Press on! There's a great prize waiting for you.

“…but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.” Philippians 3:13b-14 I grew up playing and...

Have you had your medicine today?

“You’re blessed when you stay on course, walking steadily on the road revealed by God. You’re blessed when you follow his directions, doing your best to find him. That’s right—you don’t go off on your own; you walk straight along the road he set. You, God, prescribed...

Finding Strength

“You grew weary in your search, but you never gave up. Desire gave you renewed strength, and you did not grow weary.” Isaiah 57:10 Even though The Lord was talking to the idolatrous people here, I believe we can use these words for the good of those who are...

Get the "yuck" out!

Each morning I have a routine, as I’m sure you do too.  Most of it consists of getting rid of something yucky.  Really…the drool that seeped onto you face while you were sleeping, the offensive taste in your mouth, and let’s be even more real…your bladder is probably...

Little Eric

In my September 27th  journaling I asked for prayer for a little boy named Eric.  A couple of days ago I listened to my sweet, prayerful, and godly friend, Billie Jo (the step-grandmother), as she laid out her heart and gave details about Eric, for an hour of...
