Because I Can — Because We Can
It was cold enough for gloves and warm jacket, but I went for an early morning long walk, with earbuds in my ears and praise and worship music kicked up in high gear. I was flailing my arms and high-stepping it. Why would I do that? Because I can. I was listening to the song…
Not the Usual Pomp on this Palm Sunday
Growing up, I was always so thrilled for the start of Holy Week on Palm Sunday. The readings, the story of the shouts of praise and hosannas, the palms, and the pomp. I loved it because Palm Sunday led to Easter Sunday when I would get to wear my new Easter ensemble. attend the Easter…
I Want to be a Pointer
Okay. I’ll admit it. Some days I struggle with humility. I get so fixated on who commented or liked or loved my blog, that I fail to remember it is HE Who deserves all the honor and praise. Less of me, more of Him. That I might decrease and He increase. We’ve been talking about…
Offering Sacrifices of Praise is Sometimes All We’ve Got

Where Two Shall Agree….
I’m in my cozy chair all set for my morning devotion and prayer time and I remember the sweetest surprise last weekend.

I know, however, Thanksgiving isn’t always a joyous and thankful time for everyone. I know that life is going terribly wrong for some people who…
How Do You Fight Your Battles?
How Do You Fight Your Battles? Do you bear any bruises and scars from battles that you may have been in lately– maybe in the political arena or even in your home or workplace? On Sunday, I encountered a very well trained cashier at a store who was courteous, friendly, and even gave me a…
