A Really Full Life
exploring the divine as it touches our everyday lives
Ministry Adventure in Ghana
We’re in Northern Ghana visiting small churches to teach the people and encourage the pastors. Many Bible School students have returned to their home villages to serve as Bible teachers and pastors. A wonderful fulfillment of the original hope for the ministry here in Ghana. We invite you to follow along for the next 4 weeks as we explore what God has been doing in ‘the uttermost parts of the earth’.
“Wisdom is divinely worked in those, and only those, who apply themselves to God’s revelation.” J. I. Packer, Knowing God I often want to be holier than I am. I want to be wiser, kinder, and more Christlike, but I want it to happen without having to make any real effort myself. Can’t it be like my salvation? I believe and receive. Can’t it be like that? God says no. We reap… Read More
If I could keep time in a bottle. If only, right. But the question still remains, would I use it wisely? I’d forgotten how much I liked Jim Croce’s Time in a Bottle. The ‘story’ behind the classic folk hit is that Croce wrote it in 1970 after his wife Ingrid told him she was pregnant. She had a boy they named Adrian. The song became a #1 hit shortly after Croce… Read More
Are two heads better than one? Can it be too much of a good thing? Thursday afternoon I saw an email from WordPress announcing that Getty Images had added an embed feature and made it available free to non-commercial users. So I took the embed feature for a test drive and wrote a post featuring an embedded Getty Image of giraffes. http://kellyjgrace.com/2014/03/06/3826/ I need to practice with the search features because there… Read More
It’s Friday and I’m done. I don’t mean I’ve finished all the things I wanted or needed to finish this week. I just mean I’m done trying. You probably noticed that I was in Africa. For 6 weeks. I’m not saying you cared, just that you noticed. Didn’t you? Last week I was glad to return home and see my Mom and our kids, but this week I’ve been in the Twilight… Read More
Today let’s talk about repentance~ Repentance is the first step toward a relationship with God. You don’t have to read very far in the Gospels to find out about repentance. It’s the message preached by John the Baptist and when John was throw in prison Jesus came and preached the same message Himself. It must be pretty important. What is it? Repentance is a change of mind. It happens when our thoughts… Read More
. . . the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains and broke in pieces the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. And after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. And after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire the sound of a low whisper. And… Read More

What delights you and draws you in? What are the things in life that take your breath away? Beauty certainly invites us – beckons us… But even the most gorgeous moment can leave us wanting. Often, just as we’ve stumbled upon ‘perfection’ and ‘ultimate happiness’, something intrudes upon it. C.S. Lewis describes our hunger for beauty in his book The Weight of Glory: “We…
I’m dreaming of a really lush vegetable garden for my backyard this summer. Today my daughter, the Kitchen Designer, is coming over to design some raised planters for my backyard. The girl works miracles with a tape measure, pencil, and paper. She says she’s leaving the dirty work for her Mom. Just beyond these stone walls there are two large rectangular plots in a warm sunny southern location. The trees and roses… Read More
