A Wonder-Filled Life
In 1921, the Taggert Baking Company of Indianapolis was about to launch its 1.5 pound loaf of bread. Elmer Cline was charged with finding a name for the new bread. Inspiration struck while he was visiting the International Balloon Race at the Indianapolis Speedway. He was awestruck by a sky filled with hundreds of colorful…
Let’s Talk About It Some More
I mean. Let’s talk about what the resurrection of our Lord really means to us. I can’t let it go. The resurrection of our Lord changes everything. He proved NOTHING is impossible with God. He proved that what He said would be. Jesus said to Martha after her brother, Lazarus died and was buried: “I…
Finishing Strong is What Matters
For Super Bowl fans, you already know the outcome, but for the rest who it didn’t matter and didn’t watch the big game, I’m breaking the news to you that the Kansas City Chiefs overcame a 10-point deficit in the last few minutes of overtime to win and become the first back-to-back Super Bowl champion…
Stealth Superpowers
I’m sure you’ve heard about the petite woman who was able to lift the car off her child who was pinned under it. The people who have done that kind of feat, accomplished an almost unthinkable amount of strength. I read this in Psychology Today: “The human body can unleash some amazing RESERVES that deadens…

Yesterday I had my annual eye check up. Thanks be to God I can still see! Ever hear someone say: “I’ll believe it when I see it!” or “Seeing is believing!” That isn’t the posture that pleases God. He is all about seeing but not how well we see with our physical eyes. He wants…

God Sees the Big Picture
Dear friends of mine, sequestered like the rest of us, found that putting a jigsaw puzzle together is a great way to make the most of this at-home time. They chose a 1,000 smaller-pieces puzzle. Far more challenging than 500-pieces like I usually choose! They started off all gung ho – displaying on FB when…
Browsing Brings Blessings for a Blog
DREAM, PLAY, GIVE, SMILE, CHERISH — truly words to live by. This wall mural got my attention while shopping at the At Home Store. This is the way I really want to live! Embracing this one life with as much gusto as I can. DREAM like there are no impossibilities. Nothing is impossible with God…
He Goes Above and Beyond
Yesterday, I spoke about the “exceeding abundantly” greatness of God. He goes above and beyond all we could ask or think – when we move out of the way – and let Him step into lives. I’ll tell you some more of those times in ours. Our daughter was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis as a…
And They Said It Couldn’t Be Done
Famous last words to those who solve a problem, who win a competition, who finally conceive a baby, who conquer a mountain, who get completely healed, who discover a cure, who invent something that really works. NEVER should we EVER say “It can’t be done” or “I can’t do that” or ANYTHING when God says…
