Your Undivided Attention, Please
I’ll confess — I can be a bit of a squirrel chaser. Not the fuzzy-tailed kind, but the mental kind. One moment I’m writing about God’s goodness, and the next I’m wondering if I forgot to pay THAT bill, or what I should wear to the wedding! Yes — another wedding is on the horizon!…
A Forever Love
They did it! The knot was tied tight, and I’m thrilled to introduce Mr. and Mrs. Rose — my precious granddaughter Alexia and her beloved Winston. So much joy and jubilation filled our hearts for this precious couple! How faithfully God answered Alexia’s prayers! From the moment Winston Rose entered her world, it was as…
Let’s Fortify Our Faith
In times like these, it’s no surprise that the enemy is working overtime. The chaos in our world reminds us daily that we need more than optimism — we need armor. Paul’s words ring loud: “Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.” (Ephesians 6:11)…
We Win – No Matter What!
It’s Super Bowl Sunday, and the stakes are high! The Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles are facing off, led by two outstanding quarterbacks: Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts. But what makes them truly great is their unwavering faith in Jesus. They each discussed their faith during a news conference last Tuesday. Mahomes spoke…
Saving the Ones We Love the Most
We all have inbred instincts to save the ones we love the most. We are passionate about making sure our children don’t touch a hot stove, and they look both ways before crossing a street. But what kind of true grit do we possess for our children and grandchildren that will save them from the…
I Voted. I’m Glad I Did.
I did it! I voted in the Early Voting polls. I am also working in the polls. I have been blown away by the turnout of voters. I knew there would be a flurry of voters coming through our doors, but I didn’t imagine the numbers would be so great! By the way, Texans, you…
The Firstborn Blessing
The Bible, especially in the Old Testament, speaks often about the firstborn humans and even firstborn animals that were considered sacred to God. After the Israelites were rescued from slavery in Egypt, He commanded the people to consecrate every firstborn male human and firstborn animal to Him (Exodus 22:29-30). We followed that way by consecrating…
Blame it on Purple
In 2012 I was known as the “Purple Mom”. That was because of a business I was in, and my son was the CEO of that company. The color of the company’s logo was purple so in building my business, I wore a lot of purple. I was fully invested in that company, and you…
The Best Gift
My “bonus” grandson, Parker, pictured here, just graduated high school. On Pentecost Sunday at his church, he was asked to share what the greatest gift was that he had ever received. A crowd of eager young faces had been called to the front of the congregation to hear wise words. We were there to witness…
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…
