God Leads – We Follow
Have you ever wished God would just send a text?“Turn left.” “Call her.” “Don’t eat that second cookie.”Wouldn’t that make life easier? Instead, we sometimes find ourselves in that in-between place — our best to trust, obey, and wait — yet quietly wondering, “Am I getting this right?” Let’s settle something right here — we…
The Great Rectifier
I had one of those eye-opening moments that made me stop and ponder the lesson I learned. I realized how easily my emotions can get tangled up. One minute I’m calm and collected, and the next minute my feelings are marching in like they own the place. And if I’m being honest, sometimes I really…
Being the Pen of a Ready Writer
More than anything, I desire to be God’s pen as He is the Ready Writer. Psalm 45:1 says, “… my tongue is the pen of a skillful/ready writer.” That means when we speak words, we are writing them on our heart;s and whatever is conceived in our hearts will eventually come out of our mouths…
Celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King’s Legacy
I’m old enough to remember when Dr. King was assassinated on April 4, 1968 – 56 years ago. That date gives me pause. It did then when I was holding my one-year-old baby boy in my arms and hearing the horrendous news of the assassination of this passionate, honorable man. Martin Luther endeavored to make…
Happy Almost Thanksgiving!
I saw this adorable little girl and the version of 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, read it, took it to heart, and, whoa-la — my blog for today! Thanks, God, for the inspiration! I love it when I see and hear from Him. I’ve always said, my blogs are for me AND you! Clearly, this verse from…
Just a Little Poco Loco
Have you ever felt like “your brain was one short fry of a happy meal” aka “gone poco loco” aka “a little cray cray”? We can all fess up to some of those times of: “What was I thinking?” My grandson’s best friend is here with us in Cabo. We heard the hilarious story from…
Wondering What God’s Will is For Your Life?
It’s Fall so I chose the most colorful Fall photo to emphasize my point today. I added 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 to it PLUS enlarging the print on that POINT: “FOR THIS IS GOD’s WILL FOR YOU and , whoa-la — my blog for today! Thanks, God, for the inspiration! I love it when I see…
His Way is the High Way
I WANT to do God’s will. Really, I do. But how can I know what that is? I can’t claim to have this all figured out, but the more I seek to understand what scripture tells us about God’s will, the clearer it becomes. First, it is most important to understand the big picture why…
Peace is my Governor
The governors of our states have certainly had a higher profile since the start of Covid-19. At least that’s my take on it. Though their responsibilities are tremendous anyway, they have had the power to keep us in our homes or not, wearing masks or not, having school at home instead of at school, closing…
Surprise!
I wasn’t a gal who liked surprises. I was the gal who prided herself in knowing what all my presents were under the Christmas tree. I did a good job of unwrapping and wrapping them back up again. I’m not proud about that conniving reveal about myself. On my 50th birthday, my precious and adoring…
