Do you remember the “Hokey Pokey” song we use to do as kids? “You put your left foot in, you put your left foot out, you put your left foot in, and you shake it all about… You do the hokey pokey, and you turn yourself around that’s what it’s all about!” If you are […]
I’ve been thinking about how they must have felt on the Titanic – knowing the ship had hit an iceberg and was sinking… Desperate, scared, shocked, knowing that the situation they were in was like nothing they’d expected to confront… When you are in Christ it’s not that you are immune to fear it’s that […]
I never understood people who put on airs or façades. It never made sense to me, I never learned how to be “fake” because I didn’t see the point in it… Listen, you can fool people, but you CANNOT fool God. One of the things that I learned when I married the love of my […]
Sometimes we try to put fires out in other peoples lives because we love them. In doing so, even with a good heart – we can get in the way in what God is doing. We are not called to be someone’s Savior, we are called to intercede TO the One who IS the Savior […]
Some times we stand in our own way…. And we don’t even realize it… So busy blaming others or situations that we don’t deal with the true issue at hand… We do exactly what Adam and Eve did in the garden of Eden and point fingers at others or make excuses instead of looking at […]
What are you running away from? Or headed towards? Have you even really thought about it – or do you just find yourself running and you don’t even know to where? There are several different ways of escape. If you are looking for one, you will surely find it, but before you open that door […]
I grew up in the state where “Dunkin’ Donuts” was created. You may be unfamiliar with that name, but Dunkin Donuts is a fast food chain that makes a variety of donuts and coffees. It began in Massachusetts, (where I am originally from) and throughout Massachusetts Dunkin’ Donuts is so popular that there are Dunkin’s […]
Jesus shared the following parable, one that stands out in my head and is very prevalent for today. Matthew 13:1-9: “A farmer went out to plant his seed. He scattered the seed on the ground. Some fell on a path. Birds came and ate it up. Some seed fell on rocky places, where there wasn’t […]
This past autumn, I was dealing with an unexpected family emergency when the first frost hit. My beautiful outside plants that I had very lovingly and carefully cared for became victimized, carefully and as quickly as I could I brought one particular plant in that I thought perhaps I could save, but the next day […]
The Serenity Prayer is very common and well known: “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardship as a pathway to peace; […]
As I prayed this morning for a word to write, I asked Holy Spirit, “what would you have me write this morning?” There has been such a spirit of heaviness with all that is going on in this world and I wanted a fresh new Word from Him. This is what He said: “Ask them, […]
The older I get, the more I realize how dependent upon the Lord I am. I have found myself wondering, “How did Jesus do it?” I think about the Scriptures and I wonder how Jesus kept focused, during the darkest time in His life. Betrayal from within His inner-circle… Betrayal from someone who was one of […]
