My Strength and My Song
I have an addiction! It’s because of a long line of folks who were equally addicted. One of the meanings of “addiction” is: “enthusiastically devoted to a particular thing or activity”. I am addicted to old AND new songs of faith. I didn’t have to tell you that because I confess to that addiction often…
You are Working all Things for my Good
Not only is that a passage from the Bible in Romans 8:28, it is the lyrics of a song written and sung by Gospel Recording Artists, pastors and dear friends, David and Nicole Binion. I was about to start writing a blog about that verse when I started singing the words written by David and…
NO Fear Here — 365 Days this Year!
We just came out of the season when “no fear” is a hot topic. Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds were told: “No fear!” Most every day I talk to or hear about someone who is afraid or anxious. The trust is we have plenty to be concerned and worried about. Of course, we long to…
My Rolling in the Hay Adventures
Not only do I blog every day, but I also write in my journal the highlights of each day — the “God” encounters, the strange, the off-kilter, the wacky, and the wild adventures. Truly I amuse myself. Believe me, I have plenty to write about — even outside of my normal routine. A couple of…
If I Could Have One Wish…..
I remember overhearing a conversation between my two youngest grandsons. Brennan, asked his younger brother, Bryson, “If you had a genie in a bottle, what would you wish for?” They certainly earned love tokens when they both said: “For Nana to live with us forever!” They had some other outlandish wishes, but that one put…
Sure I’m Awake! I’m Having a Wide-Awake Party!
All my life I’ve known how incredibly important a good night’s sleep is for our health but getting that good night’s sleep is sometimes a major feat – especially when we do our best thinking in the night when it’s peaceful and quiet. My cousin mentioned she was struggling to sleep because she has so…
The Steps of a Good Man Are Ordered by the Lord
I send an early morning text message to my children every day. Yesterday, I texted my son: “’The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and He delights in his way.” Psalm 37:23. I went on to say: “I love this scripture because it describes you and how God delights in the…
Are We Behaving Wisely?
Typically, we use the word, misbehaving, when it comes to the way our children act up. But, I’m sure you will agree that we have been inundated with “misbehaving” adults lately, particularly in the political arena. But, that’s them, what about us? We faith-talking, Bible-toting, cross-wearing, Christ-following people are being watched by those in our…
Trusty Steed — Trustworthy Men & Women of God
While having my morning devotion yesterday, my eyes became fixed on the painting across my living area from me. I remember when my husband and I purchased that painting decades ago. We bought it because we saw King David (thus, the small bust of David that sits below the painting) and his muscle-bound, trusty steed…
RESTORE – All Things New
My word for today is RESTORE: return (someone or something) to a former condition, place, or position. One of my all-time favorite reality shows is HGTV’s “Fixer Upper”, not just because I love the hands-on builder and interior designers, Chip & Joanna Gaines, a delightful couple with their four young kids (soon to be five),…
