Unleash His Power

I have always loved the story about the woman with the issue of blood.  She was considered lower than low by those around her.  She had tried everything and man could do nothing for her.  But then she heard about Him…Jesus.  I can not even imagine the desperation as she fought through the crowd…fully realizing [...]

Let’s Focus Now…

I have been struggling…and, to be honest, have not wanted to post.  I mean…seriously…how do you tell the world that you are downright “giddy for God” one day and then admit that you are confused and feeling all alone the next?
Several months ago, when I began this blog, I began one of the posts with these [...]

The Parable of the Rotten Potatoes

UPDATE: Turns out that the smell…not rotten potatoes after all.   Leaky water heater – lots of money to fix…Oh well…points below still ring true. 
 
Being the introvert that I am, I love email and texting.  I can talk to almost anyone about anything and never have to have a face to face conversation.  The [...]

Giddy for God

I wish I had some deep, wonderful thought for you, but I just don’t.  I have to say that I can not think of a time when I have felt more in the will of God than these last 6 weeks.  I am reading through the Bible and, key point here, loving it!  It hasn’t [...]

The Covenant-Keeper

I am making my way through Joshua and have come upon Chapter 5.  I love how the Matthew Henry Bible Commentary prefaces the analysis of this chapter…”Israel has now gotten over the Jordan, and the waters which had opened before them, to favor their march forward, are closed again behind them, to forbid their retreat [...]

Speak, Lord

I could not sleep last night and that is just not like me.  If you asked my husband, he would tell you that I can fall asleep faster than anyone.  So, for me to toss and turn and be unable to sleep is unusual. 
Now, I did not hear an audible voice like Samuel.  However, after struggling for [...]

A Relationship Like No Other

I must admit, I’m kind of sad to reach the end of Deuteronomy. The closer I got to the end…the closer to the death of Moses. I have become very fond of Moses…what an exciting life he lived. As a baby, he taught me about the protection of God. As a young man, he taught [...]

Sing it, Sligh

I am traveling on business and it’s been a long day…but the passage of Scripture I read this morning has been on my mind.  I’m still in Deuteronomy, but you will be glad to know that I have moved beyond Chapter 1.  I am now in Chapter 10 and, I must say, it just gets [...]

As a Father Carries His Child…

Life is hard.  I don’t think anyone needs to be reminded of that.  A former boss of mine always said, “Be nice to everyone because everyone is having a hard time.“  Every time I heard him say this I was always struck by the obvious truth of it and how we would [...]
