Daily Walking with God
Soaring high!
Some may ask, “Why?” “Are you crazy?” “The family too?” I may respond, “It’s exhilarating!” “Why not?” “Live life to its fullest!” “Call me crazy.” “Let’s do this!” In Isaiah 40:31 we read, “But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar...
YOU are NOT the Judge.
Happy Friday, y’all! Last week I had written a journal entry titled "A Wake Up Call for Us All". I hope you had a chance to read it. This morning I was blessed, and convicted, by reading Romans 14. To expand on the scenario that was presented to me on the plane with...
A Masterpiece!
It had been a hot and stifling humid day. The weather had looked wicked all day. Scattered thunderstorms were definitely the forecast for today and tonight. This evening, just before sunset, Holly and I were sitting out in our sunroom. Looking out the windows, you...
HELLO
Recently my family took a vacation to the beautiful area of Lake George, New York. Stunning views! One day we took a quick road trip to Lake Placid to see where the Winter Olympics had twice taken place and get a glimpse of some future Olympians. We weren’t on the...
"I Believe…"
This year's theme at school is "We Believe…". We teachers, and students, can fill in the blank. Of course the first thought that came to my mind was, “I believe that Jesus is my Lord and Savior”. Well, being that I work in the public school system, I don’t think...
Reality happened…but I was prepared
Do you think that God thinks about us the way I was thinking of my children this morning…”Just obey, and everything will be okay.”? I woke up this morning at six o’clock. I could feel God pressing on my heart to look up scriptures in the areas of “Choosing Friends”,...
What will be said of you?
"What will others say about you when your life on earth is over?" I know I’ve posed this question before, but two recent events have me pondering it again. Last night Cole had a couple of buddies stay the night. Before I headed to bed, I peeked in the boys’ room and...
A wake up call for all:
Hey, y’all, listen up. The other day I was sitting next to a thirty-something-year-young lady on the airplane. She was very friendly. I’m sure (and she said it herself) that she could strike up a conversation with everyone on the plane. Her 6’4” stature, wavy...
Praying for Strangers
“I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them.” 1Timothy 2:1 I’m a huge believer in prayer. Lately it seems that God has been tailoring my prayers for those whom I don’t even know, but I...
Oh what a beautiful day!
This morning when I went outside I could sense that it was going to be a beautiful morning. When I heard the birds singing, as the sun was rising in the sky, I started singing the song from the musical “Oklahoma”: Oh what a beautiful morning Oh what a beautiful day...
Who is God?
Love, God (Vol 6) “But what about you?” He asked. “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” Matthew 16:15-16 Dear Child of Mine, Let me start off with a joke: “Knock. Knock” “Who’s there?” “God.” “God who?” “That’s...
Never Give Up!
