Passing the Baton of Faith
My husband and I walked into our kitchen and curled up in the middle of the floor was a huge black snake. As any brave and fearless warrior would do, my husband grabbed our son’s near-by baseball bat and proceeded to send it to the “great beyond”. I’ll spare giving you the visual of my…
Peace is my Governor
Yesterday, I spoke about the “default settings” in electronics. We also have default settings and the ideal ones are having gratitude and the Fruit of the Spirit. A couple of days ago, I walked into a room and a situation that caused me to do an about-face. I was about to react negatively, but instead…
What’s Your Default Setting?
I was getting a little cranky when my computer’s web browser kept defaulting to Yahoo when it’s set for Google. Seems there was a glitch and after contacting McAfee (my antivirus protector), I found out how to correct it. I’m sure we’ve all had to deal with “default settings” on some of our electronics. For…
I Will Praise You in the Storm
It’s been some time since I’ve been to a great Christian contemporary music concert, especially since attending those events was a routine for my husband and I back in the day. So, I was enthused that we were going to see “We the Kingdom” and “Casting Crowns” on Monday night. We were a group of…
Our Promise-Keeping Father
Saturday night I made it to church in time to kneel and pray for a few minutes before the service began. I remembered an old Dottie Rambo song as I prayed: “I didn’t come here to ask You for anything.I just came to talk with you Lord.You’ve answered a million prayers or more,That I forgot…
Playing Hide-and-Seek With God
My blog today is a follow-up or Part 2 to yesterday’s blog about the risen Jesus walking through locked doors where His disciples were huddled in fear. He spoke “Peace be with you”. Those are exactly the words they needed to hear! We don’t have to play hide-and-seek with God. You know when we look…
Fear and Locked Doors
Here we are today, one week after Resurrection Sunday. I’m thankful the Easter Story provides us with even more chilling and awe-inspiring true stories beyond the resurrection. John the Apostle wrote this in John 20:19 — “That evening of the first day of the week, WHEN THE DOORS WERE LOCKED, where the disciples were, for…
Loving from the Inside Out
I’m a morning person by choice. I’m up and at ‘em at 4am or 5am and posting my blog. I know that I am an anomaly to those who have late-sleeping patterns. I’ve been up for a while when our continental breakfast bar is open at 8 am. Yesterday, I went over to grab something…
It Takes Two
My daily work-out routine has included 20 minutes on the stationary, moving-arms bicycle then 40 minutes on the elliptical equipment. But adjustments were required for that routine when the old sciatic nerve started acting up from sitting too long on the bicycle. Shish! Who likes to admit having to adjust our life-routines because of body…
Easter and our Hopes For Tomorrow
I don’t know what tomorrow holds, but I do know WHO knows and as long as I maintain my “God perspective” on everything this life doles out, I know I will make it through what may look like a tragedy or triumph. How do I know that? It was because of what happened on Sunday!…
