Judge Not or You Will Be Judged
It’s one thing to be judged, but to be a judge who is judged – takes judging to a whole new level – especially when the judge is Judge Amy Coney Barrett. I’ve watched some of the judging of her in the Senate Judiciary’s confirmation hearings. My “judging” about the “judging” is the Republican optimistic…
Because I’m Happy
Remember that Pharrell Williams smash hit? I do. I loved the video and upbeat words: Because I’m happy — clap along if you feel like a room without a roofBecause I’m happy — clap along if you feel like happiness is the truthBecause I’m happy — clap along if you know what happiness is to…
That 4-Letter Word….Rest
I was drawn to the word “rest” after our diehard president was forced to stop and rest when he tested positive for the C-virus. A few days ago, I heard him respond to an interviewer’s question: “What symptoms were you having before you tested positive for the coronavirus?” He responded: “I just didn’t feel the…
Let’s Be Merry-Makers
Isn’t it day-and-life altering when we’re in the company of those who just brighten up the room with their optimism and sense-of-humor? I was in that company Wednesday night with these powerful, joy-filled women. Many were missing from our group, but these “merry hearts” sure made mine merry. It had been a while since we…
Look Away from the Chaos and Lift Up Your Eyes
This is an excerpt from Dr. Michael Brown’s blog and the best advice ever for finishing 2020 strong. “If you’re looking for cutting-edge political analysis, this is not the article for you. If you’re looking for the latest insights on the presidential elections, you’re in the wrong place. But if you’re looking for spiritual wisdom…
I’m Throwing You a Lifeline – Grab Hold of It!
A couple of years ago, while in Cabo San Lucas, my oldest and youngest grandsons headed out on stand-up paddle boards. That is a feat in itself — to get yourself upright on the boards. I’m doing good to get in an upright position from the ground — never mind, on water! (Gasp!) They paddled…
Are We Ready to Get This Baby Delivered?
Yesterday’s news of our POTUS and FLOTUS testing positive for the coronavirus put me into labor – laboring for this baby (eight months in now) to be delivered. I prayed throughout the day for a miracle birth. During these months, I have mourned with those who have mourned the passing of a loved one and…
Thanks to the Superheroes and the Big Picture
The word “superhero” has been redefined during this global pandemic. Once superheroes were the highly paid celebrities, professional sports figures, and those always in bright lights. They were also those in the world of Disney, DC and Marvel Comics. I remember my comic books that taught me about superheroes first. I lived vicariously through those…
Come Out, Christians, Wherever You Are
Just wondering if you heard about the tens of thousands of Christians who converged on Washington D.C. last weekend? No news reports about looting, vandalism, calls to “burn it down”, no acts of violence and destruction? That’s because the tens of thousands of Christians came to pray for our nation. Worship, prayers, humility and repentance…
My Eyes Saw His Eyes
From my comfy chair, I look across my living area into the kitchen. My eyes see His eyes. Those eyes on my refrigerator were a gift that had been strategically placed under the guests’ clear plates at a women’s meeting. They were awe-inspiring then, and this day those eyes meet mine again. I know those…
