Peace — Stay There!
We’ve arrived at the SERENE shores of Prince Edward Island, separated from mainland Canada, nestled in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Though a full review of our time here will come tomorrow, today, I revel in the word “serene.” Serenity brings to mind images of calm waters and tranquil breezes, a state where one can…
Let’s Eat
You ought to see us at our Thursday night’s Mix and Mingle. I mean those of us who live at Everleigh Lakeline 60+ community. You would think that we were starving birds in the wilderness as we line up to fill our plates with another scrumptious meal. Let’s eat! We love those words! They mean…
Peace be with You
I love those words — the words of speaking peace over someone. And isn’t that what this world needs – living in a state of God’s peace that passes all understanding, regardless of circumstances or places we happen to be in at any given time? Isn’t it inspiring to listen to the faith journeys of…
Who Cares?
Let’s just get straight to the point of that question and give it an answer. God cares! “The LORD is near to those who are discouraged; He saves those who have lost all hope.” (Psalm 34:18) Life is filled with unexpected circumstances. I wish you could see my FB Messenger and the people who reach…
Playing Hide-and-Seek With God
My blog today is a follow-up or Part 2 to yesterday’s blog about the risen Jesus walking through locked doors where His disciples were huddled in fear. He spoke “Peace be with you”. Those are exactly the words they needed to hear! We don’t have to play hide-and-seek with God. You know when we look…
Fear and Locked Doors
Here we are today, one week after Resurrection Sunday. I’m thankful the Easter Story provides us with even more chilling and awe-inspiring true stories beyond the resurrection. John the Apostle wrote this in John 20:19 — “That evening of the first day of the week, WHEN THE DOORS WERE LOCKED, where the disciples were, for…
Peace. Be Still.
Troubled in your heart and soul today? Wondering how you can solve this problem or circumstance or make that hard decision? Perhaps, today, it’s time to slow down and let your mind rest and trust in the Peace-Maker! Remember Jesus saying the words “Peace. Be still!” to the winds and the waves? “Then He arose…
Have You Had a “There was Jesus” Moment?
If you have a play list or listen to the radio, I’m sure you’ve heard Christian singer and songwriter Zach Williams singing with country legend Dolly Parton, ‘There Was Jesus.’ Zach, after years as a heavy rocker with drug addiction, turned to God. It was his “There was Jesus” moment because from that moment on,…
Our Secret Place
I receive daily emails from a ministry that sincerely seeks God for His daily thoughts. These were the words God gave them for us yesterday that really resonated within my heart: “When you feel vulnerable, make a concerted effort to do what it takes to be as safe as possible. However, you must not forget…
Dr. Whirlwind and Dr. Peace — Relax. Trust Me.
Six years ago my sweetheart was in for another hospital adventure. We were still learning some very important lessons on our faith journey. I needed an extra dose of peace yesterday, so I thought about those lessons. I had some good reminders and thought maybe my FB family could use some of those lessons too.…
