I’m a Jesus Fan
Yes, I’m a Jesus fan! I can’t help myself. He has done so much for me in the peace, comfort and joy categories that makes me want to make Him even more famous. My blogs speak of Him often. I’m sure you have seen Jesus fans carrying signs on street corners that say something like…
Romans 8:28 – The Good News of Bad News
We are known as an optimistic family. We reinforced optimism in our children with “You are champions. You can do anything if you set your heart and mind to it. “I can’t” not accepted in this house! With God all things are possible.” We purposely spoke: “God is good — all the time” regardless of…
Is Life Bland to You?
I enjoy taking a bite of my yogurt, blueberries, and granola with a quick follow-up of coffee. There’s something about having a sweet taste combined with yummy coffee. I go for the flavored-coffee pods. This day, however, the coffee is bland every time I take a sip. I carry on with it being bland through…
God is Good. All the Time.
A stand-by familiar chorus sung at church, church camps and other gatherings had very simple lyrics: “God is so good. God is so good. God is so good. He’s so good to me.” As a child, I remember my go-to prayer at the dinner table. Not because I had a tight relationship with Gid, but…
Focusing on the Good
Those of us who grew up in a Christian home, probably, at one time or another said that little childhood prayer: “God is great. God is good. Let us thank Him for our food. Amen.” As simple as that prayer sounds and as easy it was to pull that prayer out to offer a quick…
He Has Shown Us What is Good
Yesterday morning, these words from Micah 6:8 resonated with me: “He has shown you what is good. And what the Lord requires of you. To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” That sounds easier said than done but God has proved Himself as our example. This scripture starts…
The Struggle is Real……but, so is God!
This is Thanksgiving week and I know that many are not looking for paper to write down all your blessings. Not when you’re feeling like you’re six feet under the load and you don’t have a shovel to dig yourself out. From having been there, I know the struggle is very real. I know how…
Faith Crisis? Don’t Stop Now. You’re Almost There.
I have many friends who are facing a faith crisis — some in their health, their finances, their relationships and/or simply fear for what the future holds. After all, if we watched and listened to the news long enough, and believed it – we could all take a tail spin. It’s not that we don’t…
What is it Like to be You?
We’ve all played “ice breaker” games with a group of people who we may know very little about. It’s a great way to get to know each other in a very open environment. But, instead of the usual questions: “What do you do for fun? What was your most embarrassing moment? What was your favorite…
When Life is Sad — God is Good
I just can’t help myself. The inspirations at VBS keep coming so I must keep sharing! This has been a week of watching so many precious children get all caught up in God’s goodness and yesterday was off the charts. We had a departure of wandering in the wilderness with the Israelites to a day…
