Day 237- Thankful for road crews that do their job well

Back in February I mentioned a certain road that I have driven on for years. It has enough of a hill that road crews have to use a lot of ice melt on it during the winter. This causes a lot of potholes by the time spring rolls around, and it is quite a challenge… Read More Day 237- Thankful for road crews that do their job well

Day 232- Thankful for mountains (photos)

I’ve loved the mountains ever since I can remember noticing them. We used to go through them almost every year to visit my grandma and grandpa, my mom’s sister, and her family.  I remember traveling through them when I must have just learned to read; I thought it was so funny that there were so… Read More Day 232- Thankful for mountains (photos)

Day 214- Thankful for the 3-light lesson

Back during summer vacation last year when a lot of people a were away out of town, I was standing with the congregation as we sang a song. I noticed, since no one was standing in front of me, that I had three shadows of me swaying back and forth to the music. I know,… Read More Day 214- Thankful for the 3-light lesson

Day 192-Thankful for the Way Maker

The last few days I’ve had the song “Way Maker”, by Mandisa, running through my head over and over again. Even after I listened multiple times and posted Josh Groban’s song, “You Raise Me Up” in my last post, I still woke up the next morning with “Way Maker” running through my head. The part… Read More Day 192-Thankful for the Way Maker

Day 185-Thankful for the recipe for joy

“Unite my heart to fear Your name. I will give thanks to You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, and will glorify Your name forever.” Psalm 86:11b,12 NASB When someone tells you “thank you” halfheartedly instead of wholeheartedly are you inclined to believe that they’re truly thankful? I admit that when I am… Read More Day 185-Thankful for the recipe for joy

Day 146- Thankful for Wendy’s Frostys and safe homecomings

Friday morning dawned cloudy with the last bit of the night’s rainfall. These are such good mornings to sleep in, but we couldn’t sleep too late because we needed to check out of our hotel and get home. The sun started to come out by the time we left. Traffic was a bit more busy… Read More Day 146- Thankful for Wendy’s Frostys and safe homecomings

Appearances of God to Man – Breakthroughs

I love to read passages of the Bible where God appears to man.  If you haven’t read through the Bible, you may be surprised how many times this happened. Joshua 5 and 6 contains one of these passages. In Joshua 5:13-15 we see that a man is standing before Joshua with his sword drawn. At… Read More Appearances of God to Man – Breakthroughs

Masked Mortals Moved to Hope

Head tilted forward, Black fedora hiding forehead, White-rimmed glasses With opaque yellow lenses Masking the eyes, Hiding the anima, Of the mannequin-faced persona Facing me here In this white, sterile place. Shadows behind her As she steps into the light, Her hand tips the fedora Like a salute As she strides toward me. Then she… Read More Masked Mortals Moved to Hope

Don’t Squelch the Spirit

I saw them, the children, happy and joyous in the Lord! I saw them looking up relaxing in the hand of the Lord! Happy smiles Unhindered Shine in praise, Worshiping the Lord! I heard them Beautifully Singing out, Praises to the Lord! The grown ups saying “no”, “not that way”, Inhibiting them, Squelching them, The… Read More Don’t Squelch the Spirit

Do You Want to See Jesus?

I was reading the story in the gospel accounts recently about the Gerasene demoniac that Jesus healed. Here’s this man who has been in physical and spiritual bondage for quite some time. He is hurting. He is violent. He lives in the graveyard. He spends his days and nights acting insane. “Constantly, night and day,… Read More Do You Want to See Jesus?

Tsunami! Sound the Alarm!

It was so real, it was as though I was actually there. Dreams can be that way sometimes. The early morning sun lit up the entire eastern sky and streamed into my hotel window which looked out over the vast, immeasurable ocean. It was going to be a beautiful day! I looked out the window… Read More Tsunami! Sound the Alarm!

Glory to Whom?

I remember when I was 13 years old, mowing the grass in the front yard at my parents’ house. I was just becoming very aware of myself, and I hoped that the neighbors across the street noticed what a good girl I was. I also remember as a teenager being in the chapel at camp.… Read More Glory to Whom?

Hiding the Mess

This morning is not the first time I’ve had a conversation like this with my son. One of the rules at our house is that no one is allowed to eat in the bedrooms. We have a perfectly good area where eating is allowed, and the kids leave their plates and crumbs sitting on the… Read More Hiding the Mess

Distorted Vision – Clear Vision

This year, I suffered 3+ months of a nightmare as far as my eyesight was concerned. My husband got a new vision insurance, so we went to a new place to get our vision needs met. The eye doctor there talked me into getting progressive lenses instead of the trifocals that I requested. He said… Read More Distorted Vision – Clear Vision

Obstacles to having an intimate relationship with God

1.  In a general sense, there is only one obstacle to having an intimate relationship with God. That one obstacle is sin, which can be any form of disobedience to God. It has plagued the human race since Adam and Eve disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden. But what makes us go there? 2. … Read More Obstacles to having an intimate relationship with God
