday, September 20 th, 2004Being holy means to be stamped with insignia, “Made by God”. Being holy means to let God do his job in me–not me trying to do the job. The Lord has made the game plan pretty straight forward: “I the Lord am holy — I who make you holy” ~Lev. 21:8 I can’t make myself into a holy Mama for these children. It is the work of God. It is He w...

Lord of the Harvest
On Monday, September 20 th, 2004I was born in wheat harvest. As the wagons were filling with the bread from earth, I, for the first time was filling my virgin lungs with air from earth. For thirty-some years, my birthday cake has bounced across the fields on the lap of someone in the front seat of a pick-up, out to the wheat fields, and the men have crawled, dusty faces with white smiles, out of tractors and ...

If you can’t do it in Holiness….
On Wednesday, September 15 th, 2004If you can’t do it in holiness……if you can’t do it with a smile on your face…..if you can’t do it with a gentle tone…..don’t do it. Simple. (well, sort of.) God said, “….but according to the Holy One who has called you, you also become holy in all conduct”. 1 Peter 1:15 If I can’t ask with a Gentle Tone a...

What I want
On Saturday, September 11 th, 2004I hardly dare to give birth to these questions…..they are safer living deep inside of me…do I dare labor them into existence outside of me? Is “I want”of the flesh? Is “I want” an idol? Is there nothing spiritual when my soul whispers “I want”? Is “I want” completely devoid of holiness? What do I want? ~I want some simple peace and quiet ~I want a tr...

Flesh over Christ in this Homeschooling family
On Thursday, September 09 th, 2004God is not a part of my life. I am to be part of His. Like a cell imbedded within His being. A fibre in the muscle of His body. Can I grasp the reality of being one Christian in a body of believers who are the physical organism of Divinity on this spinning orb? Holiness operating through flesh. God animated through skin. Through my flesh and skin. This is not phraseology. It is...
