Sheltered in the Arms of God
Another thing to know about me….in the 70s, my husband, sister-in-law, a dear friend and I were The Master’s 4 Quartet. We traveled the country in a 26′ Winnebago (with our two kids pictured here) — singing/playing Gospel songs in churches, camps, concerts and other venues. Those were great days of many and long road…
Remain, or Be Raised?
Tested, tried, and proven fact: How we talk and complain, and talk and complain about our present circumstances and challenges……determines how long we’ll get to stay right there, and, if we keep it up, we’ll even get to go around the same mountain again and again and again! Remember the Israelites being stuck wandering in…
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…
I Believe I Can Fly — If Dumbo Can — So Can I
Yesterday, I posted “I believe I can fly!” Let’s take it a step further. Do you remember Dumbo — the Disney character that had huge ears? Other elephants ridiculed him, until he met Timothy Mouse that changed his perspective. Timothy convinced Dumbo that his little feather had magical powers that could turn his ears into…
I Believe I Can Fly — Come Fly With Me!
God really wants us to fly! He wants us to fly free of yesterday’s fears, guilt, disappointments and frustrations. He wants us to fly free of today’s anxieties. He wants us to fly free of tomorrow’s concerns. God moves mountains and He promises to answer our prayers. That’s what He promises in Matthew 21:24 “If…
Let’s Be Salt Shakers
Let’s be SALT SHAKERS!! “Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person.” – Colossians 4:6 So this scripture says…..when sharing our faith with others, it’s like seasoning with salt. If someone sprinkles a little salt on food and makes…
The Flood Effect
We’ve talked about the “ripple effect” and the trickle down effect, but God wants to release a “flood effect” of His power into our lives like we’ve never seen before. This means we may have difficulties that look extremely large, obstacles that appear impassable, or dreams that seem unattainable. But when God releases a flood…
Jesus, Take the Wheel
Have you ever felt like you’re in one of those hamster wheels going round and round, but getting no where at all? Sort of like one of those stationary bikes — you pedal and pedal, but you don’t move forward, even an inch! At this earth-shaking moment, you have an epiphany, and you realize you…
The Show Must Go On!!
The Show Must Go On! (aka…. Life Must Go On!) One year ago this coming Wednesday, November 16th, my Honey got the thrill of a lifetime, his Bucket List was completed, and he got his ticket for the ride he’d waited for, earned, deserved, and was awarded. He got to go Home to Heaven. As…
Dr. Whirlwind and Dr. Peace — Relax. Trust Me.
Dr. Whirlwind and Dr. Peace — Relax. Trust Me. Six years ago my sweetheart was in for another hospital adventure. We were still learning some very important lessons on our faith journey. I needed an extra dose of peace yesterday, so I thought about those lessons. I had some good reminders and thought maybe my…
