The Whatevers

I still chuckle when I think back to my teenagers’ classic retort: “WHATEVER!” It was usually delivered with a hefty dose of eye-rolling and a sigh that could fill a room. A harmless way of saying, “Your opinion doesn’t quite make my playlist, Mom!” But today, I want to talk about a different kind of…

People Pleasers or God Pleasers

Paul the Apostle gave us his answer to being a people pleaser or God pleaser. “I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant.” Galatians 1:10 People-pleasing is not a virtue many of us strive to cultivate. People-influencing or people-winning…

Blame it on Purple

In 2012 I was known as the “Purple Mom”. That was because of a business I was in, and my son was the CEO of that company. The color of the company’s logo was purple so in building my business, I wore a lot of purple. I was fully invested in that company, and you…

Giddy Up and Go!

All these seniors graduating high school and college have sure inspired me. From personal experience, I know God has an exciting life plan for them AND us! AND it’s not just in our dreams!

Let the Joy Bells Ring

Today is the third Sunday of Advent and we should be singing “Go Tell It on the Mountain”! Well, not necessarily from a mountain. That would mean we’d have to go climbing! Perhaps we can start right here at ground zero to be joy-filled and full of the good news of Christ’s coming to this…

Are You Contented?

I’d like you to believe that “I have learned, in whatsoever state I am in, to be content.” (Philippians 4:11) That means we are satisfied with the life or situation we are in. But those are Paul the Apostle’s words – not mine. I’ll admit I can find myself less than contented. Today my sweetheart…

Feeling Pampered Today?

Someone asked how I could possibly devote so much time to my blog every day – 365 days a year. I know God gave me this mission to be an encourager and a light in the darkness. I promised to fulfill that mission from the get-go. My “ministry” platform just happens to be on social…

Oh, Yes, My Dear – You ARE a Star!

At my weekly Bible study group, we were discussing the famous words: “Abram believed the LORD, and He credited it to him as righteousness.” (Genesis 15:6) And then Paul the Apostle added “So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.” (Galatians 3:6,9) Those words pack a punch. Abraham…
