The Fast Track to Blessings
I’m still on track in reading the Bible through in one year and I couldn’t go through the book of Exodus without reading about the commandments that God gave to Moses to pass on to the Israelites. What was God thinking? Ten Commandments to live by? Weren’t they just suggestions? After all, we have just…
Bam Wham Computer Down!
Nothing like starting the day with great expectancy and promise. Then all it takes is one major kink in the hose, so to speak, to stop the flow. And, in my case, it was bam, wham and my computer was down. That means a call for 911 computer help! Fortunately, that day last week happened…
My Safety Deposit Box is Secure
For years, my husband and I had many important documents in a safety deposit box at our bank. Ours held only documents, but my dear friend had some very precious, rare, expensive jewelry in hers. I wondered “Why have those items if they can’t be worn or used?” But to both of us, we didn’t…
Oh, But for the Mercy of God!
I’ve heard people say “Lorrrd, have mercy!” as a quick retort when yet another “I can’t believe it” circumstance happens. In reality, that is what we should say, rather pray, anytime we encounter a roadblock, a rock landslide, “rocked my world” or rock crazy situations going on in our world. God is our ROCK in…
Are We So Spoiled Because We’re So Blessed?
I am here for my volunteer work at Children’s Hospital and it starts out slow this morning. The radiology techs give me a sweet card of thanks and a great set of earbuds. I am blessed. I have time to read my scriptures for today and then have an “aha” moment. In Acts 3:26, Peter…
You’re Being Watched. Be Very Careful
A few days ago, my granddaughter, Alexia, said, “Nana, I think Mom has eyes in the back of her head. She knows everything I’m doing.” I had to agree with her because the truth be known, I’m sure her mother uses her spiritual eyes — her intuition, knower, and discerner that keeps a watch out…
When We’re Afraid to Trust Him
You may have witnessed our “family” mishap a few weeks ago. Our “stud muffin” Buddy (The Wallace Family’s 75-pound Australian Shepherd) had a precious, equally beautiful, female Australian Shepherd come from Austin for a lovefest. In case you’re not following my delicate way of putting it, Moana’s master brought her to start a family of…
God’s Road Map — the Surest Way to Stay on Course
Road Map – a map, a plan or strategy intended to reach and achieve a particular goal………..A couple of weeks ago I was asked to share my favorite daily devotion with a group of new Christians. It was easy for me to share, because this “book” has been my daily “road map” all my life.…
To Everything, There is a Season
On Sunday, I attended church in cool, Fall-like weather. In Florida, churches were closed because of Hurricane Irma fast approaching. I barbecued outdoors and served my family dinner and special cake for Alexia’s 10th day leading up to her Sweet 16. In Florida, many families were dispersed to shelters, hunkered down in their homes or…
What is Your Ultimate Protection Guarantee?
While Staci called Poison Control, Larry called me to pray for Payton (10 years old at the time) who had been stung by a scorpion four times and each of the places was turning red and swelling up. Immediately, I remembered our son, Ryan, was stung by a scorpion on his foot. I gave Larry…
