May the 4th Be With You
Happy 4th Sunday of Advent and Happy Christmas Eve! We can join many others who will attend church today to breathe in what all this decorating, baking, shopping, partying, and having family and friend get togethers has been all about. It is unusual for Christmas Eve to fall on a Sunday. We are making the…
Are You a Pumpkin Eater?
Yesterday the 26th, right at the first of the Fall season, was National Pumpkin Day. I am blogging about it after the fact because I saw this info after I posted yesterday’s blog. I read that it takes an acre to harvest 1,000 pumpkins. At 7 cents a pound for an average 20-pound pumpkin, the…
God, Please Breathe on Me
In my prayer time, I said these words “Thank You for your breath, Lord!” What? Where did that come from? To who do we ever say “Thank you for your breath”, because breath can be stinky? But not so with the breath of Jesus. In asking for His breath, I knew that I was asking…
A Thousand Generations
I heard this story and just had to share it with my friends. A busy father was looking for a way to entertain his young daughter. He found a map of the world in a magazine and cut it into pieces. He gave the pieces to his child and suggested she try to piece the…
Harping about Loving
What can we do about this world’s craziness? Let it play out? Or, as Christians, demonstrate radical love so that hurting, misunderstood and broken people will know Jesus by OUR love. Jesus reached His world in three short years. Those years ignited a flame that continues to spread to OUR world. Jesus “harped” on love.…
What Do You Put on Each Day?
Throwing that question out, might make you wonder what I mean. You might think I’m asking about putting on your clothes, your glasses, your deodorant, your cologne or aftershave, your jewelry or shoes or hat. This blog today was inspired by a dear friend who is one of my faithful daily blog followers. Not only…
The Mountain and the Cross
My son kept saying “Mom, I’ve got to take you up the mountain to see the cross! It’s so beautiful up there!” The next day, we were up early (5:30 am) to take in the early morning sunrise! Indeed, the sun rose in all its glory, and the timing was perfect. It was well worth…
Being Willing to be Interrupted
It’s been a long, tiring day. You’re almost to the end of it and you just want to chill – turn on the television to escape to another world. Aw! It feels so good to get off your feet when — just like that — the phone rings. The caller ID tells you that it’s…
Love is an Action Word
My son is a speed reader. He must be. With his businesses and on the board of several companies, he must read and review tons of documents and correspondence. If he wasn’t a speed reader, he’d be bogged down with more paperwork than he could handle. I’ve become a speed reader, too! And there lies…
A Striking Resemblance
People often say my daughter resembles me and my granddaughter resembles her, and I resemble my mother. It’s undeniable – we were all cast from the same mold. My son is undeniably, His dad’s son. They resemble each other. While I love that compliment “Your daughter and granddaughter certainly look like you” – most importantly…
