Ill Fitting Among Peers

…but if you’re God, and you’re good as everyone says. How come my life isn’t any better? The story of the calling of Matthew (Tax Collector) is familiar to most of us. It’s the description we all want to share in because it’s a personal calling; with a name attached. After all, we all believe this is a grand stroke of grace which is expressed for the most despised of all the peoples. Maybe that’s…

State of Balance

Judy House Ministry It’s exciting to be in the business of transitioning lives and to be able to share the work of service you as a reader offer us as encouragement. Our latest update for the month includes how we became involved in the lives of 5 men who resided with us temporarily. As they’ve moved on in transition, our connection with them remains open. We found that by extending hospitality…

Hardest Question

We tend to shape our world much the same way it shapes us. Influential cycles start with what is taught behind the closed doors of everyday life. Even though homeless people are judged according to social standards, in general, none of us easily see the depth of social issue. It’s certainly easier to see the personal weakness of the individual to clarify our own strengths. And while it’s…

Nothing Ventured, Nothing…

Picture that you’re in perfect concentration – for once. All of your energy is focused on the one task at hand. You have no other activities ahead but this one in front of you. All of a sudden your phone rings. Startled… you immediately become stressed, you become frustrated, or you become angry. These sorts of distractions of the world we feel, are not cooperating with us. In fact, they’re…

Describe Your Type

Suppose you had to fill out a questionnaire to describe your face. How well would you do? Surely, if you had to describe someone else’s it’d be easier than your own. We tend to find it easier describing how we feel more than how we actually look; or we may not have ever examined ourselves long enough to be able to do that. What if the next question was to describe your relationship with…

The One Choice that Leads to Peace

By Shana Schutte Each morning, I wake and head down to the kitchen where I make a pot of java. And each morning, I read the quote on the spoon rest next to the coffee pot: “Trust Me. I will provide all your needs.” As my eyes fell on these words today, I was reminded that for the believer in Christ who wants to experience the fullness of the peace God promises, there are really only two choices:…

Clearly Defined

Now that Christmas is over, that slow, cold return to overwhelming schedules and over-extended finances begins. Who’s not excited about this? Mentally and physically exhausted. You and I are already looking ahead to a bit of marginal room to get a sense of peace… and fun. With each of us equally in subjection to time, our calendars often have more control over our schedules, decisions, and lives…

Ordinary Matters

Exhilarating turbulence met the family unexpectedly while returning from their tropical vacation this past week. Their desire to flee from the trappings of the holiday stress to buy lavish gifts to the dozens of friends throughout the surroundings of the country club estates, led them away… really. If your life is anything like mine, there’s probably no Hollywood lights or headline grabbing…

Point of Discovery

Seldom do we ever act alone. We’re a relational people and our decisions affect others. Therefore we don’t behave our way into a “declared relationship” itself, but it’s with conversation starters. People know that if they’re conditioning the audience for a particular thought, they can gain interest and sell their idea. Call it marketing, influencing, or selling snake oil. For hundreds of…

Failures of Imagination

The size of the prison population reflects the conditional probability of each of the events leading up to incarceration.[1] Often, policies are crafted in response to rising violent and property crime rates and growing concerns about public safety. The best available research however, indicates that longer prison terms have little or no effect on recidivism and crime rates, and that recent…
