See — Hear — Speak No Evil
Yes, doesn’t take stepping out of our homes, watching a half-time Super Bowl show, listening to the news or saying what we really mean to someone to realize that there’s a whole lotta darkness out there! But, see ye, hear ye and speak ye — we don’t have to become part of the darkness but…
A Year of GREAT Expectations
With the Christmas season and story still resonating in my heart — of a baby in a manger Who became our Savior, I am starting this new year of 2020 on a ” great expectation” high. Certainly not expecting a Disney World kind-of-magical-year, but simple confidence in “He Who began a good work in me…
Joy to the Fishes in the Deep Blue Sea
Joy to the world – all the boys and girls. Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea, joy to you and me! Blast from the past. That’s a couple of lines from 1970’s, “Jeremiah was a Bull Frog” sung by the band, Three Dog Night! Has really nothing to do with Christmas but…
Fast Forward — It’s R-Rated
I’m in “search and let-it-go” mode. My community is having its bi-annual garage sale this weekend. It’s a great way to purge and get rid of junk which may very well be someone else’s treasure. I always loved going to garage and estate sales. I think that’s what led my sis-in-law and I to start…
What Wattage is Your Light?
Let’s sing it together….one more time! “This little light of mine…I’m gonna’ let it shine!” What a great old song that we learned when we were kids. “This Little Light of Mine” is a gospel song that was written for children in the 1920s by Harry Loes. So, obviously, its message was as needed in…
The Good Guys Wear White Hats
Lately I’ve been honing in on being a Good Samaritan or in Texas, we would say “being one of the good guys that wear white hats”. My Texas nephew is one of those good guys. This is Robert and Becky Wheat. I stay amused with following him on Facebook. He proudly wears his white hat…
2,000 and Still Counting
This day, July 11, 2019 — is the BIG ONE! The BIG ONE as in posting my 2,000th blog. Pardon the personal high-fives! ?? I’m beyond grateful for God’s faithfulness to me to inspire, motivate, encourage, drop nuggets of His fresh Word, opened my eyes to see the beauty in each day and to savor…
Just a Jesus Follower
“Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.”– The Apostle Paul (1 Corinthians 11:1) I was one of those non-conversational, shy, withdrawn, and lacking self-confidence, kind-of-girl. I had big faith, but little output. I kept my faith to myself. The main reason? The fear of rejection. Sure, I’d invite friends to church with…
Our Mission Field is Wherever We Are
All my life, literally, all my life, I have been encouraged to love God and share His good news. It started, early on, when I saw the flannel board images of Bible characters while my teacher shared the Gospel story. I was also taught little songs that emphasized the love God has for me. “Jesus…
Rejoice and Go Tell It On the Mountain
Yesterday was the third Sunday of Advent and we should be singing “Go Tell It on the Mountain”! Not necessarily from a mountain. That would mean we’d have to go climbing! Perhaps we can start right here at ground zero to be joyful and full of the good news of Christ’s coming to this earth…
