- [sludge](https://timswords.com/sludge/) - Maybe worship songs should come with a warning about the side effects. Something like “prolonged exposure will cause you to repeat phrases 10 times in everyday conversation,” or “do not operate heavy machinery while singing.” For some people, it may be time to step away from worship CDs for a while. But there’s another side effect that
- [the day i started sinking](https://timswords.com/the-day-i-started-sinking/) - About six years ago, I was given the opportunity of a lifetime, the opportunity to write a book. Now some people fight and clamor and sell the first-born to get noticed by a publisher, but my opportunity came through a very generous person. He was asked to write a book and he asked me to
- [scars](https://timswords.com/scars/) - Jesus restores what is broken. And even though we may have scars, the scars are not our entire story, merely part of our story. Easter isn’t just about the cross, it’s about the empty tomb. When Jesus appeared to the disciples after the resurrection, the wounds were still on His hands and His side. He
- [lowercase](https://timswords.com/lowercase/) - if you’ve read this blog for a while, you may have one nagging question. “why do you write in lowercase?” after all, my profession is editing. shouldn’t the use of all lowercase letters go against every fiber of my being? well, to be perfectly honest, not really. in fact, if anything, it frees me up.
- [enough](https://timswords.com/enough/) - i used to walk on the treadmill every day. a few years ago, i realized that my old, reliable metabolism had decided to rebel against me like an angst-ridden teen in a john hughes film. so every day, i would get on the treadmill and walk for about 30 minutes. i hate exercise. hate it.
- [sanctuary](https://timswords.com/sanctuary/) - holidays. vacations. weekend getaways. everyone craves a break from the normal and frantic pace of life. that’s why verses like Psalm 46:10, in which God says: “Be still and know that I am God,” seem so refreshing. almost like a day at the beach, a hike through the woods, a nap on a Sunday afternoon
- [bigger](https://timswords.com/bigger/) - “Aslan,” said Lucy, “you’re bigger.” “That is because you are older, little one,” answered he. “Not because you are?” “I am not. But every year you grow, you will find me bigger.” —from Prince Caspian by C.S. Lewis When I was growing up in the church, my God could fit in my Bible. I took
- [stumbling in the dark](https://timswords.com/stumbling-in-the-dark/) - my mornings begin in darkness. i’m up at 5am. for some of you, you roll over and see your clock at 5am and think, “i have two or three more hours of sleep.” i see it and think, “it’s time to wake up.” i blame my father. well, not really blame—but i certainly take after
- [building altars](https://timswords.com/building-altars/) - i hate road trips. i’m not a “joy in the journey” kind of guy. i just want to get there and get it over with. i’ve been after my kids for years to invent a teleporter, but my lazy children haven’t taken up that directive. the only thing that makes the travel semi-enjoyable is the
- [fishes and loaves](https://timswords.com/fishes-and-loaves/) - almost every day for lunch, i eat a lean cuisine meal. (lean cuisine, feel free to sponsor me.) not because i’m trying to lose weight, even though i should be. but because it tastes good, it’s cheap and i hate going out for lunch. lunch is a necessary evil for me. i know i need
- [thunderstorms](https://timswords.com/thunderstorms/) - “it’s thundering and lightning, get away from that window” my wife declared anxiously from the other side of the room of our newlywed nest. “it’s no big deal,” i answered. “i’ve grown up in Georgia. i’ve seen a few thunderstorms in my life.” her request seemed silly to me. she’s not from here, i thought.
- [silent nights](https://timswords.com/silent-nights/) - 400 years. that’s how long God was silent between the Old and New Testament. the last thing anyone heard from God was through the prophet Malachi. then 400 years. our country isn’t even 400 years old. 400 years ago, was 1617. i can’t imagine God being silent for that long. and what broke the silence?
