Why I Run and Why I Don’t

Posted on January 27, 2013 by eig

The title of the post is not a contradiction. I do run, an average of 3.8 miles six days a week. People that know me and don’t know me should know why I run and what are the reasons I don’t run (wrong reasons for me). Not that it matters to most, but it’s now […]

The Symbolic Use of Numbers – 2012 Gone! 2013 Here!

Posted on January 1, 2013 by eig

Numbers have always had meaning for humanity. Ever since creation numbers have had meaning. When God created light He said: “And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.” (Genesis 1:5) It also says: “And God said, Let there be lights in […]

We don’t deserve it! It’s grace!

Posted on December 28, 2012 by eig

Our little boy likes to say “I don’t deserve it,” when he gets something like a treat. He started saying this especially when he has had a bad day. At one point he said he didn’t deserve to be alive. I reminded him that none of us do. At one time I pointed to Him […]

“Santa Christ”

Posted on December 24, 2012 by eig

“For yet others, this is the time of year for the mystical Jesus who, like Santa Claus, is important because of the good experiences we have, irrespective of the details of historical reality. As long as we have the experiences, all is well. But Jesus is not to be identified with Santa Claus; worldly thinking—however […]

Here is one of my poems from Poems For The JourneyWill Justice Come?by eigIsaiah 32:1-8 A man in ragged clothes is in a corner standingBegging for money for a piece of breadAnother comes out of a restaurant laughingPassing by him; he has been well fed A woman sobs seating in her living roomBruses on her […]

Thanks-Giving

Posted on November 22, 2012 by eig

This is my traditional post on Thanksgiving. We all understand it’s the time of year where collectively as a nation and as families we gather around to share the blessings God has bestowed upon us. We understand that thankfulness to God is not once a year either. Everyday, we give thanks to God for we […]

I believe in Jesus’s Miracles

Posted on October 16, 2012 by eig

I have been reading the Gospel of Matthew and came to the passage in chapter 8 where he heals a man with leprosy by touching him, heals a centurion’s servant by just saying the word, heals Peter’s mother-in-law and performs other miracles. The following passage drew my attention as well: “When evening came, many who were […]

His Story, My Story (Not My Story!)

Posted on October 1, 2012 by eig

I have been a believer in Christ for almost thirty years now.  The road hasn’t been easy. But looking back  the path I’ve taken, I realize (yes, this late) that “my” life hasn’t gone as I have planned it. And that’s the problem.  As a young Christian, I thought I knew what God wanted for […]
