Some time ago I got a raw egg out of the refrigerator to make some gluten-free pancakes and a leftover boiled egg to eat by itself. I set the eggs on the counter, and went to do something else. When I came back to the kitchen, I thought I remembered which egg was which. I… Read More Day 173- Thankful for lessons about truth from a boiled egg
Today I was revisited by voices of the past that still sometimes come to the present. These voices say, “You are not worth my time. If you’re not doing it our way, then you’re doing it wrong, and therefore are not worthy of our attention.” This took me back to years gone by, to painful… Read More Day 119 – Thankful I can build on a Firm Foundation
Do you ever get discouraged because it seems like you are not important? Truth be told, most people probably feel that way at some time in their life. I’ve been there, too, and still hear that little lying “voice” in the back of my mind once in a while. When I came back from France… Read More Day 88 Thankful for the value and importance of one
This evening my husband and youngest son decided to play Minecraft together, so I asked my daughter if she wanted to watch a movie. We didn’t want to watch one that we’ve already seen, so I looked at the selection to rent at Redbox. It’s really hard to find movies that don’t somehow make me… Read More Day 83 – Thankful for wholesome movies to watch with children
I don’t like it any better than the next person that danger exists in this world. But if it has to exist, I sure am glad that there are ways of being warned. Danger can come from various sources and harm us in more or less visible ways. Sometimes we get very visible warnings, like… Read More Day 81 – Thankful for red flags
For quite some time a movement has been afoot pushing the ideology that there is NO absolute truth. They have been pushing it in our high schools and colleges as truth (huh? Isn’t there something wrong with this picture?), and a lot of young people just soak it up and don’t even think to challenge… Read More Absolute Truth
As our family was driving through the beautiful mountains of Tennessee a couple of years ago, we happened upon this sign. It struck me as funny that somebody would embrace their grumpiness so much that they would make a sign introducing themselves as such, so I quickly took a picture of it! In the region… Read More Grumpy or Grace?
When I was a child, we used to sing a song that went something like this: “Be careful little eyes what you see, Be careful little eyes what you see, For the Father up above is looking down in love, So be careful little eyes what you see.” That’s what I sang. I sang the… Read More Love vs. Fear
Hello! Welcome to Worship with me! For those of you who are fairly new to the blog, I’ve been doing these worship posts fairly regularly for over a year.

This is a reblog of a worship prayer that I wrote more than two years ago before I started the “Worship with me” series, so most of you have not read it yet. “Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul; and all that is [deepest] within me, bless His holy name! Who redeems… Read More Worship with me #41
