Going all theological on ya again! At one point Jesus says that the one sin which will not be forgiven is the sin against the Holy Spirit. But no one seems to know what the sin against the Holy Spirit is. I would say that first of all, the sin must be one that is not repented of. If we ask for forgiveness, it is … Continue reading Sins against the Holy Spirit
This is my third installment of a series of posts taking another look at the end of the Book of Job. (The other two are here and here.) Today I’m going to look at Chapters 40 and 41 together. The LORD said to Job: 2 “Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct him? Let him who accuses God answer him!” 3 Then Job … Continue reading Book Of Job – Defense!
A couple of days ago, I started writing about the ending chapters of the Book of Job. As I said then, the end of Job has always bothered me. It doesn’t make sense that this man would lose everything have God show up and go, “who do you think you are?” and then Job would be satisfied and comforted. It doesn’t make sense for God … Continue reading Book of Job – Looking at our animal friends
For the 3 of you who do not know, The Pioneer Woman is Ree Drummond, a homeschooling mother of 4 who lives with her husband on a working ranch. She has an enormously popular blog, is a talented photographer, cook and writer. She is beautiful and stylish and has great taste.

A couple of years ago I started blogging about the Book of Job, thinking I would blog through the whole thing. Thankfully, God called me off that task because I now think that I was headed in the wrong direction. However, I have always been puzzled by God’s words to Job and Job’s response to them. They just never made sense to me. Job didn’t … Continue reading Book of Job: It’s a guessing game
Earlier this year I got a tattoo on my leg and it occurs to me that a lot of my family and friends from far away never saw it, so here it is! I like it. It’s bigger than I planned, but that’s a-ok with me. I had planned to get a tree tattoo for a while just because I liked it. Shortly before I … Continue reading My Cool Tattoo
I hope he doesn’t mind me doing this, but I have a stepson who is going through some stuff right now. And while on my walk yesterday, I felt God put this message on my heart for him. I’d like to post it here as well because I know that there are so many young men who need to hear it. I realize that young … Continue reading A Letter to a Young Black Man
This may sound odd coming from someone who writes and thinks about Christianity as much as I do, but I rarely read Christian books. I don’t even visit Christian sights and blogs anymore. Most of what’s out there is just the same thing over and over or people arguing with each other. So its not usually worth my time. The one current author who is, … Continue reading Beautiful Outlaw by John Eldredge
Here’s my challenge to those Christians who promote a traditional view of women’s submission: If you would please point me to a place in human history when humanity has done a good job with women’s submission, then I can take what you have to say seriously. But no such example exists. Never has, never will as long as we’re trying to do it the same … Continue reading Godly Submission
If you look at the little bitty letters across the very top of this page to the left, you will see that there is a new page called “Ask the Crazy Christian Lady a Question”. You should go click it. And if you haven’t already, you need to buy a copy of my book. So I can upgrade the website and fix the little bitty … Continue reading An exciting new feature here at TUDW . . . TUSDW? TUSDWNWRLD?
