We Need Mind Control
Oh, but if we had the power to put our minds on “lockdown” when they are being bombarded with negative overload. I’ve found the more I think about something, the stronger it takes hold of me, which is why the Bible teaches “Run from anything that gives you evil thoughts, but stay close to anything…
If You Don’t Use It, You’ll Lose It
My precious mom said to her doctor “Doc, some mornings I just don’t want to get out of bed!” His reply? “The day you decide to do that, count on being bedridden very soon. In essence, he was saying “If you don’t use it – you’ll lose it!” These days – our minds are on…
I Promise You — True Peace is Possible

What is PERFECT Peace?
A couple of weeks ago, I awoke with the words “perfect peace” going on in my mind. I’m always quoting Isaiah 26:3 “You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.” I don’t think I’ve ever thought about PERFECT peace before. What is PERFECT peace? I did…
He Gives His Beloved Sweet Sleep
Day 289 of Photo Inspirations — He Gives His Beloved Sweet Sleep #TBT — This first photo inspiration is one that is so dear to my heart. Our little Payton was beyond tired — he just couldn’t make it through his meal. It was our weekend with Payton and Alexia and that meant action-packed, non-stop…
Lord, I’m Keeping My Eyes On You
Day 272 of Photo Inspirations — Lord, I’m Keeping My Eyes On You I’m home from Seattle, but now on an amazing retreat – no electronics allowed, so my FB posts had to be pre-scheduled. Hopefully, this one posted for today. I loved having special one-on-one time with my two youngest grandsons over the last…
