I’m Remembering
Day 45 of Photo Inspirations — February 14, 1961 — I’m remembering. Fifty-four years ago today, the cutest dark haired 13-year old boy named Ronnie (aka Ron) Wuerch and me, the lankiest, 12-year old girl named Donna Wheat, had our very first “official” date (chauffeured by Ron’s dad) to a church Valentine’s Banquet. This photo…
God Wired Us For Thirst
God wired us for thirst – a “low-fluid indicator.” If our fluid level is low, the signals will flare — dry mouth, achy head, weak knees, unclear thinking, even fainting.. If we deprive our bodies of fluid, our bodies will tell us. In the same way, if we deprive our souls of spiritual water, our…
Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining
It was the 3rd night of our Southern Caribbean cruise (it was our annual, romantic get-away), when, suddenly, the lights began to flicker and the engines came to a screeching halt. It was a dramatic sight as people ran to their cabins to get their life jackets. Fear consumed most of the passengers. We knew…
You’re the Apple of His Eye
“If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. If God had a wallet, your photo would be in it.He sends you flowers in the Spring, and a sunrise each morning.You’re the apple of His eye and the delight of His heart.”-Max Lucado I’d say that makes you and me quite special. To know…
It’s a New Dawn, a New Day, a New Life & I’m Feeling Good!
Okay, I admit it…..I AM a morning person. When I wake up, I don’t feel the need to pull the blanket over my head and long for just a few more minutes in bed. In fact, I don’t even need an alarm clock — mine is built-in — usually, right on time between 6:00 am…
How BIG is Easter?
Tomorrow is Easter! And, of course, the reason Easter is the most important day on the Christian calendar is because of the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, from the dead. It is the most important event in the history of this world and the entire universe. True HOPE was established by…
Good Friday = DAY of all DAYS
You know the feelings…you, or someone you love is hurting so much, or your closest family member has passed away…..and it seems everywhere you look people are just fine — they’re laughing, they’re carefree, they’re going on with their busy lives, and you think, “How could all that be going on when I’m hurting, or…
Improve Your “Serve”
It’s Holy Thursday – and we recount the Last Supper when Jesus, the greatest of ALL, was servant of ALL, as He washed His disciples’ feet. He, with the towel and basin, is the KING of the universe. The same hands that shaped the earth, the stars and the moon, washed away grime and filth.…
Your Greatest ASK; His Greatest YES
Wednesday of Holy Week: The disciples must have been awestruck when Jesus said, “One of YOU will betray me.” Except for Judas, the eleven must have each thought, “Not me! I would never betray, deny or leave you.” But as we all know, their loyalty to Jesus was short-lived. And that scene is one that…
Mary’s Alabaster Box = Audacious Love
Monday of Holy Week: “Mary took a liter of costly perfumed oil made from genuine aromatic nard and anointed the feet of Jesus and dried them with her hair; the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.” (John 12:3) So beautiful was this story, and also, how revealing this story was as we…
