“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because He has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free.” (Luke 4:18) There He is, Jesus – with the key to your jail […]
Don’t let the “Negative Nellys” in this world pull you down to the bottom of the barrel. Instead, we need to remember that we walk by faith and not by sight (see 2 Corinthians 5:7) and do not allow the negative report of others to tear down your faith. Stand firm in He who has […]
The hustle and bustle of holiday shoppers is all around me, television commercials show what they hope to be enticing commercials to get you to buy their products, and as I sit in the quiet of my house, I honestly can’t think of one advertised product I would want to buy. I’m not trying to […]
When I was a little kid, I remember a game-song my aunts would play with me. They would put their hands together, palm to palm and say, “Here is a church.” Then they would interlock their fingers (still palm to palm) leaving their thumbs pressed together and they would say, “Here is the steeple.” Then […]
You are never too old to go and sit upon your Father’s lap. So, climb right up there. Close your eyes and picture doing just that. And then feel His arms wrapped protectively around you. Lean your head back on his shoulder and pour your heart out to Him, having the confidence to know that […]
Holy Spirit talks to me with a gentle whisper. I woke up in turmoil and immediately knew I have been under spiritual attack, so I put on praise and worship music and began to pray. And this is what I heard, “Why are you so surprised by the tactic the enemy uses? He uses the […]

As I prayed this morning, Holy Spirit gave me this question for us to ponder. God is asking you this morning, “Why are you putting me off? Why are you keeping me on the outskirts of your life? I long to be with you, to talk with you, to walk with you, to show you […]
As you think about gifts you are planning to give to others, maybe it is time for us to think a little harder and dig a little deeper… Not into our wallets, but into thinking about what we could give that would TRULY honor God. Truly honor the Spirit of Christmas. Truly honor our Savior’s […]
Holy Spirit brought to the front and center of my mind, Mary the mother of Jesus… Did you know that every person written about in the Bible is there for a reason? They are there as an example for us, Mary IS an example of someone who was COMPLETELY devoted to God. She was willing […]
Are you feeling like you are from the Island of misfit or broken toys? It’s Christmas time and one of my favorite Christmas cartoons is Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. The reindeer who wasn’t accepted by all the other reindeers because he was “different.” Instead of being considered “special” he was ostracized for his bright shiny red nose. He […]
How quickly Christmas present becomes Christmas past… That was the realization I had as I lay on the sofa watching “A Christmas Carol” which for me, has become a Christmas tradition I made for myself years ago. It was my father’s favorite Christmas movie, and so I try and honor his memory by ending Christmas […]
