The Titus Two woman – in many ways like the Proverbs 31 woman – can be misunderstood. Taken from the passage in Titus, she is the aged, or older, woman and even that first description can be confusing. Is this passage just for those who are drawing social security? And…

Lessons of Revival from the Garden
Yesterday morning, I received a text from a friend letting me that her church was having spring revival meetings and she knew that one of the guest speakers was “one of my favorite preachers.” Friends just know you like that:) I do so enjoy his preaching….and I very much enjoy…

Victory is Mine Because of the Resurrection
It’s Good Friday. Such a heartbreaking day when you consider it. The day we remember Christ’s crucifixion. The utter hopelessness that it entails. Not just complete sadness but the fear – the dread for the future – that those at the foot of the cross must have sensed. Our days…

Needing Him to Provide Daily
“Just another Monday.” I suppose all of us have had that thought – or a similar one – more than a few times. A day with nothing out of the ordinary planned. A day that is “a regular ole Thursday” or any day you find mundane. One of the reasons…

A Weapon for Overcoming Worry
This third week of March can be a tricky one. It seems to happen often. Spring rolls in and shows off in the most beautiful of ways. Warm temperatures, buds galore and plenty of sunshine. Everyone is quick to ditch the winter coats and just about anything else that reminds…

We Will Stand Our Ground
Having skipped the month of January for blogging, I never mentioned or elaborated about my word for the year. I have found this “exercise” of choosing a word for the year to not only be fun, but have also been surprised the see how often the word, or its concept,…

An Acrostic on Heaven
In an effort to keep my heart fixed, my thoughts, emotions and feelings settled, and with real intent, to enjoy and savor Christmas and all that can (and should) be beautiful about it, I have really limited my time – and attention – on not just social media but the…

Twenty-five Days of Gratitude: A Recap
Just a heads up…a little bit of photo overload in this post. At least, for me. I know many, if not most, enjoy lots of photos (I am one of those who enjoy blog pictures) but I typically do not include too many in my own posts. Not sure why. …

Do You Wait Well?
Waiting. Just the mention of the word can make many of us cringe. Or, at least, sigh deeply. Even when – or perhaps especially when – we have the head knowledge for the value of waiting and God’s promises for those who will wait (and will wait well), the actual…

Let the Past Have Its Place
Live in the present. Have you noticed that “being mindful” or “living in the present” is very trendy lately? I hear (or read) the reminders and the admonitions almost everywhere. It seems if the phrase or idea is used to validate just about any everyday choice – from the worthwhile…

A Good Day
Apparently, it is National Coffee Day. Who knew and where does the committee meet that comes up with these things? Or, perhaps, you simply have a passion for something and declare a national day for it? Hmmm. I thought I would put a picture of my morning cup of coffee…

Some Thoughts on Avoiding Temptation
David. There is so much to love about David. From the boy David who fights the giant….to the anointed David constantly pursued by Saul…and then King David whom God would describe as “a man after mine own heart.” I have been reading I and II Samuel during my morning devotions…
