  • Why Trust God
    Posted on Wednesday, February 2nd, 2022 | Filed under Blog | Tagged: Borrowed Lives, Carol McClain, how to trust God, Isaiah 40:31, Isaiah 55:12, Job 8:21, Psalm 121: 7-8, Trusting God is like riding a roller coaster, Why trust God, Writing Redemption

    @carol_mcclain Why do I love roller coasters?   They’re safe. They’re designed by engineers who know (not people like me who would have a hard time engineering a box). They’re tested so no one would be hurt. Thousands of people have ridden the ride before me. They take me places I could never go on …[ read more ]

    @carol_mcclain [3] And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. [4] Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18: 3-4 Ever since my teen years–eons ago–I’ve …[ read more ]

    @carol_mcclain A lifetime fled without my ever having glimpsed a comet. In 1973 Kahoutec visited our skies when I lived in New York City. With the city’s manmade display of lights, my chances of seeing Kahoutec were non-existent. Actually, the city had little to do with my ability to witness the comet. I was too …[ read more ]

    @carol_mcclain Isaiah 61:3 “(God will) provide for those who grieve in Zion–to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display …[ read more ]

    @carol_mcclain My grandkids drive me crazy. For the youngest, my Bird, ketchup is the major food group. My middle one–my favorite grandson (yes, only grandson)–only chicken fingers will do. The eldest has a broader palate, thankfully. When they come to visit, and I set something that is not ketchup or chicken fingers before them, they aren’t …[ read more ]

    • What to you gain by being meek?

      Carol McClain Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. (Matt. 5: 5) At one time, I considered myself meek. I think I equated my yielding, ready-to-give-in nature as meek. As of late, I've seen all the places I've been arrogant: how I knew best how to write or edit or eat or exercise. (We won't get into politics). Wishy-washy isn't meek. As a matter of fact, two of the greatest men in the Bible are the only two who to whom this trait had been given. The first was Moses. Yep. You read that right. The man who confronted… ...[ full story ]
