Soaking up the Son

“You do the Hokey Pokey and you turn yourself around.  That’s what it’s all about.”  Really? “What is the meaning of life?”  This is a quote that we’ve all heard many times.  It is interesting that with different ages and stages in life, you will hear a different...

When I read 1 Corinthians 15:35-58 today, I got excited thinking about Jesus coming back.  Did you know that when He returns “It will only take the time of a second. We will be changed as quickly as an eye blinks.” (verse 52)  Go ahead and blink your eye.  BAM! You’d...

My mind and body are tired today. Yesterday was just one of those days when I came home mentally exhausted.  Last night I had heard some disturbing news about one of my relatives, and was privy to a bad scenario that happened between some teens.  Then when I tried to...

While I was sitting in my comfy chair reading God’s word yesterday morning, I looked out the window and could tell that it was an overcast morning. Soon sprinkles from the sky started to patter down on the ground.  Then, the patter became a pounding.  I checked out...

Honestly, when you read the words in Psalm 106:32-39 you can’t tell me you don’t feel sick or that you don’t get disgusted by the actions of those in Moses’ time.  When I read it, my heart sinks and it makes me want to cry out for all those precious innocent children....

These have got to be some of the most read verses from the bible. I remember when they were read at my wedding.  Every time I hear them, I reevaluate my attitude towards those I love.  God has a way of keeping me fixated on what true love is. Let’s read these...

I say it often.  I believe it.  I actually just said these words this week in a conversation.  What words?  Proverbs 22:6, “Train children in the way they should go; when they grow old, they won’t depart from it.” Many of my friends have kids that they have sent off...

“Here comes trouble.” These words have been said in a joking manner and in a serious form.  I see someone walking up to me (or me to them) and may jokingly say, “Here comes trouble.”  No problem, laughter is heard, and hugs usually follow in the greeting. But, there...

Can I tell you something?  I am so grateful for God’s written word!  I read it and am reminded of His mighty power.  We can read about how He displayed His power through the many miraculous acts He performed throughout the Old and New Testaments. In 2 Timothy 3:16-17...

Yesterday a dear friend of mine had a medical test done.  Whenever we hear of a spot in any location of our body, we easily gravitate to the worst.  Knowing my friend and her family, her procedure was bathed in prayer.   Really…would you hear that you have a spot on,...

Temptation is a desire or craving for something, especially something considered wrong (Encarta Dictionary).   It is out there, and it is everywhere. I just had a brief conversation about temptation last night with one of my children.  This conversation led to a...

A common theme ran through some verses today in the Old and New Testament. You want something…work for it.  Don’t be lazy. There are people who want, want, want, but don’t “want” too work to get what they want. Simple example…I want to have a flat and tone tummy.  I...
