It’s Okay that We’re Being Chased
When someone is being chased, our minds immediately think of “no good,” peril, and fear. But what if I told you that being chased could actually be a beautiful thing? Oh yes, God’s favor is hot on our heels! His goodness and mercy are in relentless pursuit, and they aren’t giving up anytime soon. Isn’t…
If We Don’t Praise — the Rocks Will
I saw this “rock-band” cartoon and I knew a blog was on its way. Humorous but the truth is these are just rocks, stones and pebbles. No life exists in them, yet they sit amidst the vibrant rhythm of creation. Around them, water dances, fish jump for joy, and birds chirp. As I look at…
Were You There?
Yes, I was there — glued to the presidential returns that came in. Even my children and grandchildren had a Watch Party – waiting for the big announcement. The history books will long declare “Donald Trump became the 45th President AND the 47th President-Elect of the United States of America. Who woulda’ thought that after…
Raise the Praise
Other than those who are allowed in via a permit, the Kogelberg Nature Reserve in Cape Town, South Africa, is off limits to visitors. Birdlife is prolific, wild horses live in the wetlands, and whales can be seen offshore. The area’s rich diversity of animals and over 1,800 varieties of plants flourish there. How free…
The Pursuit of God
That’s my blog title as well as my greatest desire — to be in pursuit of God. That means I purpose to follow, run after, chase Him, and even catch Him and His unchanging, loving, caring and peace-filled ways. A. W. Tozer’s “The Pursuit of God” is a classic Christian devotional book written in 1948.…
Straighten Your Crowns, Worthy Sheep!
Yesterday my blog featured two sheep dogs called Goodness and Mercy. They kept the sheep from danger. In the case of God’s goodness and mercy following us all the days of our life, I’d say it’s a blessing to be sheep in our Good Shepherd’s royal pastures. But lest we consider ourselves “the little lamb…
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…
Getting Older Doesn’t Suck
Just living a while longer in the magnitude of the light that shines so brightly from my birthday candles! And, really, thank God, I’m not serious – no cake could support that many! But I am living in the light of God’s goodness and mercy to still be alive and well! I remember working closely…
The Day After — No Winner Declared
Those were the headlines this morning. We expected this day – an undecided election. Gone are the days when we sat up to watch the “end-of-the-story” – even if it were in the wee hours of the morning! Well, I did sit up, then went to bed and many times I’d wake up to catch…
