Intimacy — Behind the Scenes
For years, social media has been the space where I deposit my musings aka blogs. I have thoroughly enjoyed sharing the Lord’s faithfulness through every season – especially the season that got this blog party started. It was a season that could have left me feeling alone, forgotten, disappointed, heart-broken and in despair. Instead, it…
In God We Trust
Psalm 91 has been my go to: 911 number for years. Get it? Psalm 91:1 “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” It is my 911 call for daily protection for my loved ones and myself. The whole chapter is about “In God…
Heading to my Secret Place
This morning, my grandson’s girl friend and I, will soon be boarding our flight for Cabo San Lucas. We’ll be joining the rest of the family after a week of guy fun. Brennan (turning 18 on July 2nd) was able to take six of his buddies with him to celebrate his birthday. The guys go…
And They’ll Know We are Christians by our Love
You may have noticed that I have been keen on the love theme in my blogs this month. After all, it is the love month! Nevertheless, I must admit my love battery needs a charge. My attention to details has been diverted and I’ve neglected to pay attention to matters that need serious attention and…
Calgon, Take Me Away
Remember that vintage commercial “Calgon, take me away?” The commercial shows an irritated woman with a newsreel playing in her head of her plight: the traffic piling up, the boss yelling, the baby crying, and the dog barking. She exclaims: “That does it! Calgon, take me away!” The next scene is of her in a…
Our Secret Place
I receive daily emails from a ministry that sincerely seeks God for His daily thoughts. These were the words God gave them for us yesterday that really resonated within my heart: “When you feel vulnerable, make a concerted effort to do what it takes to be as safe as possible. However, you must not forget…
Is it NESTING Time or BUY NOW and DO MORE Time?
Oh my! The holiday ads, promotions, and marketing campaigns are amped up. Every day, the message is “buy now for best bargains”, 50% off today only, deal of the day! BUY — BUY — BUY!! There are banners outside stores, ads coming in the mail and tons of them coming through on social media. It…
Welcome to my SANCTUARY!
While having my morning devotion time, I looked at the sign on my fireplace hearth, SANCTUARY, that I see every day. But yesterday it resonated with me more than ever. I looked at the back of it to see when it was that my friend gave it to me. It is dated October 10, 2010.…
You’ve Got a Friend in Me
With six grandchildren, I’ve watch many animated movies and among my favorites was Toy Story. “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” is the theme song. Maybe we should use it as our own theme song: You’ve got a friend in me. You’ve got a friend in me. You’ve got troubles, and I’ve got ’em too…
He Tells Me I’m Never Alone
Because of the 24/7 hours a day of living/working/playing together for most of our 44 years of marriage, I really never knew loneliness, or for that matter, being alone. But, seasons changed when he graduated to heaven and I had the opportunity for both: being alone and being lonely. Great news is I didn’t choose…
