A Fire. A Journal. A Blessing.
A few days ago, my daughter sent me this text message: “Do you know when the fire in our home was?” Of course, she could ask me that because she knows about my daily journal writing. It’s a routine that I’ve been quite consistent with for decades. I write about significant details of my day,…
My Anchor Has Holding Power
I prayed with a friend a few days ago, and out of the blue (that “blue” being heaven, I’m sure) I said: “Lord, anchor her so she doesn’t drift with the winds and the storms. May her anchor hold fast and no matter the winds and the waves, may she stand strong, unscathed and unwavering.”…
My Shelter is Solid Rock
Yesterday, sweetest memories flooded my mind from 2010. In Cabo, I woke early each morning to take in the magnificent sunrise on the crashing waves. I would find the cleft of the rock formations to sit beneath. How sweet was the presence of my loving Father there – especially as He restored my soul, for…
What is Your Foundation Built Upon?
Is Your Home Built on Firm Foundation? I heard a riveting sermon yesterday about foundations – of buildings, homes, AND people. When prevailing winds and storms come (and they will), what is it that keeps structures firmly standing? What is it that gives the strength, will, and determination to outlast the storms of life? Remember…
Build Your House on Solid Rock FOUNDATION
My Word for Today is FOUNDATION: the base on which something stands. Remember the story of the Three Little Pigs? The scandalous words that raised our concern for the little pigs were “And the wolf huffed and puffed and blew the house down.” That children’s story described the plight of those tormented little pigs after…
He’s Rock Solid
I had written this post and then in my City of Frisco “Waterwise” email for yesterday was this paragraph: “Solid as a Rock”. The long, hot, dog days of summer are upon us! Rain is less frequent and the high temperatures are taking their toll on our landscape. For many people not familiar with life…
Where is Your Safe Zone?
With the sun up, I could assess any damages around my place from the violent winds in the thunderstorms and tornadic activity that came through Tulsa on Tuesday night. Except for a lot of petals from my rose bush on the ground, it seemed all was well. Thanks be to God. When I turned on…
ROCK Solid Foundation
“And the wolf huffed and puffed and blew the house down.” That’s a line from “The 3 Little Pigs”, a children’s story where one little pig built his house with straw, another built his house with sticks and the third built his house with bricks. We all know the story — the first two pigs’…
I Go To The Rock!
Does life seem overwhelming to you today? The deadline is long past, and you’re still endeavoring to get the project done? Are the kids more than a handful and you don’t think the new school year can come too soon? Did you get a pink slip from your employer and you wonder how you and…
