For the sake of the topic relating to Christianity, a journal is a chronological record of changes you experience to archive the work of God in your life. It can account for daily events, a notebook to record insights into Scripture, a list of prayer requests, theological musings, or venting frustrations, emotions, and pouring your...

Can You Be Lukewarm and a Christian?
This was probably one of the most important questions I have ever been asked. I have been to several churches in which the preaching was spot on, but the people who listened had blank stares with not an open Bible in sight. It is necessary that we view this in light of the Bible and... Continue Reading →
Are You Wearing Too Much Cologne?
Have you ever experienced being around a person that wears too much cologne or perfume? It is overpowering to say the least. Especially if you are in an enclosed space; you can smell it hours later, even penetrating the fibers of your clothes. It burns your nose, tears up your eyes, and it's all you... Continue Reading →
Water Your Own Grass
Even before I was a Christian, the following quote has been a constant reminder throughout the years of the value of contentment as well as the importance of putting forth good effort in relationships. Whether you are newlywed and very excited about celebrating life together or trudging through this prison we call Earth attached to... Continue Reading →
I See My Father in Me
https://youtu.be/wVRpRkletY0?si=xj5uuD6Hh9JXR42R Even though today it's been a year since my father passed away, I see him every day. I see him as I pass by the mirror when I wake up early in the morning wearing nothing but boxers. I see his mannerisms when I'm running on autopilot, doing the same things he probably would...

What You Could Have Been
'Somebody once told me the definition of hell: "On your last day on earth, the person you became will meet the person you could have become."'Anonymous When you read this statement what comes to mind? Maybe it's that you are not successful, or you haven't achieved goals that you set for yourself. Maybe you look... Continue Reading →
Why Am I Not Healed?
I recently answered a question posted to GotQuestions.org asking if the reason why people don't get healed is because they don't have enough faith. The Bible does not teach that if someone does not get physically healed from a sickness, it is because they did not have enough faith. While faith does play a role... Continue Reading →
The Blessing of Obedience is Freedom
It's amazing what you can learn from watching animals. Cats are extremely independent, stubborn creatures, aren't they? They do what they want, when they want, and how they want. I think God allows us to have cats so that we can see ourselves in them. I have a friend, Amy, who has two cats: Baxter... Continue Reading →
Spot On
Since putting all of my energy into the fair working the Answers in Genesis and Gideon's International booths, I have been trying to play "catch-up" with everything else that was put on hold that needed to be done at home. Things that need fixing, errands that need to be run, not to mention being ten... Continue Reading →
New Logo
For several months I have been wanting a logo for this website and didn't really know how to create one or where to go to purchase one. I wanted something that resonated with the theme of Pens and Wrenches, but also tied in with the mission and purpose of the site. Then I sat down... Continue Reading →
