Walking with God
Deal with your own mess first. Don’t be a hypocrite
While returning from my morning walk, I hear a voice behind me say, “Your left blinker’s on.” I glanced to the right and saw a couple riding mopeds. The lady was correct, her man’s left blinker was on. He turned it off, but the funny thing is...HER left blinker was...
Feeling Empty? Well, you’re not!
I had been away for a few days and wanted to walk out to the pond to see how the fish were thriving. When I stopped on the edge of the bank, the small brim scurried over to where I was hovering over and frantically swam back and forth. They knew momma Shuff was going...
What Matters Most
“What Matters Most”. This was the theme of our summer regional with my husband's company Edward Jones Investments. When I heard the theme, I knew what my answer was. You see, summer regional is the time when financial advisors and their families gather to learn,...
Evidence in your life
Keywords that stand out to me in this video devo are evidence, false, training, and being marked. https://youtu.be/K8-BQMdFlhU When others see you, do they see evidence of Christ living within you? In 2 Corinthians 13:5 we are told to give ourselves a spiritual...
Still Soaking Up The Son in the sun and moonlight

Motivational Monday: Self-discipline and obedience
Happy Motivational Monday, y’all! For today’s motivation, I NEED YOU to motivate ME. I misquoted the phrase in the video, but now I remember…“Delayed obedience is disobedience.” Yep, I’ve been delaying a task for many many months, actually years. When I read books,...
Patience
Patience. This is the virtue that we often do NOT have time for. “I have had it!” “My patience is running thin!” “Ain’t nobody got time for this!” Have you heard any of these sayings or said them yourself? I know I have. This morning’s scripture reading included...

My Radar
Tim recently went to The Middle Grounds, 100 miles off the west coast of Florida, with a group of friends to catch some gag grouper. They left the dock around 3:15 in the wee hours of the morning. The sky was unilluminated due to the phase of the New Moon. When he was...
Has it really been six years?
Hi, Jany. Six years ago today you stopped walking the sandy beach on Little Gasparilla island and your beautiful Kentucky woods with me, and started walking the streets of gold with Jesus. Okay, He’s a better deal, I get it, but I sure miss you. Yesterday, while...
How is catching tarpon like sharing Jesus?
How is catching tarpon like sharing Jesus? I’m sure you know the famous quote from the movie “Forrest Gump” where Forrest said, “My momma always said that life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what your gonna get.” Well, we can use that statement and say,...
Life Changing
Recently I was telling our youngest child how proud of his daddy I was. I went on to share with Cole, how Tim was witnessing to friends. This wasn’t the only time Tim did this, he does so quite often, yet this time, the emotion coming from my man was so precious and...
