Become a Christian
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
Woohoo!!
Acts 11 reminds me of the chorus in the children’s song “Jesus Loves the Children of the World”. It says, “Red, brown, yellow, black and white they are precious in His sight. Jesus loves the little children of the world.” It is doesn’t matter the color of your skin,...
Shoes to Fill
As Peter entered his home, Cornelius fell at his feet and worshiped him. 26 But Peter pulled him up and said, “Stand up! I’m a human being just like you!” Acts 10:25-26 Today, July 9th, will be a day of mixed emotions for our family. First of all, it is Jany’s...
God said it was okay.
When I read Acts 10:9-16, a couple of things came to my mind. First of all, when I read the name Cornelius, I immediately thought of my grandpa (my mom’s dad). He was Neil or Neily to most, but to me he was just Grandpa. I loved that man! He’d let me tinker in his...
How to show respect:
“…They showed their respect for the Lord by the way they lived….” Acts 9:31b I admire and have the utmost respect for my God. But do I always show it by the way I live my life? Acts 9:31, in its entirety says, “The church in Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had a...
One bad dude, turned good.
Saul (who later became Paul) was one bad dude. But this all changed in an instance. When he was on the road to Damascus he met Jesus. I’m not talking about “Hi, how are you? My name is Jesus,” kind of conversation. Jesus appeared in the form of a “light that...
Celebrate Freedom….
July 4th. Independence Day for America. Happy Birthday, America, land that I love! This is the day that we celebrate our freedom. Many of us may consider ourselves free from “other things” in our lives. Freedom from: a disease, a bad relationship, no school for a...
It Happens
As I walked to the beach this morning I could still feel the weight on me. Here we are just fresh off of losing Jany, and then last night more gripping news. God is teaching us the whole time. Let’s go back a bit….when we returned home from burying Jany in Kentucky...
"Patience, My Dear."
“Better to be patient than powerful;” Proverbs 16:32a God seems to be teaching me this more and more each day. Think about it, when we practice patience we may feel that we are more vulnerable during those times. When we may want to control a situation, to feel more...
That's the type of God that I serve!
Have you ever tried to crack a rock open to see what it was like inside? Well, this inquisitive country girl has. I discovered….more rock. Interesting to the eye, with all its designs and possible colors, but it was still just a rock. If I was thirsty and wanted...
Do you have a plan?
“If their plan is something they thought up, it will fail. 39 But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop them.” Acts 5:38-39 Aha! I love these two verses! We all have goals in life, right? If not, you should. I think about my own children when they are...

Power in words
Words. No matter if they are written, spoken, or sung, words are powerful. Proverbs 16:24 reads, “Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.” Last night I wrote about how I was out of my funk. Well, one thing that helped me...
