Sheltered in the Arms of God
Another thing to know about me….in the 70s, my husband, sister-in-law, a dear friend and I were The Master’s 4 Quartet. We traveled the country in a 26′ Winnebago (with our two kids pictured here) — singing/playing Gospel songs in churches, camps, concerts and other venues. Those were great days of many and long road…
Bitter or Better?
I have an Aunt who has been in a British Columbia hospital for over 15 months now — Crohn’s Disease — and, after all she’s gone through — so many surgeries, in so much pain, and many other complications — she remains joy-filled, thankful, and continues to give God praise to be alive. Her faithful…
Remain, or Be Raised?
Tested, tried, and proven fact: How we talk and complain, and talk and complain about our present circumstances and challenges……determines how long we’ll get to stay right there, and, if we keep it up, we’ll even get to go around the same mountain again and again and again! Remember the Israelites being stuck wandering in…
The Purer the Vessel, the Greater the Flow
“The purer the vessel, the greater the flow” — Staci Wallace Before my girl left for the airport this morning, we had some sweet time talking about how much we desire God’s ultimate “stamp of approval” on our lives, in EVERY area of our lives. We talked about the times when it’s easy, and even…
Joy is My Strength
“Joy is prayer – joy is strength – joy is love by which you can catch souls. She gives most, who gives with joy. The best way to show our gratitude to God and people is to accept everything with joy. A joyful heart is the inevitable result of a heart burning with love. We…
Got Giants?
Got GIANTS?? Encounter any this week? I’m sure the answer is “Yes!”. I sure did. It’s just a fact, we all encounter some incredible giants from time to time. They seem so big and powerful, and they taunt us – doing their best to make us run in fear. Wouldn’t it be nice if what…
Lent Means Course Correction
What you may not know about me is that I’m a Private Pilot. So I have a little extra help with the notion of “I believe I can fly”. We had a single engine Cessna 182 – a sweet ride. We logged many hours flying across this great country. Though I haven’t flown in a…
I Believe I Can Fly — If Dumbo Can — So Can I
Yesterday, I posted “I believe I can fly!” Let’s take it a step further. Do you remember Dumbo — the Disney character that had huge ears? Other elephants ridiculed him, until he met Timothy Mouse that changed his perspective. Timothy convinced Dumbo that his little feather had magical powers that could turn his ears into…
I Believe I Can Fly — Come Fly With Me!
God really wants us to fly! He wants us to fly free of yesterday’s fears, guilt, disappointments and frustrations. He wants us to fly free of today’s anxieties. He wants us to fly free of tomorrow’s concerns. God moves mountains and He promises to answer our prayers. That’s what He promises in Matthew 21:24 “If…
Let’s Be Salt Shakers
Let’s be SALT SHAKERS!! “Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person.” – Colossians 4:6 So this scripture says…..when sharing our faith with others, it’s like seasoning with salt. If someone sprinkles a little salt on food and makes…
