It’s Not Over Till I Win

Years ago, my daughter wrote and recorded a song entitled “It’s Not Over Till I win”. The chorus of the song goes like this: “I’m not givin’ up. I’m not givin’ in. I’ve got to keep believing. It’s not over till I win! I’m not givin’ up! I’m not givin’ in. I’ve gotta keep on…

Lord, Please Help Me to be a Lifetime Adventurer

Life can be a great adventure, especially when it starts out with my furry friend, Buddy. Adventure is defined as an unusual, exciting, typically hazardous, experience or activity. What’s so unusual and hazardous about walking a dog? ~ The Terrain — there’s cracks and unlevel walking paths, curbs, roads that have high traffic patterns and…

Love Conquers All

Yesterday, I started out with a spring in my step and joy in my heart, celebrating my great big, wonderful God who confounds me with His unfathomable love for me. I spoke into my day blessings and peace as I continued with thanksgiving to my Lord for His goodness to me. That’s the way my…
