Oh, Yes, My Dear – You ARE a Star!
At my weekly Bible study group, we were discussing the famous words: “Abram believed the LORD, and He credited it to him as righteousness.” (Genesis 15:6) And then Paul the Apostle added “So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.” (Galatians 3:6,9) Those words pack a punch. Abraham…
Slow Down and Listen to the Frogs
My inspiration for today’s blog came from a friend’s FB post. These were her words that captioned this precious photo so beautifully: “When I’m really trying to get a workout in (aka, not stopping every 2 minutes), I’m reminded to slow down when my daughter wants to listen to the frogs. I know one day…
Born to Create
Our Creator continues to inspire me daily. All of His creation is masterful! I’m so proud of Him. I’m like a child when I say, “THAT’S MY DAD!” Honestly, I cringe when I hear people say: “I’m not creative. I can’t cook. I’m not an artist. I’m not a crafty person. I can’t sing. I…
Our Mission Field is Wherever We Are
All my life, literally, all my life, I have been encouraged to love God and share His good news. It started, early on, when I saw the flannel board images of Bible characters while my teacher shared the Gospel story. I was also taught little songs that emphasized the love God has for me. “Jesus…
When You Pass Through the Waters…
I’m back home after a week of family fun in San Jose del Cabo. The experiences and daily inspirations are still with me, so rather than my sand and beach blogs, now I’m taking it to the open waters and the chills and thrills of some water adventures. My oldest and youngest grandsons headed out…
Don’t Quit Till You Got Nothing Left
More than likely, we’ve all taken an exam or test that we just made the grade that let us pass the course by the skin of our teeth. Or we finished that project but it certainly wasn’t to the standard it should have been done because our heart just wasn’t in it. It shows by…
Awestruck at the Awesomeness of God
It seems the longer I live and the places I get to go, the more awestruck I am by the majesty of God. What a genius He is! It boggles my mind that anyone could think that we, and all the glorious wonders of this world, just happened to show up when a “Big Bang”…
My Shelter is Solid Rock
Yesterday, sweetest memories flooded my mind from 2010. In Cabo, I woke early each morning to take in the magnificent sunrise on the crashing waves. I would find the cleft of the rock formations to sit beneath. How sweet was the presence of my loving Father there – especially as He restored my soul, for…
Climbing the Mountain to the Cross
My son kept saying “Mom, I’ve got to take you up the mountain to see the cross! It’s so beautiful up there!” He was up early (5:30 am) the next day to give me the sunrise view! The sun was rising and the timing was perfect. It was well worth the climb to the top…
Dual Citizenship Has Its Privileges
I had an “aha” moment when I handed over my passport at the Mexico customs entry. I was handing over my Rite of Passage. Having a passport goes way back to my teenage years but taking the time to read the first page of it goes back to last Sunday. This is what I read:…
