That third one really caught me attention. Why would Jesus write his name on the individual pillars? While I was thinking about this, God showed me an image from the 1999 Pixar movie Toy Story 2, where the underside of Sheriff Woody's boot is seen and we could read the name "Andy" written on it. That name indicated belonging. Andy was his kid. He belonged to Andy, and Andy was letting the whole world know it. Woody belonged to Andy and we belong to Christ Jesus.

If you are absolutely overwhelmed with life, remember that El Shaddai, the provider, is also God of the Details.

Maybe you are in despair right now. Find a crying place. Find a place to get alone with God and cry it out... then find someone to sit with.

If God is telling you to do something, my challenge to you is simple. Stop protesting, step out in faith, and just do it. No Excuses.

When Jesus says "I am the bread of life," a Russian really pricks up their ears. That statement has MEANING for them.

Maybe you have felt stuck like this for YEARS. But what if it's a divine set-up?

Is it a problem for us to solve, or is it a God-problem-- like making the crops come up at the proper time?

My current problem I was planning for was not actually my problem to solve. It was God's problem. In fact, it didn't even concern me.

Maybe, like Elijah, you are sitting alone in the darkness...

Perhaps they thought Jesus would just pray a prayer when the messenger found him, and Lazarus would be healed. Except he didn't.

God took me on a significant detour last year... But it wasn't just a detour; it was a side quest. A holy mission.

God was telling me that he was cooking something up for me-- something good!-- but it wasn't done cooking yet. More time was required...

"Why am I here?" It's a loaded question. We want to know our purpose, but deep inside, we are really asking why we are in this situation.

Be on the lookout for fellow smokers-- those plucked from the fire and still smelling of smoke. Offer a helping hand. Or a hug. Or whatever.

Sometimes God has us on a mission... and it's invigorating! But there are other times when God calls us away... to a Holy Pause.

God doesn't tell us everything. He doesn't show us all the pieces, because HE is putting the puzzle together, not us. He wants us to trust.

God showed me a large cookie sheet with a single hand-breaded piece of chicken on it. It was tiny-- about the same size as a chicken wing...

In my dream, I was in a hospital corridor, and was returning to see my friends when I came across a hole cut in the wall...

As I was praying, I saw hands washing a green pot. All the nasty dried food inside was being cleaned out...

God was about to teach Moses about God's own character, by means of sharing His True Name.
