It’s a Good Day!
Today is Good Friday – the day Jesus was crucified. Without this day, Christ’s death on the cross would lose its meaning. The resurrection of Jesus is the pinnacle of our faith, but the death of Jesus is what makes it all possible. Jesus never wavered in His resolve to walk the lonely, painful path…
Worry Less
WORRY LESS?? That’s what I’m thinking about today. I bought a new computer because the old one literally passed away – along with all the data in it. Ugg! My QuickBooks accounting program was in it and I need that program and data for preparing my tax returns. Also, there’s the scam “issue” we got…
He is Here — Right Now!
It’s hard to comprehend that we are a full-fledged “blood sibling” with Jesus Christ, our big Brother. Fully God. Fully Man. We are one with Him. We belong to Him. He lives in me. He lives in you! Please don’t skip through this blog quickly today. I know that many of my readers simply scan…
Messaging God
Since I get up so very early each morning to post my blog, I will often get a little dozy when I’m about to start my devotions. To be fully alert for my conversations with God, I’ll sometimes ease my recliner back and shut my eyes for a few minutes – which often includes a…
Anything is Possible with Hope
I often receive private messages from those who are hurting and are seeking peace in their lives. They’ve “tried” God, but still feel abandoned and hopeless. I speak truth and life into them and pray with them. And, very often, I’ll receive back their reply that what I said gave them comfort and peace –…
What Disrupts Your Worries?
A “show-stopper” song that disrupted the angst, worry and concerns in my life was one written and sung by Andrae Crouch. It went like this: “I’ve had many tears and sorrows / I’ve had questions for tomorrow / There have been times I didn’t know right from wrong / But in every situation / God…
I was a Fraidy Cat
F.E.A.R. – False Evidence Appearing Real That was my husband’s definition of fear. And, he was right on. How many times do we have fears that are false fears based on false information? As much as I’d like you to believe that I’m this fearless dynamo, I still have those times when fear is an…
NO Fear Here — 365 Days this Year!
We just came out of the season when “no fear” is a hot topic. Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds were told: “No fear!” Most every day I talk to or hear about someone who is afraid or anxious. The trust is we have plenty to be concerned and worried about. Of course, we long to…
Yes, I Can Be a Little Grabby — on Purpose
My Children’s Hospital sagas continue. A younger child has no idea what faces them here so they hold tightly to their mom or dad. They only know they hurt and their parents love them too much to let it last. Yesterday, most of the kids were quite strong as they allowed mom or dad to…
Behind Locked Doors Because of Fear
I’m so happy the Easter Story doesn’t end with the resurrection. There’s so much more! The next verse in John 20:19 says this: “That Sunday evening the disciples were meeting behind locked doors because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders.” They locked the door, they shut themselves off, they locked away the world. Out…
