He is Here — Right Now!
It’s hard to comprehend that we are a full-fledged “blood sibling” with Jesus Christ, our big Brother. Fully God. Fully Man. We are one with Him. We belong to Him. He lives in me. He lives in you! Please don’t skip through this blog quickly today. I know that many of my readers simply scan…
My Captive Audience
The manicurists at my nail salon nicked my fingers three times. Three nicks and they’re out. So, I go to a new salon where I meet June. She is all about pleasing me, and bonus, she speaks English very well. We get through the newcomer chatter, and then I go into an internal zone, but…
What Holds YOU Back?
Last month my children invited me to attend their Perspective Leadership Summit at Allasso Ranch in Hawkins, Texas. I was stoked. The summit isn’t for the faint hearted because ropes, zip line and other courses are a part of it. And it isn’t for the faint hearted when Staci calls different ones to come to…
The Name Game
How are you at remembering names? I’ll reveal my “issue”. Remembering names hasn’t been one of my positive assets. My granddaughter was with me at an event. I asked her to “work with me on introductions”. I said, “If I remember their name, I’ll simply say their name and introduce you, but if I don’t,…
Born with an Identity
If you were a fan of the “Bourne Identity” action spy thriller movies, you’ll remember that Jason Bourne (played by Matt Damon), was a man suffering from extreme memory loss and spent his life trying to figure out who he was. He didn’t know his name or identity. Jason Bourne was the opposite of Jesus.…
Kisses — Sweeter than Wine — Happy Valentine’s Day!
“Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth — for your love is more delightful than wine.” How’s that for a Valentine’s Day opener? Sounds like something out of a romance novel, doesn’t it? It is way more. It is straight from God’s Holy Word, the Song of Solomon 1:2. God intended us…
When Jesus Gets in our Boat
Have you ever wondered why you worked so hard on a project and it didn’t measure up to the toil you put into it? Have you ever really done your best to improve a relationship, but it never got better? Did pressure ever consume you and relief never came? The answer might be quite simple.…
Epiphany Sunday and I had an Epiphany
Today is Epiphany Sunday. I love those words: “Wise men (and women) still seek Him.” It is an EPIPHANY when one soul seeks Him and finds Him. And when we find Him, we find more than we ever imagined. For in Jesus Christ, we find forgiveness, inward peace and joy, today, and the promises of…
The Greatest Gift EVER
Merry Christmas to you and yours! I suspect you were like me in preparation for this day. Amazon showed up for me many times leading up to this day, or yesterday (Christmas Eve) when we opened many of those wrapped-up treasures. But…..BEST. NEWS. EVER. God showed up this day (at least the day we celebrate…
Jesus Counts by Ones
I didn’t quite get the song: “Reckless Love” when I first heard it. I thought it was disrespectful to call God’s love or Christ’s love “reckless”. But then, after hearing it over and over, I came to appreciate it because I realized the magnitude of a shepherd leaving his 99 sheep to go after the…
