Roving Hearts & Eyes = Unfaithfulness = Pain
[The Lord said,] “‘Your fugitives will remember me in the nations to which they’ve been banished, how I was crushed when their roving hearts turned away from me, and their roving eyes went after their idols. They will loathe themselves for their treacherous acts and detestable practices,’” (Ezekiel 6:9 CEB) Another translation (VOICE) puts a … Continue reading Roving Hearts & Eyes = Unfaithfulness = Pain
One-Size-Fits-All
Have you ever purchased something that is “one-size-fits-all”? Then you get it home & try it on and it either #1 - swallows you up like a tent? Or, #2 - is WAY too tight in all the wrong places? Regardless of which scenario is yours, you then have to wonder - WHOSE size are … Continue reading One-Size-Fits-All
Doing What Is Right
If we want God’s favor in our lives, we must do what is right. In the Genesis story about Cain and Abel we have the perfect story and example of this. “...Abel became a shepherd, but Cain was a farmer. After some time Cain brought some of his harvest and gave it as an offering … Continue reading Doing What Is Right
HOW I ARRIVED AT KARRAN’S KORNER
Back in 2018 I attended a class at the church I was attending at that time. There were several goals for the class, but one of them was to discover your strengths and gifts. Once you did that, then the hope was that the women attending would discover a “Passion Project”, then move forward into … Continue reading HOW I ARRIVED AT KARRAN’S KORNER
Laughing Out Loud!

But the Old Testament seems to come across as more serious most of the time. However…back in September my Bible reading took me to a story … Continue reading Laughing Out Loud!
Get Up And Go
Do you ever have a prompting to go and/or do something that you just don’t quite understand? Maybe you rationalize, thinking it’s just your imagination? But, what if it’s not? What if God is trying to accomplish something for you, or through you for someone else? On September 9th, my daily devotional spoke to me … Continue reading Get Up And Go

Becoming A Complete Woman (I apologize to my male readers, because the focus of today’s article is on women. However, I hope you will enjoy reading it anyway.) One of the definitions of the word “luck” is: the good or bad things that happen by chance. Now I ask you this, do you really want … Continue reading No Luck Required
Let Them Serve As Signs
(All scripture references are from the NIV) How does God intend for us to use the stars, sun and moon in our lives? Will they be able to tell us that we should do this thing, not that thing? Go here, go there? Many believe so, consulting their horoscopes daily. But we need to be … Continue reading Let Them Serve As Signs
Just As Before
Daniel 6:4, 10-16, 25-27 (NIV) Daniel chapter 6 is one of my very favorites. It tells us how King Darius set up 120 men to be officers in his kingdom, with three Governors over them – one of those Governors being Daniel. Daniel did such an outstanding job that Darius was planning to set him … Continue reading Just As Before
