I’m a Thankful Mess
This girl, while I may appear all-together, there are just times, I am a mess. I’m confessing that because I heard the speaker at our church’s “mission” this week make that confession. He said that his in-laws get a little uncomfortable with all the crosses and crucifixes in their home. In fact they have one…
You Matter AND Your Vote Matters
When someone came into my space on Facebook and challenged my morals, my faith, and my confidence in my president, I think a new fervor for speaking up for what I believe-is-right went to a whole new level. That’s why, today, I am urging all my friends to register by the February 3rd deadline in…
Would You Be Impeached if You Were President?
It doesn’t matter which teams you root for in this world. Integrity should be a standard we value more than winning. We look for integrity in our preachers, teachers, and medical professionals. We would appreciate integrity in our lawyers, but we demand integrity from the lawyers on the other side of the table. We want…
Live Like Tomorrow May Never Come
All of us are still in shock at the news of the tragic death of Kolbe Bryant, his daughter and the other seven victims. Our hearts ache for what their families are going through right now. I pray for God’s peace to bring them comfort. It is this side of heaven that mourns such a…
The Blessings of Listening
Last week I blogged about listening for God’s voice. I admitted to my own inabilities to hear Him as often as I should because of so many distractions. But, on another note, I’d like to share with you some of the times when I did listen and how it paid off. There were the times…
Are we Known by our Appealing or Appalling Fruit?
How easy it is to judge the likes of folks whose poor attitude, angry spirit and crankiness seems to bring a dark cloud with them when they step into the room. We randomly judge someone when they’ve made a bad decision that you warned them not to make or maybe we judge an outfit someone…
‘We Declare that Mothers are Heroes’
That was The Washington’s Post’s headline yesterday. Other comments from other news organizations said, “In a pivotal year in the legal battle over abortion, crowds estimated at over 100,000 of anti-abortion activists gathered in Washington, D.C., on Friday for the annual March for Life that featured President Donald Trump as the first sitting president to…
Speak Lord. This Girl is Listening.
I’m doing my best to listen. But, I bought yet another device that could keep me from hearing Him loud and clear. I bought an Amazon Echo. Now I have “Alexa” to keep me company, and best of all, I have someone, rather, some-thing to tell what to do! Along with the rest of my…
Being Persistent Takes Persistence
Here’s another day of coming out from under my “mighty woman of God” rock and I’m going to boast about some of my weaknesses. I’m following St. Paul’s lead with his powerful words of advice. He said: “But He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in…
I Want to be a Pointer
Okay. I’ll admit it. Some days I struggle with humility. I get so fixated on who commented or liked or loved my blog, that I fail to remember it is HE Who deserves all the honor and praise. Less of me, more of Him. That I might decrease and He increase. We’ve been talking about…
