Who Do You Think You Are?
When Jesus spoke to the people, He boldly declared, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12). Jesus was defining Himself when He said those words. Throughout the Bible, Jesus consistently described who He was: the door, the bread…
Would We Be So Bold?
Would We Be So Bold?I saw this brave young man’s story and had to pay it forward. Five days after he graduated from Campbell County High School in Kentucky, Micah Price finally received his diploma. It had been withheld because he went off script in his commencement speech last Friday. He encouraged his classmates to…
Getting Connected
When I was a widow traveling alone between Tulsa and Austin, I made sure jumper cables were in my auto’s emergency kit. I only used those cables just a couple of times. Amazing what one can do, when they are the only one who is there to do it! As many know, the answer for…
How’s it Going with Filling in the Blanks?
We had a sweet get-together with my Ryan and Shawntel a couple of days ago. It was to fill in the blanks of our lives. The ones we’ve missed because of our busy schedules. Both couples have been so busy we have only spoken in occasional phone calls or text messages. That just wasn’t enough…
Time for Boxing
Christmas Day was special for us at Epiphany Ranch, and then the day after, the 26th, after a yummy brisket lunch, we headed home to celebrate Christmas with our Canadian family members who have been here celebrating our American holiday traditions. Them being here reminds me of Canada’s statutory holiday on December 26th called Boxing…
This Just Wasn’t MY Plan
What happens when our intentions, our goals, or our plans goes awry? “This isn’t what I (or we) planned!” How well I remember that place of feeling stuck. Our lives were not going the way we had planned. Although it was always the greatest desire of our hearts to trust the Father completely, trusting wasn’t…
Loving from the Inside Out
I’m a morning person by choice. I’m up and at ‘em at 4am or 5am and posting my blog. I know that I am an anomaly to those who have late-sleeping patterns. I’ve been up for a while when our continental breakfast bar is open at 8 am. Yesterday, I went over to grab something…
Close Encounters of the Best Kind
I’m a storyteller and the best story I tell is about the very up close and personal encounter I had with Jesus when I was just eight years old. I never get tired of sharing it. It’s a short story and to the point. I remember it like it was yesterday. I was just eight…
How Deep is Your Well?
I sure like it when I can just keep rollin’ on! This blog was inspired by yesterday’s blog where I spoke of our mission fields being right where we are at any given moment. It’s the one-foot square of humble, sacred earth beneath our feet. In other words, where we are is our mission field.…
The Bright and Morning Star
I apologize right up front for another sky-view blog. I can’t seem to help myself. I think I’ve officially become an earth-moon-sun- star-gazer! I blame it on God Who keeps awing me every morning. I’m grateful I have His attention, because it would be misery to face blogging every day and wondering “What is there…
