Confident

When you hear a sermon delivered in a timely manner (i.e. when you have asked for something to be revealed), it can be seen as a message. When you hear that message three times by three different speaker in 3 different location in the course of 72 hours, it feels more like a wakeup call.Continue reading “Confident”

The Kiddie Pool

It’s the last day of Summer and I’ve been reflecting on our season. For many people it has been one HOT summer. Due to utility workers digging up our back yard, we were not able to set up our metal-frame pool to have relief from the heat. In desperation, I thought it might be beneficialContinue reading “The Kiddie Pool”

A Father’s Love

“And I will be your Father, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.” 2 Corinthians 6:18 NLT God placed this topic on my heart in June, but I have been procrastinating. That could mean it is going to be needed by someone. Yet my experience has had me feeling lessContinue reading “A Father’s Love”

Red Herring

(Trigger Warning: threat of bodily harm) June 24th, 2022 the United States Supreme Court overturned a nearly 50-year-old case that ruled for a woman’s right to terminate a pregnancy. Given the fact that the plaintiff in that case never had an abortion, and given the fact that states still regulated the practice within their sovereignty,Continue reading “Red Herring”

Spring Forward

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come; The old has gone, the new is here!” 2 Corinthians 5:17 NIV The daylight is lasting longer, the weather is getting warmer, and the plants are establishing their new growth. Minus the hay fever, it’s the time of year I look forward to theContinue reading “Spring Forward”

Life

A one word title. It can be used as a statement, it can be a desire, or it can be perceived as a question. Normally I process my emotions through the filter of logic. My oldest daughter calls this the Vulcan in me. I have learned that it is a coping mechanism consistent with survivorsContinue reading “Life”

Heartstrings

February comes and we see hearts in every store display. Having just celebrated Valentines Day it would be easy, cliché even, to use this month’s blog to talk about love. Doubly so as this month is the anniversary of my book release for “Fortress of the Heart.” If you are looking for an interesting takeContinue reading “Heartstrings”

Your Exodus; Make the Journey

I have always found it interesting that when you begin studying one thing all these other stimuli come to support that search. I watched the archaeological documentary “Patterns of Evidence: The Exodus”. Then I saw a video devotion “Wild Places”, the session called “Goshen”. This was the land the Israelites inhabited while in Egypt. IContinue reading “Your Exodus; Make the Journey”

The Messiah Israel Deserved, but Not the One it Needed

When your husband is a Batman fan, this is the kind of title that pops into your mind. (Apropos, since many of my friends and family relate me to Wonder Woman.) Of course, he has his favorite Batman, as played by a certain actor and how he portrays the character. It made me think ofContinue reading “The Messiah Israel Deserved, but Not the One it Needed”

More or Less Thankful

November, the month to focus on how thankful we are for all that we have in our lives. I have seen, and on occasion used, 30 day lists to prompt our minds to think on our blessings. In a land of plenty we seek reminders to help give us focus. A person, a place, aContinue reading “More or Less Thankful”
