Look UP!

But a gem was pointed out this week, and maybe it will also help you to put… Continue reading

Wednesday and Thursday’s Prayer

This prayer can apply to Thursday as well as Wednesday. To me these two days get lost in the shuffle in looking forward to the weekend. I remember one of the churches my Dad pastored had Thursday evening prayer meeting instead of Wednesday. But the point is doing something everyday to better ourselves. Blessings. Continue reading

Personal Babylon

Ever wake up one morning and feel like things have changed so much you are in you own Personal Babylon? (Inspired by the DISCIPLINES devotional.) These days things change so fast you don’t have to be very old to know old answers no longer work, and new is always just around the corner. We rebel,… Continue reading

Respect: One Simple Thing

I’ve gone off the deep end again. But again, the devotional places in my life have been talking about the same things, so here I go. I hope you take something away with you. 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

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

Sometmes Quietly

I love the days of quiet spirit. I sometimes forget to write about them, concentrating of the ‘urge to vent’ or get out the churning ideas and feelings. But today I record the quiet days feeling… enjoy. 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

My Way or God’s Way

I have often noticed how we as humans do things backwards from the way God does. Is 55:8 aludes to that, and the whole chapter is about God’s work. This devotion is the result of several things I’ve read lately about people who love animals and hate people, who love a cause and kill to… Continue reading
