Don’t Click Everything
Carl received a beautiful, online invitation. A gala. He couldn’t wait to see where, what, and how soon this party will be! Now, if you know Carl, you know he loves people, parties, events, and opportunities to mix and mingle. And a good gathering? Even better. So, he clicked. And just like that — the…
God Leads – We Follow
Have you ever wished God would just send a text?“Turn left.” “Call her.” “Don’t eat that second cookie.”Wouldn’t that make life easier? Instead, we sometimes find ourselves in that in-between place — our best to trust, obey, and wait — yet quietly wondering, “Am I getting this right?” Let’s settle something right here — we…
Dream a Little — Dream a Lot
Carl sleeps like a champion — eight solid hours, no interruptions, probably dreaming in full color with surround sound. Me? I celebrate if I get six. And yes — I’ve been known to sneak in a little “holy nap” during the day — now and then. And dreaming at night? Rare. If I do dream,…
I Promise
“Promise me…” Those two little words carried big meaning, even as a child. My parents promised we’d go to Six Flags Over Texas — and oh, they delivered! Best day EVER. Sticky fingers, laughter, and the kind of joy only a promise kept can bring. As we grew, promises got a little more serious.We crossed…
God’s Ways — So Much Higher
Have you ever paused and thought — “What if God’s plan for me is even better than the one I’m holding onto?” Not just a little better. But beyond anything we could ask, imagine, or dream up on our best day. “God can do anything — far more than you could ever imagine…” (Ephesians 3:20)That’s…
Snapshots of Love
On Sunday, Carl and I stepped into a busy, active and fun-filled place — High Five — that was filled with laughter, little feet running, bowling balls rolling, and the sweet chaos of a five-year-old’s birthday party. Gifts were opened with delight, hugs were given freely, and joy filled every corner. And there they were…
Still Living Among the Living
I can’t help myself — I still have my Easter decor’ up and am still living in the moment of embracing my risen Savior. He lives! Christ Jesus lives today. He walks with me and talks with me and tells me I am His own. He lives. He lives — salvation to impart. You ask…
There’s Something About That Name
Our weekly Women’s Bible study has been walking chapter by chapter through “Live a Praying Life” by Jennifer Kennedy Dean, and oh my — what a gift it has bee Each week feels like an invitation — not just to pray, but to live in prayer. Not a routine, but a relationship. Not a checklist,…
When Mercy Speaks Louder Than Judgment
It’s so easy to slip into the blame game — pointing fingers at those who stumble, whispering sharp words about those who don’t measure up, and quietly justifying our own missteps when we miss the mark. We’ve all been there… every single one of us. And yet, we have witnessed the greatest Mercy-Giver of all…
Let’s Go for a Walk
I was once a long distance runner. Miles and miles — until my knees kindly suggested we find another plan. So now? I glide. The elliptical has become my “walk.” No pounding. No pressure. Just a steady, gentle rhythm.And somewhere between those smooth strides — I started noticing something.Some of my sweetest conversations with Jesus…
