I Am Not Ashamed
Last Tuesday, June 11th, I came across two newsworthy stories about brave, bold, and beautiful people who seize every opportunity to promote Jesus Christ. WHAT? How can they be so outspoken in a world where faith is supposed to be squashed? Don’t give me that hogwash. Faith-filled children of God have been like that for…
I’m a Jesus Fan
Yes, I’m a Jesus fan! I can’t help myself. He has done so much for me in the peace, comfort and joy categories that makes me want to make Him even more famous. My blogs speak of Him often. I’m sure you have seen Jesus fans carrying signs on street corners that say something like…
Bold and Brave Believers
They are those who have the kind of faith that steps out in bravery, courage, taking bold moves and fearless risks as they believe and pray for others and themselves. We have an incredible “Lamplighters” (aka fellowship group) at our church that we joyfully attend after Sunday morning worship. Unlike our teenage years when Sunday…
The Devil Made Me Do It
I am so grateful for my fans aka those who follow my daily blogs. It is humbling AND encouraging that God might have used the words I share to give out the get-up and go juice to kick-start your day. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! One of those fans aka friend sent…
Dare to be Bold
Yesterday, my blog was about the willingness to get out of the boat and walk on water. Well, not really a boat, unless God told us to (like Peter). I meant, stepping out of our intimidation and comfort zones and “I can’t” zones. Today, I’m taking it a step further! When my sweetheart passed on,…
Is this the Moment for Which We Were Created?
I almost bought this metal wall hanging, shown here, because it spoke to me. I took a photo instead. It spoke to me because I remember at the birth of my children – I knew I was created to bring them into this world. It spoke to me because there have been times when I…

At every birthday celebration, a gift always shows up! This day of celebration commemorates the Gift of the Holy Spirit to us. And what a gift He was AND…
Somebody Else Will
A dear friend of mine is having quite the year. She has faced personal health issues and as the director of an active, vibrant ministry – was faced with leading it in a major event, and was tremendously successful at it, I might add. She has two children getting married this year (one this weekend),…
Boldly Moving from the Back Seat to the Front Seat
We’ve taken the back seat long enough. We’ve allowed others to drive us to places (figuratively speaking) where we really didn’t want to go. But because we’re good back seat listeners rather than front seat speakers, we are complacent, quiet, and seem agreeable to wherever they go and whenever they go there. Instead of sitting…
Audacious Living, With Audacious Faith
Big Audacious Living With Audacious Faith AUDACIOUS — showing a willingness to take surprisingly bold risks; daring, fearless, brave, courageous, valiant, venturesome Brilliant author and speaker, Erwin McManus, was speaking on TV a few days ago.
