Our Questions — His Answers
If you’ve ever been cornered by a two or three-year-old, you know exactly how it goes—an avalanche of questions. “Why is the sky blue?”“What’s inside my bellybutton?”“Can I have cake for breakfast?” First, it’s adorable. By the 57th “Why?” You’re eyeing the nearest exit. Now imagine how many questions God fields from us every day.“Why,…
My Cross to Bear
Some days, I wear a gold or silver cross around my neck. It reminds me of my Savior’s sacrifice and resurrection and gives me hope for today and a promise for tomorrow. I feel its weight, not as a burden, but as a quiet declaration. But does wearing a cross make me a Christian? If…
Fixing My Eyes on YOU
We left 2024 behind — done AND gone! Now, 2025 is our NEW and improved year! But alas – we’ve already found out that our circumstances carried over to 2025! The overdue bills, the cranky neighbor, the pain and discomfort, the child gone astray, the prayers unanswered (or so we think), the sickness or loss…
Feel Like Quitting — Already?
It’s only day eight of 2025, and maybe you’re eyeing those New Year resolutions like leftovers in the back of the fridge? As for me? I just finished a piece of fudge, reassuring myself, “New health leaf starts Monday… or the Monday after that.” Priorities, right? Honestly, there are too many things to juggle —…
Be Still – But Don’t Stop Moving
“Be still and know that I am God.” – Psalm 46:10 I used to think “be still” was like a child playing that old “Freeze” dance game. The music stopped and we’d freeze like statutes! But life has taught me otherwise. “Be still” isn’t about standing frozen like a statue. It’s not a call to…
Epiphany: The Light That Changes Everything
Today, January 6th, marks the celebration of the first Epiphany — our Light has come! The big reveal! Jesus came from heaven to earth and was revealed to the world. The three kings aka wise men aka magi, followed a star that led straight to Jesus. They brought gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh to…
Let’s Settle the Score about Ups and Downs
I saw this graphic and right away, I knew a blog was coming. I am not ready for a flat line! Okay, I am ready, but I really believe God has more work for me to do! How about you? Here’s what I know for certain: If there are no ups and downs in our…
New Year’s Resolutions That Can Change Our Lives
I’ve met plenty of folks with backup plans, but I’ve yet to meet anyone with a backup dream. Isn’t that something? Maybe it’s time to dust off those dreams and give them another go. Life is too short to keep bouncing from one backup plan to the next like we’re playing hopscotch backwards. So, let’s…
Brand New – A Fresh Start for 2025
I can’t shake the sense that the word “NEW” is ringing loud and clear from Headquarters. “Old things have passed away – behold, all things have become NEW!” (2 Corinthians 5:17). Let the past be the past. Let the new BE new. There’s something special about the start of a new year – the feel…
Who Are You?
The last couple of days, we have been in Carl’s hometown, Lubbock, TX where we kicked off New Year’s Eve with dear friends, then danced to our nephew’s band, and ended the night in prayer and thanksgiving for 2024, and now excited to see what 2025 will hold for us! New Year’s Day brought more…
