Blooming Where I'm Planted, While I Pray, Read, Write & Share

Grace and Blessings

Recommended Reading:  Genesis 42-46 I never fail to be fascinated by the story of Jacob’s son, Joseph.  He was the firstborn son of Jacob’s most favored, desired and beloved wife, Rachel.  He apparently was the favorite among his brothers and they strongly resented him because of it.  If you are familiar with this story, you … Continue reading Grace and Blessings →

Leaning In

(Scripture references from the NIV) A few years ago there was a book published that resulted in the “Lean In” movement.  It was primarily to encourage women to be more assertive and strive to be leaders rather than followers.  It sounded good on the surface but became a very controversial movement that people either loved … Continue reading Leaning In →

Life Is Good!

As frequently happens, I was inspired today by my devotionals for the last few days.  The scripture passage they have been based on is Matthew 7:7-11.  Jesus speaking in a couple of those verses said this: “‘Ask and keep on asking and it will be given to you; seek and keep on seeking and you … Continue reading Life Is Good! →

When Called

I have been reading the book of Jeremiah for a while now and it is an amazing story of one of the greatest prophets of his time.  So many of the things I have read speak to me deeply and I just wanted to share some of them with you - maybe someone else out … Continue reading When Called →

The Joe Btfsplk Syndrome

Recommended Reading:  The Book of Ruth When the idea for this article came to my mind, I thought about the Peanuts cartoon and the character that I pictured in my mind that always had a dark cloud over his head; but, I couldn’t remember his name, so I did an online search.  Well…turns out that … Continue reading The Joe Btfsplk Syndrome →

Do As I Say, Not As I Do

You have likely heard the old saying “Do as I say, not as I do.”  I did a bit of research on the source of that old saying and this is what I found:  “Model yourself after my instructions, not my actions. The phrase implies that the speaker is imperfect and makes mistakes, so one … Continue reading Do As I Say, Not As I Do →

Be Radical – Stand Out From The Crowd

I believe that depending on your predominant personality type - extrovert vs introvert - you may or may not enjoy standing out from the crowd.  I also believe that there are extremes with both of those types as well; i.e. an extrovert that enjoys standing out SO much that they feel slighted if they are … Continue reading Be Radical – Stand Out From The Crowd →

Doubt and Innocence

(Recommended Reading - John 20:1-31) “But Thomas, sometimes called the Twin, one of the Twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples told him, ‘We saw the Master.’  But he said, ‘Unless I see the nail holes in his hands, put my finger in the nail holes, and stick my hand in … Continue reading Doubt and Innocence →

One Kind Word

Today I want to use part of the parable Jesus spoke in Mark 4:30-32 when He told about the mustard seed.  Verse 31b-32 says:  “...a mustard seed, which, when planted, is the smallest of all the seeds in the field; but after it has been planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all the … Continue reading One Kind Word →

FREEDOM

For those of us that have always lived in America, we have pretty much taken our freedoms for granted.  But those freedoms have been eroding for a very long time, little by little.  Some of our politicians are very clever, changing things a bit at a time so that they are not noticed until it … Continue reading FREEDOM →
