Hello, sweet friends! LOVE the comments you’ve shared…thank you, thank you!! Clearly, I did NOT make it through the 31 day challenge. October brought some unexpected challenges but many, many, MANY blessings as well! Life is changing for me (in some really big ways) and I look forward to telling you more about that. But, … [Read more…]
Luke 12:33 says, “Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.” This verse implies there’s a currency of heaven that doesn’t look like the currency of this world. If that’s true, we would do well to learn … [Read more…]
Hello, friends! I’m actually a little late with my 10/10 post… (it’s like 3:30 in the morning on 10/11). Whoops! I went to bed last night thinking I had everything covered.

With heartfelt concern he asked, “Who has bewitched you?” (Galatians 3) and then he goes on to say, “It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was … [Read more…]
Thank you, dear friends for encouragement! I’m thankful for you! And I’m thankful for some time to rest tonight. Hopefully this will be the shortest of my posts! I find myself feeling quite restless today. I know when that happens, I need some downtime. A quiet evening with a good book. That’s how I practice what … [Read more…]
I’m getting to my writing late again. That’s been the way this challenge has been for me thus far; squeezing in a post a couple hours before the midnight cutoff. I’ve been approaching writing in a sleepy state and finding corrections need to be made the following morning. It’s got me wondering if maybe I have … [Read more…]
Isn’t it funny how little we take care of ourselves yet how frustrated we get about our stress levels? It’s interesting to me how often we take our stress out on God. I mean, think about it: How often do we gripe at God for the life we live yet we seldom allow Him to … [Read more…]
It’s been a long day. As I settle in for sleep, I recall the good things of the day. This morning, I spoke at a meeting for young women on a local college campus. I looked in their sweet faces and was reconnected with a once familiar feeling; one that made me affectionately appreciate how … [Read more…]
