When I think of a “parachute prayer”, I’m thinking of a desperate last minutes “hail Mary” sort of prayer. It is a prayer offered out of desperation, not out of a relationship with the ONE Who can answer it. The Lord had had enough of Judah and her fake faith. The people of Judah were…
I love object lessons – They are often so simple, yet teach a profound truth. I guess I’m somewhat simple minded and love to visualize in order to learn. Jeremiah is asked by God to teach the people of Judah with an object lesson. I love how God tells Jeremiah to do something that seemed…
A Judge is a public official that is appointed or nominated to decide cases in a court of law. They are supposed to be honorable and wise people who help resolve cases before them that are directly opposed to each other. One of my favorite shows over the years has been Perry Mason. Mr. Mason…
I have learned to keep a secret. I have learned that part of being a good listener is to not speak about all that you know about others – especially if it was spoken to you in secret as a secret. Confidentiality is a bit part of the work I do with buyers and sellers.…
I am enjoying my journey through Jeremiah. He writes clearly for the most part and I can grasp and understand what is happening during his time as prophet. I can also see His relationship with God in the middle of the chaos that his country is in. He is obviously a prayer warrior as well…

It’s hard to explain something that is unexplainable. (Now that was not a profound statement at all.) I mean how can I explain logically my relationship with God? God is Spirit, yet if He chooses, He could become Flesh and Bones. His Presence is impossible for me to miss, by also impossible for me to…
This is a small word but carries a pretty big punch. It involves producing and performing. It is most definitely an action verb, not a passive verb. It implies that something is about to happen. The Lord wants something to happen in me. He wants me heart to be tuned to His so that WHEN…
The most famous and quoted baseball player, Yogi Berra said, “When you come to a fork in the road, take it.” In my line of work as a REALTOR, I drive the roads around where I live quite a bit. I know where many obscure roads are because I’ve been out showing houses there. Occasionally…
I realize that my English teacher would “have a duck” if she saw the title of this blog. I’m really speaking of “decision maker” when I use the term “decider”. In Real Estate world the past few years has brought a term to our vocabulary that hasn’t been used so much before this. The term…
