God Answers Prayer — and Sometimes in an Unexpected Way
Years ago, I fell down a flight of stairs — bumpety bump on my bottom — all the way down. I felt like a compressed-together accordion. I had a serious back injury and lived in pain, even after many medical treatments. For years we prayed for my healing. We had weekly leadership meetings in our…
Prepare Me to be a Sanctuary
Tuesday of Holy Week — Jesus most certainly set the record straight about God’s house being a place of prayer and holiness. When He saw the money changers and merchants selling their wares, He turned over their tables and cleared them out, exclaiming, “God’s house shall be a place of prayer!” Matthew 21:13 Bringing that…
CEO of my Business — CEO of my Life
My tip of the day…..there’s no greater way to begin a new day and week than to have a meeting with the CEO of our business — especially with the desire for success in every way! My CEO is God, my Heavenly Father. Through the years of having early morning commitments, my body just naturally…
Goodness & Mercy Following & Favor Chasing
Really? God’s goodness and mercy are following us? His FAVOR is chasing us? Isn’t that just like our Heavenly Father — pursuing us and chasing us with His desire to bless us and do good things for us? It’s not just enough to be followed by His goodness and mercy. No, He is relentless in…
I Believe I Can Fly — Come Fly With Me!
God really wants us to fly! He wants us to fly free of yesterday’s fears, guilt, disappointments and frustrations. He wants us to fly free of today’s anxieties. He wants us to fly free of tomorrow’s concerns. God moves mountains and He promises to answer our prayers. That’s what He promises in Matthew 21:24 “If…
The Flood Effect
We’ve talked about the “ripple effect” and the trickle down effect, but God wants to release a “flood effect” of His power into our lives like we’ve never seen before. This means we may have difficulties that look extremely large, obstacles that appear impassable, or dreams that seem unattainable. But when God releases a flood…
Maestro (Master Conductor) Make My Life a Symphony!
Have you heard an orchestra tuning up before a concert? How could anything beautiful come from what sounds so disharmonious and chaotic. But, then, it all changes! The Maestro appears and you hear a tap, tap, tap of his baton. And, voila, suddenly the chaos turns to the most melodic, rhythmic, harmonious, sweet sounding and…
The Show Must Go On!!
The Show Must Go On! (aka…. Life Must Go On!) One year ago this coming Wednesday, November 16th, my Honey got the thrill of a lifetime, his Bucket List was completed, and he got his ticket for the ride he’d waited for, earned, deserved, and was awarded. He got to go Home to Heaven. As…
Our Great Roller Coaster Ride
I’ve always loved the thrill of the craziest, wild rides at amusement parks. Maybe that’s why becoming a private pilot was no big deal for me. So relating our faith journey to a roller coast makes perfect sense. For over 43 years, Ron and I have had ministry opportunities to many people — encouraging them…
Our Great Faith Adventure Begins…..
This is Ron, my fit, strong, healthy, optimistic, husband, best friend and lover for over 43 years. And the other one in the photo is me, Donna (aka Mom and Nana — to a wonderful son and daughter and six precious grandchildren). Fast forward to April, 2010…..for the last few weeks our family has had…
