Christmas Memories
This morning the rising sun was leaving shadows of my Christmas tree on the wall of my living room. I was reminded that this Christmas, like all the other ones which came before, will soon be a memory. BUT GOD … Has loved us so much, that the very first Christmas would not just be…

Letters to God
I had lined up the Christmas packages on the postoffice counter so the clerk could process them. While he weighed them and added my postage, I stuck stamps onto individual envelopes in a stack of Christmas cards. People behind me filed into lines. I felt an invisible push to hurry. I was proud that I…

Squatters
As children of God we cannot be possessed by demons. We are sealed by the Holy Spirit. However, we can still hear and believe many lies from our adversary. There are times it seems as if I invite the enemy’s lies in, right through the front door of my mind. Other times his deceptions sneakily…

The question that inspired this song was, “Name an intangible gift you have been given!” I knew the answer immediately. The following poem/song was the result of thinking about…

A Disciple’s Empty Hands
Again, we find ourselves staring at endless needs. Here in the deep waters and floods of pain, we learn to say yes to Jesus and to one another. He takes our small yeses, one at a time, and blesses in ways we could never imagine. If you are a follower, pupil, and learner, a disciple…

Taking a (6 months) Break
Hey there, dear friends … I will be taking a small break from blogging (about 6 months). Looking forward to sharing what God has done when I get back 🙂 In the meantime, feel free to look around! The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him. It…

Guilty
The light was red. I slowly pulled into the left turn lane to wait for the light to change. I noticed a State Patrol car in front of me. A good feeling overcame me. I had a guilt-free conscience since my registration was up to date, I had not been speeding, and my lights…
