I CONFESS I LOVE MY LIFE

I just returned from our yearly journey home and, as usual came back filled with gratitude for the life God has allowed me. This is a re-post from 2011, when I first really realized i wouldn’t trade with anyone. (Had a lovely time, though, thank you for asking.) Continue reading

God Is Not MY God (Alone)

Not long ago, we attended a service completely unlike what I’m used to, yet undeniably full of God’s presence. I love it when that happens. I was reminded of the scope of God’s work while remaining the intense personal God we serve. 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

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

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.
