This is Crazy! This is Awesome!
I enjoy reading Bible stories that start out “This is crazy” but end up “This is awesome”. For example, a little shepherd boy with a mere sling and stones, going up against a giant Philistine — wearing the toughest, rock-solid armor ever must have been a “This is crazy” moment, but we know how it…
A Lion, A Bear, A Big Dude = Promotion
A couple of days ago, I shared about young David and his ability to withstand the taunts and threats of the giant, but all it took was confidence and knowing who he was as God’s representative (That giant was messing with the wrong guy!), and he took down that giant in one fell swoop! That…
Integrity Matters So Are You Behaving or Misbehaving?
I’m reading through the Bible this year and reading about those people that got themselves into some really crazy situations, has sparked my interest like never before. I’m having so many “aha” moments in my readings. Take for example, King Saul and David. Remember the story of the “little” shepherd boy, David, and how he…
Eliminate “I Am Just A…..” From Our Vocabulary
I asked a young woman what she did for a living and she responded “Oh, I’m just a stay-at-home Mom.” I quickly corrected her. I said, “You are NOT “just a” anything. You are so blessed to be able to be in a position of the highest honor and status. You are the royal queen…
Are You a Lion Player or Lion Slayer?
I’ve been thinking a lot about David, the shepherd boy. He loved God so much. He spent a lot of time with his sheep. He knew them and he knew their enemies. He protected them when he killed the lion and the bear AND the giant. He had the incredible ability to conquer those “normally”…
A Bear, A Lion and a Big Dude
I posted about David and his giant, yesterdayt! Just wanted to add….a P.S. to that post! David DID win that epic battle with Goliath, but God had prepared him in the trenches, in the “small” things. David was faithful to fulfill his responsibilities. David did anything God asked him to do. When he faced the…
Peace is my Governor
Yesterday, a sweet new friend I’ve met here in Austin, asked me for the website for my daily blog. Not only do I blog on my Google website, but I also post it here on Facebook: http://livinginthepeacezone.blogspot.com/ I started blogging years ago, back when it would have seemed I had every right in the world…

We Will, We Will Rock You
Have you ever felt like your circumstances were looming over you like a huge GIANT who was fierce, beyond your capability, bigger than life, and he was throwing every negative word of doubt and unbelief, imaginable, your way — taunting, harassing, smack talking — and, your faith was challenged like crazy? If that sounds like…
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…
