Recently we had so much rain that the ground has become spongy and soft. It’s really hard to stand firm on spongy and soft ground. In a few days it will dry out some and the ground will become firm again. I was reminded again this morning of the importance of a good foundation. Paul…
I really like knowing that people are praying for me. I have been through difficult times and I know what it feels like to be covered in prayer. I have felt the unusual strength that comes from the Presence of God all over me. I have felt the Lord lift my head up and shape…
I have to confess that before reading the instructions on assembling something, I like to look first at all the parts. (I’m really checking to see if I can do this quickly WITHOUT instructions!) I then proceed to step 1, especially if I’ve already tried to assemble the item without the step-by-step instructions. One of…
There are times to be quiet and times to be loud. I know that a loud crowd at the home game can inspire the players to play their heart out. I also know that at a dance club, the music is loud to get people moving. I actually like a lot of loud things. I’ve…
When I hear that a person has a “heart condition”, I become concerned. My heart is in the top two most vital organs in my body. My heart is that pumping organ (not the musical instrument!) that pushes blood throughout my body. Without my heart working, I won’t live. It is vital to my body…
I can’t possibly begin to describe the difference that God’s Word has made in my life. I wouldn’t know Jesus if not for the Word of God. My parents who first taught me of Jesus wouldn’t know Him if were not for the Word of God entrusted to others who then taught them. It really…
Here’s a word that caries with it longevity, stability and courage. When I hear this word, I think of a race and not quitting, but pushing through the hard parts and getting my “second wind” in order to finish the race. The meaning of the word has to do with “the capacity or something to…
I don’t always put these two words together, but it seems to me that Paul did that on purpose. I’ve always thought of prayer as conversation with God. Another angle to explore is praying prior to conversation. I’ve also prayed for a “heavy weight” conversation that was difficult. I should really pray over every conversation…
The “self-made photo” called the “selfie” has taken social media by storm. I’m not much of a fan. I was born with a big nose and the “selfie” makes me even more aware of just how big my nose is. (LOL) The Camera angle is almost always too close and often is not very flattering.…
There is a new word that came about recently –called the “selfie”. This is a picture that you take of yourself in different places and situations and then it can be posted on Instagram, Facebook or any social media. Some “selfies” are flattering, while others are embarrassing. I have a few “selfies”, but I’m not…
