In your personal opinion, what do you understand it takes for a person to go to heaven? It is as simple as spelling the word faith out on each finger.
Daily Walking with God
Need I say more?
Song of Solomon. Those who know it...need I say more? Whew! I went back to the journal entry from a year ago, read it, and thought that it was worry of a repost. It applies to men and women of all ages, and the teenagers too. Enjoy. Passionately Speaking I’d love...
At home with the Lord
Sigh. Here, please read 2 Corinthians 5:2,4-8: 2 We grow weary in our present bodies, and we long to put on our heavenly bodies like new clothing… 4 While we live in these earthly bodies, we groan and sigh, but it’s not that we want to die and get rid of these bodies...
Hot-heads
Have you heard the song (now considered a classic) “Bad Company” by the ‘70s rock group Bad Company? I remember turning up the volume dial on the car radio and rockin’ out to this tune. Well, this song came to my mind when I read Proverbs 22:24-25. It reads: “Do...
Live your life!
Hey, young people…Enjoy life! Live it up while you’re young! Do whatever your heart leads you to do. Do whatever you want! But…. I am a mother of more than one teen. Heck, I remember my teen and young adult life years. In their minds, teens know all and can do all....
A pleasing aroma?
My friend, Billie Jo, who is helping rehabilitate her grandson from a drowning incident, mentioned to me that they would put something in front of Eric to sniff. Our sense of smell is a powerful element for regaining memory. Smell is important. Another friend, who...
Part 2….Stop Bullying!
God’s timing is always perfect. Friday morning I typed a journal entry titled "Give Me Five" . Instead of choosing one of my normal pictures, God put the idea in my head to write the five points on my hand, in permanent marker, and to take a picture of to use. Little...
Give me “Five”
I have a little memory lesson for you for today. It comes from 1 Corinthians 16:13-14. With each new statement, hold up a new finger. And like I do in my classroom, I’ll even give you a choice as to how you “solve it” (remember it). Action is required. Ready, class?...
New Body? Yes!
All I’ve got to say today is “Thank You, God, for reminding me that we will one day have a new body.” When I read 1 Corinthians 15:35-38, it sure came on a good day to remind me. My sleep has been off, (way off) and my body doesn’t feel well. Tim came home from...
What if…
We all play the “What if” game. That can be a dangerous/depressing/fun game to play. More likely than most times, we play the “What if” game when something has gone wrong, and that is not a good thing for your mind. (Trust me. I went through that this summer with...
It is what it is.
When we were in Hawaii this summer a saying that I often heard and saw on decorative plaques was, “It is what it is”. Then when I returned back to work, that same quote was repeated throughout preplanning and the first week of school. New ideas were brought to the...
Another lesson learned from Job.
Saturday, during the Gator football game, I was on my computer, glancing at the game, and reading the Book of Job. (BTW, if you were hungry on Saturday, you should have watched the Florida vs. Miami game. They were serving up plenty of “turnovers”.) When my husband,...
What part are you?
Let’s talk football. The season has begun. Arm-chair quarterbacks are in position. Tailgate food has been prepared and ready for the taking. Fans are sporting their team’s colors and psyched about cheering on their team. Someone has prepared the field for battle. ...
