Prepare Me to be a Sanctuary
Tuesday of Holy Week — Jesus most certainly set the record straight about God’s house being a place of prayer and holiness. When He saw the money changers and merchants selling their wares, He turned over their tables and cleared them out, exclaiming, “God’s house shall be a place of prayer!” Matthew 21:13 Bringing that…
Mary’s Alabaster Box = Audacious Love
Monday of Holy Week: “Mary took a liter of costly perfumed oil made from genuine aromatic nard and anointed the feet of Jesus and dried them with her hair; the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.” (John 12:3) So beautiful was this story, and also, how revealing this story was as we…
The Donkey — Jesus’ Limo
Happy Palm Sunday! Today, we celebrate our Lord’s triumphant entrance into Jerusalem where He was welcomed by crowds praising and worshipping Him and laying down palm leaves to honor Him. The palms, the “hosanas”, the worship and praise is typically our focus today. But, I’d like to add some focus to the donkey — he…
Leaving Behind Faith Footprints
On Thursday, a dear uncle graduated to heaven and, of course, thoughts go to the precious memories we made together, as well as the legacy and the footprints he left for us to follow.

I posted about David and his Giant, yesterday! Just wanted to add….a P.S. to that post! David DID win that epic battle with Goliath, but God had prepared him in the trenches, in the “small” things.

If that sounds like…
What’s Your Family Medical History?
A few weeks ago, I had surgery, and thanks be to God, I feel like a new woman now. But in preparation for that surgery, I had to consult with several doctors, and with each one, I had to complete a lot of medical forms that included questions like “What is your medical history —…
Count It All Joy!
Ever seen a baby that was laughing and so full of joy, that you were just magnetically drawn to him / her? You may have remarked, “What a joyful baby!” Of course they are, they have no worries, no concerns, all their needs are met, and they just live in their own world of comfort…
CEO of my Business — CEO of my Life
My tip of the day…..there’s no greater way to begin a new day and week than to have a meeting with the CEO of our business — especially with the desire for success in every way! My CEO is God, my Heavenly Father. Through the years of having early morning commitments, my body just naturally…
Goodness & Mercy Following & Favor Chasing
Really? God’s goodness and mercy are following us? His FAVOR is chasing us? Isn’t that just like our Heavenly Father — pursuing us and chasing us with His desire to bless us and do good things for us? It’s not just enough to be followed by His goodness and mercy. No, He is relentless in…
