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…
Shut the Door
Every day we can choose life. A friend explained some of her health issues. She said that she feels optimistic yet fear creeps in with “What if?” I told her that when the enemy taunts her with his fear tactics to remember, “The enemy comes to kill, steal and destroy, but Jesus came to give…
Taking Back what the Enemy Steals
It is Sunday and arriving at home after church, my phone alerts me that my wallet is missing. I keep an AirTag on my wallet and luggage. It is an easy way to keep track of my stuff and Lord knows I need help with that! My AirTag is my radar for tracking down my…

As the doors for restaurants, businesses, and even my church are starting to…
We Can’t Judge a Dandelion by its Cover
You know those bright yellow flowers that we consider our enemy? I saw this photo and a friend’s post declaring “Dandelions are not Weeds! They build bones better than calcium, cleanse the liver and heal eczema.” Who knew? I’ve always pulled them out of my yard or had my lawn guys spray them away. But…
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”…
