If’s, And’s & But’s

(Recommended reading - preferably from the NIV translation - Leviticus 26) Have you read the book of Leviticus lately? Well, let’s be honest - it’s a very hard book of the Bible to get through - at least for me it is. It’s so full of a multitude of complex laws that God gave to … Continue reading If’s, And’s & But’s →

Nodding In Agreement

I don’t know if you’re like me or not, but I have been known to listen to sermons, speeches, motivational talks, etc. and hear things I really like. Nodding in agreement, I determine that I’m going to step up to the plate, do my share, take action, get things done! I may even make a … Continue reading Nodding In Agreement →

Rejection

I don’t believe that any one of us can escape this world without experiencing the feeling of rejection. It’s a very unpleasant experience, to say the least. I also realize it’s not a very uplifting topic for discussion. So why did I choose to write about it this week? Because I’ve been dealing with some … Continue reading Rejection →

Just A Little Bit More

We live in a world that tends to promote greed. We always want more - many times not because we really NEED something, but simply because we WANT it. There can be a great divide between that want and need and we don’t use restraint and good judgment - we tend to just overindulge ourselves. … Continue reading Just A Little Bit More →

Mother

She was my confidant and adviser when I was an adult - especially as I went through some of my more difficult times. She was a strong, smart, fun-loving, confident woman that gave me a wonderful … Continue reading Mother →

Through The Eyes Of Love

Here are a few lines from one of my daily devotionals this week: “...the whole identity of the Messiah covers those who believe in Him. We are in Him and He is in us…We and Jesus are inseparable…We have become one with Him, and God loves it. The Father can’t love Jesus without loving us … Continue reading Through The Eyes Of Love →

Impossible Dream

Perfection is something that I guess we all dream about for our lives. But let’s face it - we know that it’s an impossible dream. However, that does not mean that we cannot strive to be the very best that we can be. Even that however is a real daily challenge. This morning during my … Continue reading Impossible Dream →

Shining Example

I would like for you to think about something for a few minutes. How are you REALLY living your day-to-day life? Is it being lived in such a way that when others are around you they notice how you think, speak and act differently? Or, do you just blend in with the crowd, regardless of … Continue reading Shining Example →

Plan of Action

(Recommended Reading: Joshua 1:1-9 Message translation) Have you ever had a job or led a volunteer effort when you needed to put together a “Plan of Action”? I have. When I was still working in sales, I would have to put together a list of goals for the next year, then a Plan of Action … Continue reading Plan of Action →

From Death Row To Freedom

(Recommended reading John chapter 12 through chapter 21 – whatever translation you prefer) As I was considering what to write for today, I looked back to see what I had published for Easter in previous years. I originally wrote this the first Easter after I started this blog (2019) and I chose to "recycle" it … Continue reading From Death Row To Freedom →
