Reader participation

So I’ve been blogging since January 1 this year — a time period of two months, to be precise. Since starting, I’ve written forty posts, there have been seventy-two comments on the site, and Akismet has caught 57 spam comments already. (Woo hoo!) I have a lot of great ideas floating around for Finite Calls [...]

I’m really happy right now

I’m feeling really happy right now. I hope you’re filled with joy and peace as you read this post. Sometimes we just need to take a moment to realize our blessings and the awesome majesty of a ray of sunshine, a drop of rain, a nice meal. I was born an optimist, descended into a [...]

“Teh hotness” — being a pregnant teen

Am I the only one who finds this scenario deeply disturbing? Not the fact that teens are having sex — no news there — but the fact that motherhood, pregnancy, and the loss of virginity at age 14 are so cavalierly mishandled and morally dismissed in Western society. Shouldn’t we be celebrating these aspects of [...]

Hunger is the best sauce

You know the saying about how hunger is the best sauce? It’s true. I’m telling you — a simple bite of fruit or a piece of cheese or a hunk of bread after coming out of a fast will taste like the most delectable morsel ever. And so it is with our relationship with God [...]

Paintings & banners

When I first started seeing creative artistic expression (besides just just usual music band) as part of worship services in churches, I was amazed. In the past few years, I’ve seen people dancing, people waving flags and banners, people painting (!) live on stage during the worship time, and people receiving prophetic songs from heaven [...]

Getting back into the swing of things

I attended a conference for three nights last week and was gone over the weekend to a friend’s wedding, so I feel like I’ve been out of the loop. But I’m getting back into the swing of things now, and I have a lot of stuff that’s been bouncing around my brain that I’m excited [...]

Blessings for Valentine’s Day

May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you this day and fill you with the Father’s Love. May you experience divine revelation of His joy, His peace, and His presence as you go about your day. As Patricia King always loves to say, and this is a prophetic decree: God loves you with an everlasting love [...]

Just added a new goodies page

I’ll try very hard not to introduce any cheesy commercial elements into this blog, but I have intended from the beginning to offer some links to books, CDs, and DVDs that have greatly blessed me over the years. These are things I personally have discovered and enjoy, and I hope you will enjoy them as [...]

Life is like a game of chess, but not in the way you think

A thought occurred to me recently. My brain doesn’t operate in similes very often, so it’s always nice to take a train of thought and run with it. Life is like a game of chess, only one where the rules of the game are in constant flux, the pieces keep changing in appearance, and the [...]

Occasionally, it’s boring

I don’t have anything very interesting to talk about right now. I’ve been resting and trying to recover from a flu for the past couple of days. You know, in past times I would always get mad when I would get sick — such an imposition on my valuable time! — but sometimes we need [...]
