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
God Knows the Hair on Your Head, or lack of.
Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7 Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. Luke 12:6-7 I had to laugh when I read this verse. Why? Because of a...
"Our enemy is powerful, but not ALL-powerful."
Yesterday my pastor (Dr. Brian Stowe) preached on The Armor of God. After reading Ephesians 6:12, “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces...
He's Got Your Back
I have two framed photographs on my bedside table. One of me and my husband from years ago, and the other is a recent one of me and my children. I look at them daily. But when I gazed at them the other day, before closing my eyes, a thought came to my mind…“I’ve got...
Are you judging me?
Here’s my quick thought…People judge. It’s what we do. We may not intend to evaluate others, but this trait has a way a creeping up in our psyche. God judges. That is what He does. He has every intention though of doing so. We judge differently than God. Yikes! Why do...
Do you need a hug?
Do you need a hug? We have what is called “A Holly Hug” in our home. It is only between daddy and daughter. So, Lord help me, PLEASE don’t go up to Holly and say with open arms, “Holly Hug”, or you just may not get the response that you were looking for. LOL! The...
Be the light.
“You are the light that shines for the world to see. You are like a city built on a hill that cannot be hidden.” Matthew 5:14 While visiting Stockholm, Sweden we went aboard the Lightship Finngrundet. This vessel was built in 1903. The purpose of a lightship was to...
My way vs. God's way
There have been, and occasionally still are, times in my life when I shove (or even gently push) God’s instructions to the back of my mind, or choose not to follow His instructions. When I choose to live life “my way”, I am telling you…I put more troubles on my plate...
Be Joyful
What makes you feel joyful? For me, a few things are: My man, Tim My children Spending alone time with God and being in His word Chocolate Having my extended family all together A day on the boat (beautiful weather, of course) Traveling to new places Laughter with...
God would tell us to…Just Be Nice
Just imagine if we all lived in unity in Christ. Go ahead...ponder that for a moment. Are you smiling? If we would live in the light, where God is, then we wouldn't have all the division that our world is in today. I think God would tell us to: Confess Forgive Trust...
Dig Deeper…in Wisdom, Knowledge, and Love
Tim, Holly, Cole, and I were walking the cobblestone street of a town. Our eyes were often drawn upward gazing at the details of the ancient buildings and copper steeples adorning the cathedrals. As we were strolling the main street, the side alley ways would catch my...
Blessings Exemplified
Blessings from God. It seems that every time you turn on the television or computer, or read the newspaper there is news that discourages you. Can I get an “Amen”? Well, when Christ is IN you and you IN Christ He gives you a few blessings for us to enjoy. The Lord...

Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” Matthew 4:4 Live on The Word of God! When you feel…. God’s Word will…. You are...
