The Great Rectifier
I had one of those eye-opening moments that made me stop and ponder the lesson I learned. I realized how easily my emotions can get tangled up. One minute I’m calm and collected, and the next minute my feelings are marching in like they own the place. And if I’m being honest, sometimes I really…
Let’s have a Different Spirit
If there were ever a season that calls for a different spirit, it’s Christmas. And no, I don’t mean the decorating-till-midnight kind of spirit (although that can be fun). I’m talking about the spirit God pointed out in Numbers 14:24 when He said: “But My servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit and has…
Giant Slayer Training Starts in the Fields
David was the youngest of eight brothers, a shepherd boy armed with nothing more than a sling, some stones, and a whole lot of confidence in his God. To most, he was just an errand boy — delivering bread and cheese to the real warriors. But what his brothers didn’t see — and what Goliath…
The Donkey and the Hosannas
Last Sunday, we were in awe watching The Chosen — Season 5’s first episode. As “Jesus,” portrayed so powerfully by Jonathan Roumie, rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, the crowds erupted in expectation. “Hosanna!” they shouted, waving palm branches with a fevered hope that He had come to fix it all. Our hearts swelled too,…
It’s Not Over Till It’s Over
Carl and I had front-row seats (well, sofa seats) for the Sweet Sixteen showdown: #3 Texas Tech Red Raiders vs. the #11 Arkansas Razorbacks. Now, I’m a faithful fan — until I’m not. From the git-go, it felt like David versus Goliath… except Goliath was wearing Razorback red, blocking every shot and grabbing every rebound.…
We Win – No Matter What!
It’s Super Bowl Sunday, and the stakes are high! The Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles are facing off, led by two outstanding quarterbacks: Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts. But what makes them truly great is their unwavering faith in Jesus. They each discussed their faith during a news conference last Tuesday. Mahomes spoke…
A Brand New Life
Last June, my son’s family’s precious 14-year-old Havanese, Bentley, went to doggy heaven. We closed that chapter of caring for him and making him feel comfortable, but the love for him will never leave us. We’ll forever cherish the precious memories of Bentley growing up with my four Wuerch grandsons. It really is like losing…
We are the Champions
Two years ago, I purchased an Oura ring. It’s a good fitness tracker, counts my daily steps, shows me my sleep patterns, how well I sleep, or NOT, and helps me maintain a good heart rate. A couple of days ago my husband asked, “How was your sleep last night?” I quickly pulled out my…
Mighty Warrior! Who Me?
As I read about Gideon in the Book of Judges, I knew a blog was in the making. I sensed it coming from Heaven Central. And, I knew it was meant for my friends who are hurting from disappointment, lost dreams, sickness, defeat and worry! Trouble, BIG trouble was all Gideon could see. He was…
Is it in my Genes?
I had three siblings who graduated to heaven; two of them had Alzheimer’s disease and the other had Diabetes so severe that she lost one foot to the disease. My Mom, now in heaven, had congenital heart disease. My Dad, also in heaven, had a malignant brain tumor. Goodness gracious! With that family medical history,…
