A Life of Purpose – On Purpose
What a grand scheme God had when He sent His only begotten Son to this earth with the ultimate purpose of dying on a cross for you and me…..so that we could spend eternity with the WHOLE FAMILY of God! Now, that’s what I call a “Purpose-Driven-Life”. The book, “The Purpose Driven Life”, written by…
Let’s Break Some Rules
Jesus did. Why can’t we? Doesn’t that sound rebellious? Or does it – especially when we consider Jesus and how He broke some rules. I’m not talking about the “Thou shalt nots” – those are rules we don’t break. I am talking about how Jesus broke the rules around hypocritical folks. I was 15-years-old when…
Let’s Go for a Walk
The Everleigh monthly calendar where I live is full of activities. I pick and choose those that appeal to me. After all, I have my own activities calendar: writing blogs, intimate devotion times, the fitness center, hanging with my children and grands, encouraging and counseling others. Yesterday was different. A new 9:30 am Walking Club…
There’s Something About That Name
qQ/OBlh9auxJ3sC21ASjPjtp8v8sI-bpKxBQCLcBGAsYHQ/s600/Jesus%2Bname%2Bpower.jpg”/>A couple of days ago I blogged about our Great Physician and being able to call on Him 24/7 because He is ALWAYS on duty. In that blog I shared about how I learned to call on the name of Jesus when my babies or my grandbabies had a fever or cold or when I…
Is our Great Physician on Leave?
Telemedicine is a great way to have our minds eased from the comfort of our homes. Recently, my doctor and I had a visit this way after some tests were run. But today I’m wondering if we think our Great Physician is too busy for us and our only solution is Telemedicine or a trip…
Lost but Found, Darkness but Light, Blind but Sight
Just after our Thanksgiving meal, it was time for my family photo session in Frisco. I missed four of the grands for this occasion, but nine of us would satisfy this photo-hungry Nana! Getting ready to pile into the cars, my grandson Payton, Mr. Enthusiasm and brimming with pent-up energy, proceeds to go into one…
Blessed is She Who Believes
That title was inspired by Luke 1:45 “Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill His promises to her!” Mary’s cousin, Elizabeth, proclaimed those affirming words to Mary after a long trip from Nazareth. It’s only 20 days until Christmas AND 26 days until 2021, but who’s counting? I’m inspiring myself as…
Making a Return Trip
I can’t begin to tell you how many return trips I make to Walmart AFTER I just made it home with a load of groceries. Such was the case on Wednesday. No sooner than I returned home, one of my smoke alarms began to chirp. I had batteries on hand, but no matter which one…
You Matter and You Are Loved!
The Texas winds are blowing with gusto which means the leaves are giving way to the pull. Perhaps you see yourself as one of those leaves that has seen its best days and is in a downward spiral — no longer feeling like you matter and no one notices you or even cares about you.…
Scraggly Pessimism or Bright Eyed Hope
I read that this year’s 75-foot-tall, 11-ton Rockefeller Center Christmas tree arrived at Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. The tree, donated by Al Dick (from his front yard in Oneonta, New York), will be lit on Friday, Dec. 2. The headline that stood out first about the tree was “it is a symbol of…
