We Can Do Hard Things

I flipped on the TV and started watching the 2024 Paris Paralympics. I was in awe of the talent, physical strength, drive, and sheer determination to do what those who have all their abilities intact – wouldn’t consider doing. These incredible Paralympians do what others would think is impossible. My heart opened with a new…

Let’s Get Out the Golden Ruler

We have heard the Golden Rule many times. Jesus was being harassed by people who wanted to be right more than they wanted to do what was right. The Pharisees and Sadducees didn’t even like each other. But they were united in their dislike of this man, Jesus. He was causing people to question their…

Just an Ordinary Average Joe

After watching those brilliant, toned, driven Olympic athletes and their feats, it can certainly intimidate those of us without those well-trained bodies — physically AND mentally! We are just ordinary, average Joes. How could we ever excel and become so remarkable and outstanding in our “sport” or our “job” or our “family and relationships”? “Vive…

Maintenance Needed

I’m nearing the 40K mile check-up on my car. That means an oil change, tire rotation, and usual maintenance. We maintain our cars to avoid breakdowns. We need to apply maintenance to our souls. If our lives feel sluggish and unresponsive to God’s voice, it is probably time for a spiritual tune-up. Imagine if our…

Let’s Talk About It Some More

I mean. Let’s talk about what the resurrection of our Lord really means to us. I can’t let it go. The resurrection of our Lord changes everything. He proved NOTHING is impossible with God. He proved that what He said would be. Jesus said to Martha after her brother, Lazarus died and was buried: “I…

40 More Days of Easter

Hold it! The Easter season (the resurrection of our Lord and His time on earth before ascending to heaven) is still underway. For 40 days after His resurrection, Jesus was “in and out” of places and people’s lives during that time. He was showing up when they least expected Him. Can you imagine being one…

Our Ark aka Cabinet Project

As hilarious as it was, it still went SOUTH! We had it! Done with not enough storage space! So, we went to the IKEA store for a storage cabinet for the excess in our kitchen. But, to our chagrin, it was no longer in stock. So, since Amazon seems to carry everything, we found a…

Let’s Be Doers

Ever say these words to a relative or friend? “Let me know if there is anything I can do for you.” Those words that are blurted out without really thinking and with a little, “I hope they don’t need anything!” It’s a phrase I have overused through the years. Anytime someone has had a loss…

My Teddy Bear

Besides other symbols of love on Valentine’s day, my sweetheart gave me this darling “Warmies” weighted bear that is microwaveable (great for a cold winter’s night) and has Lavender Aromatherapy in him. WHAT? A grown woman receiving a Teddy Bear – oh yes! Not only is he the softest and cutest, but he is a…

The Listening Blessing

Honestly, I must intentionally focus on listening to those who are speaking to me because my mind tends to be a wanderer. This clarion call comes from the Apostle James: “My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: ‘Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.” James 1:19…
