The Giver of Good Things
We’re still a ways off from President-Elect Trump’s inauguration, but he sure isn’t letting any grass grow under his feet! As he builds his team, we do our part by praying daily for his safety, wisdom, and God’s divine will for our nation. And isn’t it a relief to know that our joy, peace, and…
Election Day – God is Still in Control
We are off and running to our “last stand” (literally) as Election clerks this morning. We anticipate voting lines out the door. Heartfelt passion and commitment has been sensed during the days leading up to today. It’s Election Day, and the nation is buzzing. But before the votes are counted and decisions announced, let’s settle…
We are Not a DIY Project
Life is full of moments when we roll up our sleeves and tackle things on our own — kind of like a do-it-yourself project. I’ve had plenty of those projects that required the right number of nails, bolts, right sized boards, paint, etc. etc. Sometimes the project ended with giving me a sense of accomplishment.…
Our Divine Security Patrol
In a world filled with uncertainty, we are constantly reminded of how fragile life can be. By now, you probably know that last Sunday there was another attempt on President Trump’s life. Lord, have mercy! It was another chilling reminder that no one, no matter how powerful or protected, is immune to danger. That’s why…
Hedge of Protection
In these tumultuous times (I used that word because of all the back-stabbing rhetoric in our politics — ugh!), it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the chaos swirling around us. The uncertainty of our world’s future, the anxiety over who will lead our nation, and the constant barrage of troubling news can make our minds…
God is Still in Control
We’re in the thick of “He said, She said. They said. Let him go, Let him stay!” The race for our next president is intensifying. I married a man passionate about our election privileges and responsibilities, so we keep vigil in our actions, reactions, and prayers. Time flies in the election process, and soon we’ll…
I Know Who Holds Tomorrow
Today, March 5th, is Primary Election Day here in Texas. I am up and at ‘em to head to my polling location where I’ll be working from 6 a.m. until 8 p.m. tonight. I am stoked. I can’t begin to convey how patriotic I feel about being a part of this process. There will…
In God We Trust
Psalm 91 has been my go to: 911 number for years. Get it? Psalm 91:1 “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” It is my 911 call for daily protection for my loved ones and myself. The whole chapter is about “In God…
Trusting God in the Senseless
Yesterday I blogged about the times when we MUST trust! We have a host of reasons to have a problem with trusting, especially when it comes to relationships and our heart gets broken or when dreams crush or our dream vacation turns into a nightmare or when we’re let down by a sickness reoccurrence. We…
Having a God-is-in-Control Mindset
Thank goodness, the election is over. Congrats to the winners of of the political races because now we can breathe easier. The ones who won their seats proclaimed that they would fix the economy, solve the issues on immigration, women’s rights, health care, and give their supporters whatever they want from them. So, no concerns…
