HELP! If You Have a Great Passage – Send it my Way!
When we are far removed from the turmoil and fear that others go through during storms, tornadoes, torrential rains and now flooding, we pray and give positive thoughts and hopes for them, but still, we’re not in the middle of it. It’s not touching us, so we go on about our business. But this is…
I Hear You, But I’m Not Listening
A concerned husband went to his doctor and said, “Doc, I think my wife is going deaf. What can I do?” The doctor replies: “Go home and stand 15 feet from her and speak to her. If she doesn’t reply, move 5 feet closer and say it again. Keep doing this so we’ll get an…
Taking the High Ground with Kindness
After I finished my blog and posted it about “watching our words on the battlefield”, yesterday, I read this daily email from a ministry. It was the “icing on the cake” of what I had said in my blog: “I call you, My people, to be kind to one another. The world is filled with…
We Don’t Know What to Do, But Our Eyes Are on You
We live in a mighty crazy, shaky world. Everything seems to be going our way when, in a moment’s notice, we can be gripped with fear, concern, and worry.

Behind Locked Doors Because of Fear
I’m so happy the Easter Story doesn’t end with the resurrection. There’s so much more! The next verse in John 20:19 says this: “That Sunday evening the disciples were meeting behind locked doors because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders.” They locked the door, they shut themselves off, they locked away the world. Out…
My Shelter is Solid Rock
Yesterday, sweetest memories flooded my mind from 2010. In Cabo, I woke early each morning to take in the magnificent sunrise on the crashing waves. I would find the cleft of the rock formations to sit beneath. How sweet was the presence of my loving Father there – especially as He restored my soul, for…
A Fragrance That Leaves You Wanting More
As I made my way to my second-row seat at church last Sunday, I couldn’t help but notice this exquisite floral masterpiece at the altar. Not only was I taken with the enormity of the arrangement and the vast array of colorful flowers and greenery, but the fragrant aroma of the flowers filled the air.…
Welcome to my Wild Frontier!
Maybe not the frontier, but it’s sure been wild at my place. I have felt like Annie Oakley in my determination to rid my home of an outlaw squirrel. This wildlife adventure began several weeks ago when I heard scratching outside my window. I went out to my patio and saw all kinds of wood…
??People Are Like Cheetos??
I saw this graphic, and whoa-la, my inspiration for today’s post! That’s how I roll – a billboard, words of a speaker or friend, a personal predicament or blessing, a dream, another friend’s post, a fleeting thought – all of which are who or what gives me the inspiration for my daily blog. Most of…
