A Conflict of What’s Best

How do you make decisions? I suspect we all go through the same process. I recently had a terrific offer, but had to say no. It saddened me to do so, but I think God is showing me some new things. Hope this helps someone. Continue reading

Just One Whine Theory

Everyone deals with big problems and small set-backs differently, but I need ‘Just One Whine.” Continue reading

God’s All

I’ve written on this subject before, But it keeps popping up in all the devotional spots in my life, And is being addressed by other people I’m around, So I am again addressing the divisions people insist on drawing. So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, 27 for all of… Continue reading

An Ungratefully Received Gift

I was again reminded so much of our life needs to be based on being grateful to God, even when it’s not obvious. A book called “One Thousand Gifts” reminds us even our salvation is based on first believing God sent Jesus and being thankful for the sacrifice Jesus made. I don’t know I have… Continue reading

Holy Week Mixed Feelings

Holy Week has always been difficult for me. After all I’m the person who cries over touching commercials. I don’t handle Hallmark Channel well, but I’ve come to know this week and Easter does hold something for me, and I hope some new idea or a reminder of things for you. A blessed week and… Continue reading

HALFWAY GIVERS

The ideal of Christian living is giving myself totally to God. We all talk about it, but it’s never been easy for me to do it in reality. What does it look like for me? We like to think we fully trust God immediately after becoming a Christian. But sometimes what’s possible and what really… Continue reading

The Past Is Gone, But…?

Yeah, sure, the past is gone and tomorrow never comes, so just be in the moment…. live for today. In a sense that is true. But somehow the richness of life is lost when we try so hard to put away all the past. As Christians the past can become a foundation. The reminder of… Continue reading

“Whatever….”

The new year does something to us. It stirs something in us. We always have hope for something new, even if we are doing the same things. I don’t know why we think this will magically happen. I decided to go a different direction and say ‘whatever’ to God. But it’s not quite the disconnect… Continue reading

The Spirit of Thankfulness

What if I quit listing things that I’m thankful and just sigh, “God, thank you for my whole life?” Not as much fun, but wonderfully all encompasing. Blessings to all. Continue reading
