Breaking News: God is Still on His Throne
When I published my Saturday’s blog and this image: “Breaking News – God is still in Control OF EVERY SITUATION – No Need to Panic”, I had no idea of the horrendous events that would take place later in the day. One of my blog readers commented with this one word: “Prophetic”! As I type…
Happy Independence Day!
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” – Excerpt from the 1776 Declaration of Independence. Today, we celebrate the birth of our nation, marking 248 years since…
A Moment of Silence
Though it is a beautiful sentiment to hear “Let us have a moment of silence for….”, I wish words of faith, hope and encouragement were said out loud. I know God hears our “inside voice” prayers, but Jesus said, “When you pray…SAY: “Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name…..” I visited with Dr. Google…
I am Determined
Today our 46th president will be inaugurated and a new administration will take the reins of leading our country. I am determined to be optimistic and positive because I know WHO will actually be in control. Our God. And He reigns supreme. I will not be disheartened. I will not fear. I will pray for…
Big Needs Need Big Prayers
I have been so blessed to see so many venues whereby Christians are raising their voices in united prayer for our nation. This is God’s prayer for us to pray: “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then…
It was a Day of Humbling Ourselves
I heard about Franklin Graham’s call for a prayer march in Washington D.C. on Saturday, September 26th. I also heard that Jonathan Cahn, a former Jewish rabbi and now, Messianic Jew, called for a day-of-prayer rally in Washington D.C. I knew I would dedicate my Saturday to joining others in prayer, so it was a…
Choosing Wisely Which Side of History We Want
Not long ago, I wrote a blog about the Israelites and the plagues sent by God to the Egyptians in the Bible. Now, we know from firsthand experience, what a true plague looks like in our world. In a sense, it has felt like history repeated itself. But, Lord, please spare us from frogs, lice,…
My Red River Trip Turns Out to be a Reboot
It’s a blessing when blog content shows up when I least expect it. I’ve cherished this time with family as we fish, eat together, travel the countryside, and carry on conversations about our lives (after so many years apart). But, this day, I wanted to go solo. I wanted to take in the sights, sounds,…
Humility Sure Looks Good on You
It’s time for a self-examination of conscience and attitude during these times. I say that based on the scripture that seems to come up daily in someone’s blog or post: “If MY people who are called by MY name, would HUMBLE themselves and pray and turn from their wicked ways….” (2 Chronicles 7:14) Many of…
I’m Ashamed of Us
Not my usual “raindrops on roses” blog title, is it? There’s a reason. My blog on Monday, and blogs since then, have been very family-and-self-minded. My motives were pure in that I hoped to exemplify the blessings of enjoying God’s creation, family and family fun. As well, desiring to encourage others to slow down or…
