Are You a Hot Mess in Need of Repair?

Are You a Hot Mess in Need of Repair?

Can you relate to this piece of furniture?  Seriously…listen… When I first procured this adorably shaped table, it was a hot mess.  The legs were wobbly and cracked, the drawer was falling apart (Well, it actually did fall apart.), and the paint was in need of some...
You are Priceless!

You are Priceless!

“Look at the birds.  They don’t plant, harvest, or save food in barns, but your heavenly Father feeds them.  Don’t you know you are worth much more than they are?  You cannot add any time to your life by worrying about it.  And why do you worry about clothes?  Look at...
Help Each Other

Help Each Other

Another lesson from the cows. About a couple of days after those silly cows got themselves into “hitchhiker” trouble again (Click here) , Cole came inside and said, “Those cows have done a good job helping clean each other up.”  I said, “There’s another devotion.” In...
Brokenness to Beauty

Brokenness to Beauty

Walking along the path in our backwoods is where I have been doing my prayer walks each day.  Since Hurricane Irma, there are still a few trees down and a plethora of limbs strewed throughout the woods. When I passed by one fallen tree, I was reminded how we are all a...

Greener Pasutres?

This morning I chose to…

This morning I chose to…

Since I decided to take a personal leave from teaching this year, folks often (quite often) ask me “How do you spend your day?”  or “What are you going to do now?” We all have choices to make in life, and I pray that after you hear my choice for this morning, you will...
Praying for You!

Praying for You!

It’s a Praying-Kind-of-Day. When is it not a praying-kind-of-day? In Ephesians 6:18 we read, Pray in the Spirit at all times.  Pray with all kinds of prayers, and ask for everything you need.  To do this you must always be ready.  Never give up.  Always pray for all...
Watch, Learn, and Do

Watch, Learn, and Do

Have you ever spoon fed a baby, and while attempting to have them eat, you open your mouth so that they can imitate the action?  Still to this day, when I feed a baby, I open my mouth when I give them food. Oh, and don’t forget the “mmmm” sound too. (I bet many of you...
What Impresses God?

What Impresses God?

What impresses God? So many of us TRY so hard to impress others.  The way we dress, who we associate ourselves with, the jobs we obtain, the amount of money we make, the cars we drive, the home or neighborhood we live in, the “trophy spouse” by our side, and on and...
