Really, God? I have to love not-so-nice people?

June 28, 2020 by Kelly Irvin 8 Comments

Jonah 1:17

Sometimes life lessons take time to learn.  We often have to learn them the hard way. My favorite oncology medical assistant for the past five years had to leave because her husband is in the military and he’s been transferred. She was a sweet, extraordinarily kind, knowledgeable health care professional who jumped through hoops to…  Read More

Prayer and the rest of the story

2 Thessalonians 5:16-18

If I recorded my prayer conversations with God, they would sound something like this: Hey God, how’s it going? Yeah, I know. I forgot our appointment yesterday. Go ahead and put it on my tab. I’ll pay up one of these days. It’s already paid for? Cool. Thanks. I’m fine. Of course, you know that’s…  Read More

Self-help prayer books unneeded; we have manual

Lord's Prayer

The latest pea under my mattress is self-help books on how to pray. I recently saw an advertisement for a book on how to pray “authentically.” Prayer can be hard for many of us, and I worry about putting more pressure on folks to “do it right.” The fact is we already have the book…  Read More

Mandisa’s new single ‘Unfinished’ touches deep chord

April 28, 2017 by Kelly Irvin 11 Comments

Proverbs 3:5

Earlier this week, I broke my ironclad rule of no TV (other than news) during the day in order to watch Christian artist Mandisa be interviewed by Robin Roberts on Good Morning America. Mandisa’s song “Overcomer” served as an anthem for me after I received my diagnosis of ovarian cancer in January 2016. The song’s…  Read More

Joy joy joy down in my heart to stay

Ocean in Hawaii

Remember that old song, “I’ve got a joy, joy, joy down in my heart, down in my heart, to stay?” I thought of it recently when my Sunday school was discussing the difference between joy and happiness. We’re studying 1 John and the topic of joy came up because John wrote to believers this about…  Read More

Medicine & Prayer Make Powerful Partners

September 3, 2016 by Kelly Irvin 10 Comments

The other night my husband and I were watching a TV program in which a fictional medical examiner said, “I’m a doctor, I don’t believe (in miracles, in prayer, in God).” Irritated, I turned to Tim and remarked that one did not preclude the others. He rolled his eyes and said, “It’s a TV show.”…  Read More
