Paris – the City of Lights
How fitting that Paris hosts the 2024 Summer Olympics. John 1:5 says, “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” As I watched the athletes, I saw that light shining brightly. The opening ceremony was a spectacle of monumental proportions, even as rain poured on athletes navigating the Seine River…
Miracles in our Midst
I don’t want this blog to alienate anyone who isn’t on the same page as us. We are all children of God. That is what matters most. I am married to an unrelenting, bold, determined and true patriot. He is all about the “land of the free and the home of the brave”. He served…
Miracles Still Happen
And, the wait is worth it. Over the multi-years of my life, I have faced insurmountable times of worry, defeat, dealt with problems that couldn’t be solved, health issues that seemed hopeless, and many things that I couldn’t understand. A miracle was needed and sometimes it felt like it was too little, too late, and…
Hanging Out at the Well
Jesus sat by a well. Jacob’s well. Jacob gave that well to his son, Joseph. So, what well are WE digging for OUR children? Jesus is on purpose. He is waiting on a woman. This woman with a past comes at noon because she doesn’t want to deal with the talk of others. Jesus says…
Eyes Wide Open to Notice Miracles
I have a friend who reminds herself each day to “notice small miracles.” This isn’t only a phrase that she recalls to mind, but rather an attitude that she has chosen as a theme for her life. She started the practice of noticing moments of goodness and beauty during a time of a family crisis,…
God, My Husband and My Chiropractor
I am by no means comparing my chiropractor to God, but I have noticed both have similarities. Years ago, I fell down a flight of stairs — 12 steps from top to bottom…..on MY bottom. The breath was knocked out of me and I felt like a compressed-together accordion. I had a serious back injury…
Don’t Give Up Too Soon
“Don’t give up, on the brink of a miracle!Don’t give in, God is still on the throne!Don’t give up, on the brink of a miracle!Don’t give in, remember you’re not alone!” That was a song we sang as a confession of believing “NOTHING – no-thing – is impossible with God!” On a personal note…..I can’t…
God’s Not Dead — He’s Fully ALIVE!
And, He’s living on the inside; roaring like a lion. Praise God! The tomb is empty! The tomb wasn’t for the dead after all. It was a Delivery Room for our LIVING Savior! SURPRISE, Satan! God’s NOT dead – He’s fully ALIVE! Miracle of all miracles. The Apostle Peter said in Acts 2:24 “God raised…
She’s Getting a New Heart Today
You may remember a blog I wrote on May 4th this year. I shared about the valiant walk of faith that some of my dear Tulsa sisters-in-Christ were taking on behalf of another beloved sister-in-Christ, Becky Holder. Becky must have a heart transplant, but finding a match has been quite the wait. Literally, these resilient…
Barring a Miracle
I’ve been wanting to share this sweet story for some time, but now seems the perfect time. I want this to be a hope-builder for my friends who are praying and believing for miracles in their lives. The phrase “Nothing is impossible with God” isn’t just a cliché. It comes from words spoken to Mary,…
