My hubby and I recently went on a trip to Alaska. If I had a Bucket List, experiencing Alaska would have been at the very top! It was GLORIOUS to see what God’s creative hand produced. And boy, does God have a creative hand! Just seeing and hearing about the untamed nature in full displayContinue reading “I’ll Meet You at the Ice Cream Bar!”

Scary Words
Those are some scary words! Words that make the average person want to stop reading. Okay, almost everyone, average or not, wants to cover their eyes and ignore those words. I recently read a story about an ostrich that a lion was chasing. The ostrich ran and ran, and then he found a beautifully deep hole in the groundContinue reading “Scary Words”
The Transformation of Suffering
It has been a tough several weeks around here- I won’t go into the specifics, but I imagine you have had weeks like that, too. Some big, hard, unimaginable things (the kind that stops your breathing) and minor, irritating things collided in the perfect storm. Amid all the chaos in and around my life at this moment,Continue reading “The Transformation of Suffering”
The Cold Storage
“And he said, Every teacher of religious law who becomes a disciple in the Kingdom of Heaven is like a homeowner who brings from his storeroom new gems of truth as well as old.” Matthew 13:52 My daughter and I were out to lunch the other day, and she asked me a question: Mom, howContinue reading “The Cold Storage”
Be Alert, Be Present!
Isaiah 43:19 I have been trying something a little new for me. I have been listening to the Bible in The Message on Bible.com. So, this morning, while making chocolate chip cookies for our four grandboys, who are coming for a sleepover tonight, I turned on the app and began to listen. Listening to TheContinue reading “Be Alert, Be Present!”
I invite you into____________.
So here is the thing: Our invitation to God reminds us He is near! It reminds us that God is right in the mix with us. And it gives God our full and complete submission to go to work.
Filling in the Gap!
I remember my college days. I was young and impressionable, and although I had been educated for 12 or more years by then, I was green, naïve, and gullible. It is true for all of us. We think we know it all, and then we realize, well, maybe not! This seems a rite of passage for so many of us. Acting so informed yet being completely ignorant.
Don’t Do It!
Jeremiah 45 The prophet Jeremiah gave a message to Baruch son of Neriah in the fourth year of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, after Baruch had written down everything Jeremiah had dictated to him. He said, 2 “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to you, Baruch: 3 You haveContinue reading “Don’t Do It!”
The Powerful Word
This is where I want to stand and shout—Go, Jeremiah!!! When writing my book, I once thought I had lost all my writing. It was only momentarily, but my heart sank, and I wondered if I had what it would take to do a rewrite. My fleeting thought was no way!! Luckily, the “finder app” on my computer revealed its whereabouts.
Aye Yai Yai!
Happy Tuesday! The spirit-filled life is a life that is full, abundant, overflowing and oh, SO good! Sadly, we also can be content in our sin and miss the good things God has for us. So, today let’s take a minute and let God speak to us about our lives. Let’s put our ear to the pavement and listen.
