“How precious to me are your thoughts,
O God!
How vast is the sum of them!”
(Psalm 139:17 NIV)
What is
the biggest thing you can think of? Now push the limits of your mind and think
bigger! God is even beyond that! He created infinity!

“Then I saw three evil spirits that
looked like frogs;
they came out of the mouth of the
dragon,
out of the mouth of the beast,
and out of the mouth of the false
prophet.”
(Revelation 16:13 NIV)
I walked
to the top of our driveway to get the mail. There was a loud croaking coming
from the water-filled ditch across the road. I stealthily crossed the street to
investigate. Frogs croaked from several directions, but I couldn’t see them.
Sudden silence. They sensed a predator nearby. I poked a stick into the long,
small pond of wet leaves, hoping to spot a frog jump to safety. No response.

“Let
the redeemed of the Lord tell their story –
those
He redeemed from the hand of the foe.”
(Psalm
107:2 NIV)
The
parking lot was dark and deserted. I grabbed my music bag from the back seat of
my car and headed for the church building. A nicely-dressed, tall, young man wearing
a backpack crossed the street in front of me. We glanced at each other and
slightly nodded. I hurried across the street, then glimpsed over my shoulder to
see which direction he was headed. I thought, “What’s your story?”

“It is for freedom that Christ has set
us free.
Stand firm, then, and do not let
yourselves
be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.”
(Galatians 5:1 NIV)
A new year
was right around the corner. It was time to take the quiz to discover what my
word for the year would be. This past year my word was Redeemed. I was
encouraged to see that word on my desk and know Jesus had purchased me and rescued
me from myself. What could I look forward to in the new year?

“Then the angel showed me the river of
the water of life,
as clear as crystal,
flowing from the throne of God and of
the Lamb.”
(Revelation 22:1 NIV)
I have
always been interested in time travel and the concept of space and my place in
it. Ann Tatlock’s book, “Once Beyond a Time” reveals a unique twist on time
from God’s perspective.

“Glorify the Lord with me;
let us exalt his name together.”
(Psalm 34:3 NIV)
I sign the
title page of my God Sightings books with “Soli Deo Gloria.” It is a
Latin term for Glory to God alone, and has been used by artists like
Johann Sebastian Bach and Georg Frideric Handel to signify that their works were
for the sake of praising God.

“Rejoice in the Lord and be glad, you
righteous;
sing, all you who are upright in heart!”
(Psalm 32:11 NIV)
She caught
me crying in the examination room. I was there for a routine checkup when
suddenly the dam broke loose and all my anxieties spilled out onto the floor.
After several probing questions, the nurse practitioner determined I needed
help. “You have GAD,” she told me.
