Boasting about Weakness
Here I go, stepping out from under my “mighty woman of God” rock. Confession: I have weaknesses. Wait, what? Who wants to hear that? Bear with me. I promise there’s a point. Let me remind you, the Apostle Paul himself bragged about his weaknesses. He wrote, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power…
We Have Everything We Need
Max Lucado (my favorite author) hit the nail on the head when he said, “You have a God who hears you, the power of love behind you, the Holy Spirit within you, and all of heaven ahead of you…” Now, if that doesn’t make us want to shout a hallelujah, I don’t know what will!…
Hair and a Prayer
Oh, the lifelong journey I have had with my hair! It’s been a roller coaster of triumphs and mishaps! I’ve been friends AND foes with my hair since an early age. What about those perms??? I can still smell the chemical concoction from a home perm my mom gave me. She read the instructions like…
Living on the Light Side
Our neighborhood is well-lit—motion sensors flicker on whenever someone walks by. It’s a comforting reminder of how light dispels darkness, both literally and spiritually. After the Christmas season time-out, our Women’s Wednesday Night Bible Study is well underway at our church. It gives me so much joy to be in a group of women of…
Let’s Be Pointers
I’ll admit it. Some days I’m not so humble. I get so fixated on who commented or liked or loved my blog, that I fail to remember it is HE Who deserves all the honor and praise. Less of me, more of Him. That I might decrease, and He increase. John the Baptist is one…
God Never Changes
On Monday, January 20th, we witnessed one president stepping out of the Oval Office and another stepping in. On the surface, President Biden and Jill were poised and gracious, but I imagine behind closed doors, there might have been a little dance of relief. After all, who wouldn’t celebrate being free from public scrutiny and…
Water for the Body and Soul
We are on a water regimen. We already drink plenty, but this new health product we’re trying has us practically swimming from the inside out! With nighttime temperatures still freezing, it feels odd to chug water like it’s July, but hydration doesn’t take snow days. Water is the lifeblood of our bodies — literally. It…
The Day After the Inauguration
Yesterday I woke with fresh optimism about what our future holds for us. Was it because we hoped and prayed President Trump will make positive, healthy, morally, and biblically sound decisions that will unify and protect our country, turn our hearts to God, and “make us great again”? We can hope and pray, can’t we?…
Honoring Sacrifice, Unity, and Hope
I’ve been looking forward to this day! We commemorate two pivotal moments in our nation’s history: Martin Luther King Jr. Day and the Presidential Inauguration Day. Each carries profound significance, not only for the leaders we honor but also for the path forward they inspire in all of us. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave…
I Want Eagle Vision
Yesterday, I blogged about an eye issue I had that initiated an emergency trip to an eye doctor. I’m healed from that gnarly, surprising event. With my glasses on, I have 20/20 vision! But, I don’t want to settle for 20/20 vision. I want to have “eagle eyes” vision. That is the visual ability of…
