God is in the Details
Details — those ominous, pit-filled, heart-wrenching times when we ask: “Why? Why? Why?” But hold on, friends, God is in the details!!! We are having our morning devotions when we start looking for answers to some almost overwhelming issues. A sales contract on Carl’s home seems to have a glitch. During the inspection, some plumbing…
God’s Cinematography
We heard the perfect place to view the total solar eclipse was Luckenbach, Texas. Friends said it would be the crème-de-la-crème location of seeing it happen there in full cinematography. Knowing the highways would be packed with travelers, sweet home Austin had a better offer for us. Our next-door neighbors, Texas Children’s Hospital, offered our…
God’s Handiwork in the Heavens
On August 21, 2017, millions of people witnessed the last full solar eclipse. While I have a great appreciation for the wonders in the skies and on the earth, I didn’t get carried away with it all until I was at my car dealership. The service guys were outside with their welder’s masks. My service…
Let’s Talk About Going Home
I write this blog today after attending a group meeting that included a yummy Mexican lunch! Was it the dying part that enticed me to go to the meeting or was it the free lunch? Maybe both. At our ripe ages, it is incumbent upon us to consider “What’s Next?” – at least regarding helping…
We’ve Got the Power
I can’t help myself. I am still living in the wonders and miracles of our Lord’s Easter/Resurrection life AND in our resurrection life. Colossians 1:13 says “He rescued us from the power of darkness and brought us safe into the kingdom of His dear Son.” God was in control when He placed Jesus into Mary’s…
Let’s Talk About It Some More
I mean. Let’s talk about what the resurrection of our Lord really means to us. I can’t let it go. The resurrection of our Lord changes everything. He proved NOTHING is impossible with God. He proved that what He said would be. Jesus said to Martha after her brother, Lazarus died and was buried: “I…
My Redeemer’s Hands
We read several devotions daily, plus we read a chapter from the Bible. A few days ago we read Psalm 31. As we read, my spirit was quickened by David’s plight as He was praying in distress, but fully trusting in God. He prayed Psalm 31:5 — “Into your hands I commit my spirit; deliver…
Who Do YOU Condemn?
I watched a clip from “The View” program where the co-hosts went down a rabbit trail of condemning Princess Kate with false conspiracy theories. A reporter said: “Shame on you!” Now, the co-hosts are expressing regret after acknowledging that they had misconstrued Princess Kate’s absence, only to find out that she was diagnosed with cancer.…
Behind Closed Doors
Ever say: “I’m waiting for doors to open”, meaning a job opportunity, or patiently waiting for a store to open its doors, or the cash windfall that you could sure use that’s behind those closed doors? Remember when we placed our hands and fingers in a position to show “Here’s the church; here’s the steeple.”…
40 More Days of Easter
Hold it! The Easter season (the resurrection of our Lord and His time on earth before ascending to heaven) is still underway. For 40 days after His resurrection, Jesus was “in and out” of places and people’s lives during that time. He was showing up when they least expected Him. Can you imagine being one…
