Lord! Please Give Me a Sign!
Lord! Please Give Me a Sign!Do you suppose this truck driver was so caught up in his prayers asking God to give him a sign if he should quit the trucking business, that he didn’t consider how high his semi-trailer was? I saw this photo on a friend’s FB page and I knew a blog…
Play the Movie
A friend recommended that I listen to Dr. Henry Cloud’s book “9 Things You Simply Must Do….to Succeed in Love and Life”. Dr. Cloud is a Christian psychologist and his audiobook intrigued and inspired me, especially with his principle of “Play the Movie”. “Playing the Movie,” is the practice of seeing the end before making…
She’s Got Her Fall On
For a couple of weeks, I’ve walked by a neighbor’s door (seen here) that already had her Fall décor up. It jolted me because my mind wasn’t on Fall yet since we still have hot weather here. But then I remembered shopping at Hobby Lobby and their Fall décor was out and people were buying.…
A Holy Moment and a Lost Phone
I’m at the Vincentian Family Center on Saturday. Just before the store opens, I see a co-worker standing in the middle of the floor, gazing straight ahead and mumbling. I look to the right and see no one standing in front of him. I ask: “Who are you talking to?” His reply: “I was having…
It’s Time to Get Out From Under
Ever heard someone say this? “UNDER the circumstances, I’m making it”? You’ve also probably heard someone say: “I’m UNDER so much pressure with this project”. If that’s our response, in any case, it’s time for us to get out FROM UNDER. I loved this photo of the dog under the bed. He was probably hiding…
Chicken Coops Everywhere
A couple of days ago I asked my daughter how the chickens were getting along. She explained that they had to remove four chickens from the coop because they were gurgling, which is a sign of a respiratory infection. They didn’t want the other chickens to get infected, so they set up a separate coop…
When Judging Makes a Difference
My go-to grocery store was out of watermelons when I shopped. But not yesterday. They were fully stocked. I brought one home, cut myself a slice and, YES – sweet, juicy, and seedless. Yum! Watermelon is my favorite summer fruit. It’s amusing to watch people thumping on watermelons trying to find the best one. I…
Running our OWN Race
My son asked me: “Is that an Oura ring you’re wearing?” I replied that it was. He said he saw his friend wearing one and wondered if it worked. Intentionally, I run/walk/exercise as much as I can, when I can. But, there are days when “I’m a squatter!” I just sit as I write blogs,…
Dare to be Bold
Yesterday, my blog was about the willingness to get out of the boat and walk on water. Well, not really a boat, unless God told us to (like Peter). I meant, stepping out of our intimidation and comfort zones and “I can’t” zones. Today, I’m taking it a step further! When my sweetheart passed on,…
I’m NOT a Boat Squatter
So, you know the story. The winds and waves are in an uproar and the disciples are totally freaked out. They think their lives are about to be taken when here comes Jesus walking on the water. He calls Peter to come to Him. Without any hesitancy, Peter is audacious enough to obey the voice…
