Ever get wrapped up in all the mess? Angry or despairing? Heartbroken or lost? Too easy these days. The constant of fear, worry, the unknown – words and actions of others that seem out of control. How do we navigate? When all I want… Continue Reading “Passing Through…”

If today was you’re last one, would you do anything different? Would you surrender your heart to Jesus? Would you surrender your way to His? What would you do or not do? We’ve heard this before. Boils down to living like the next minute… Continue Reading “Last Chance…”

Half of this year is gone. A year called 2020 that cleverly was touted as 20/20 – as in vision. I think we were blind. The year is a blur even though it is void of so many of life’s normals. It has been… Continue Reading “If We Will…”

A rumbling whoosh of electricity – exclamations of ‘what was that?’. He runs outside checking, I go from room to room. Then I see it, fire in the oven. The element in our oven super-heated as I warmed breakfast. We called about replacement parts,… Continue Reading “6 Replacements, No 7”

We are obsessed – with electronic communication. Be it social media, text, email – all is a blinking prompt and words sent in seconds – that can’t be taken back. Even the best of writers are often misinterpreted, let alone the text that comes… Continue Reading “Enemy Approaching…”

A friend said she makes her list then asks God what His agenda is – instead of bless her list, she asks what on this list is Your agenda, so it can be blessed. Mouth hanging open. Simple. (I think I’m slow.) Yes, of course, in our… Continue Reading “Lips to Give…”
