Mini-Tornado or the Holy Spirit?

Y’all, God’s word IS alive and active.   The more you dive into God’s word, the more you’ll be able to apply silly, or not so silly, situations in life to his word.   When this gust of wind blew through our outdoor area, it made me think about what I’ve been reading...
You have a Valentine!

You have a Valentine!

Do you have a Valentine?   Well, if you think you don’t, think again.  If you are a child of God, He says that you are His.  “Don’t be afraid. I saved you. I named you. You are mine.” Isaiah 43:1 (emphasis mine) God loves you!  You are His! Do you remember receiving a...

Don’t miss out…YouTube

Have you visited the YouTube channel yet for a Soaking up The Son? I want to encourage you to do because there are times, especially while reading through various books in the bible, that I may not post directly to the website or instagram or Facebook, only to...
Beggar

Beggar

I am reminded how cynical I can be to those who are down and out.  You know…the ones you see holding signs on the side of the road, and you may wonder, “Are they really in need, or is this a scam?”.  When reading Acts 3:1-11 God whispered His own sweet reminders...

THE MOST IMPORTANT MESSAGE

This morning I woke up, correction…God woke me up, at 3:08.  I tried to go back to sleep.  Nah. I lay there praying for others, and praying that I can go back to sleep.  Finally, after a while, I said, “Forget it.  I’ll get up and keep reading Acts.”  When my...

Whose team are you rooting for?

Super Bowl 55 takes place this weekend.  This electrifying event transpires just 25 miles away from my front door. I say electrifying for two reasons…I’ve been there before and know the feeling of being a fan engulfed in the experience, and my home team is playing,...
WHAT’S THE VALUE?

WHAT’S THE VALUE?

I had just pumped gas into my vehicle and was walking into the store, when a penny caught my eye.  I’m not one for superstition and worry about whether the coin is heads up or tails up, I just always pick up the deserted coin and say “In God we trust.”  Into the...
LIVING IN A SHADOW

LIVING IN A SHADOW

Today, February the second, is Groundhog Day.  I remember having fun activities planned for my students on this day.  We would talk about groundhog Phil and his history.  Votes were cast to see if he would see his shadow or not.  You grow to always know the end result...
You will stand strong

You will stand strong

Be prepared. You’re up against far more than you can handle on your own. Take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued, so that when it’s all over but the shouting you’ll still be on your feet. Truth, righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation are more...
