A New Day for America
Yesterday’s headlines were: Donald J. Trump Wins Presidency — to Become the 47th President of the United States.” May we pray for President Trump and other elected officials to seek God’s wisdom and to lead with biblical priorities and servants’ hearts. May we pray for God to use our leaders to unify our nation and…
A New Morning — A New Hope
Good morning, friends. I wrote this blog last night — not knowing what tomorrow would hold. But, I believe we can wake up to a country ready to move forward. No matter who holds office, we can be assured of one truth that stands above it all: God is still on His throne. His plans…
Election Day – God is Still in Control
We are off and running to our “last stand” (literally) as Election clerks this morning. We anticipate voting lines out the door. Heartfelt passion and commitment has been sensed during the days leading up to today. It’s Election Day, and the nation is buzzing. But before the votes are counted and decisions announced, let’s settle…
Never Would God Unfriend Us
Back in the day, when we unfriended someone, we walked away, erased their name off our notebook or wrote a “Dear John” letter. Here we are – decades later and we can unfriend someone with the tap of a button. I don’t “unfriend” but rather “unfollow”, usually because of their language, their rants, their lack…
Tired Baby? Tired YOU?
In case you’re reading this at 5:00 am this morning when this blog was posted, you should know that Daylight Savings Time to FALL BACK happened at 2:00 am this morning! So, maybe you can go back to bed for another hour’s sleep! You’re welcome! This photo is one of my all-time favorites and so…
The Whatevers
I still chuckle when I think back to my teenagers’ classic retort: “WHATEVER!” It was usually delivered with a hefty dose of eye-rolling and a sigh that could fill a room. A harmless way of saying, “Your opinion doesn’t quite make my playlist, Mom!” But today, I want to talk about a different kind of…
Are We Good at “Christianing”?
We, Christian (Christ-like) folks think we’re decent people. You know, we have all those “good” characteristics to our credit: going to church, tithing, giving offerings, wearing a cross necklace, attending a Bible Study, volunteering for a charity. How could anyone think we are anything but wonderful? I think of myself as being a good girl…
Savoring the Quiet
Our lives rarely settle into quiet these days. We get absorbed in the music on our ear pods, our eyes glued to the computer or TV screens where we are getting our daily dose of entertainment or information. My blogs share a lot of “God-information” online. I often wonder if I am listening to way…
My Grace Needs Help
I’ve heard and sung about God’s amazing grace all my life. Though we make mistakes and have not-nice attitudes and are weak in our faithfulness to Him and others, He loves us deeply anyway. Grace — His unmerited favor — is always helping us in our weaknesses. “But He said to me, ‘My grace is…
Unite — NOT Divide and Conquer
I am enjoying a “united” effort as I continue to work at the voting polls with people from both sides of the aisle. Of course, we can’t speak about politics in a room filled with voters who are of different persuasions than each other. But is it about that or is it because we respect…
