Walking with God

Walking along the path in our backwoods is where I have been doing my prayer walks each day.  Since Hurricane Irma, there are still a few trees down and a plethora of limbs strewed throughout the woods. When I passed by one fallen tree, I was reminded how we are all a...

Ooops, they did it again. Are we so different from these crazed cows? Here’s why I ask:  Remember when I wrote about our silly cows getting out of the pasture, not once but twice in one morning? (Click here to read about that day and the lesson that was presented...

Do you have those days when you feel like the devil is having a field day in your mind? Questions run rampant in your mind like:  Am I a good parent/friend/sibling/child/______?  How can I be a better _________? Am I talented enough to do ____? Boy, oh boy, I sure...

Since I decided to take a personal leave from teaching this year, folks often (quite often) ask me “How do you spend your day?”  or “What are you going to do now?” We all have choices to make in life, and I pray that after you hear my choice for this morning, you will...

It’s a Praying-Kind-of-Day. When is it not a praying-kind-of-day? In Ephesians 6:18 we read, Pray in the Spirit at all times.  Pray with all kinds of prayers, and ask for everything you need.  To do this you must always be ready.  Never give up.  Always pray for all...

Have you ever spoon fed a baby, and while attempting to have them eat, you open your mouth so that they can imitate the action?  Still to this day, when I feed a baby, I open my mouth when I give them food. Oh, and don’t forget the “mmmm” sound too. (I bet many of you...

What impresses God? So many of us TRY so hard to impress others.  The way we dress, who we associate ourselves with, the jobs we obtain, the amount of money we make, the cars we drive, the home or neighborhood we live in, the “trophy spouse” by our side, and on and...

Perspective. It is a wet wintery morning here in central Florida.  The temperature is forty degrees (with “feels like” in the 30s), and the precipitation is at 100%. The wind gust often has the rain streaming horizontally across the pasture.  Windchill factor is in...

I’m walking into 2018 with hope and excitement. Wait…I said walking!  Yes!  Heck, Tim and I were DANCING the midnight hour in, when 2018 approached. Two observances here… 1)      I wasn’t walking OR dancing last New Year’s.  My foot was still propped up from receiving...

Do you let your independence sometimes get in the way of doing the right thing? Do you feel that you need to make your life right BEFORE you come to Jesus? These are the questions that came to my mind (after a while, not right away…days later…you’ll see) after an...

“…She wrapped him snugly in strips of cloths and placed him in a manager…” Luke 2:7 NLT Multiplying is taken place in our family, and I’m not talking about math.  One niece had a baby about eight months ago, another just a year ago.  My step-sister-in-love gave birth...

Here I am! I stand at the fence and moo. If you hear my voice and come see me, I will eat with you. And you will eat with me. Okay, maybe not quite the words the verse truly reads, nevertheless Revelation 3:20 is the bible verse that came to mind in the latest cow...
