Let’s Settle the Score about Ups and Downs
I saw this graphic and right away, I knew a blog was coming. I am not ready for a flat line! Okay, I am ready, but I really believe God has more work for me to do! How about you? Here’s what I know for certain: If there are no ups and downs in our…
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…
A Little Chat about Grace
I live in God’s grace. I just know it. We all do! No matter what kind of mistake(s) we make, there is always a solution for restitution. It comes in the form of grace. It is God’s grace that heals and restores. He exchanges our tarnished slate for a fresh, clean slate so we can…

God’s Amazing Grace….and Ours
Aw! The good, unmerited, and amazing grace of God. We know it well! BUT….what about OUR grace? I started thinking about Paul the Apostle’s words:“Let your conversation be always FULL OF GRACE, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.” Colossians 4:6 Our words – full of grace? We hear someone…
Chips Off the Old Block
Michael Jackson sang “Man in the Mirror”. It spoke of the person we need to be to make the world a better place. The chorus went like this: “I’m starting with the man in the mirror.I’m asking him to change his ways.And no message could have been any clearer.If you want to make the world…
I’m Having a Blue Christmas
Only because I chose to forego all my red Christmas decor that was always my Christmas color of choice. This year, I loved my navy blue and white decor so I blended in the blues and whites into my Christmas decor. There’s something about it that feels holy and still and peaceful. You can see…
