We all have a past. I, for one, would like to forget many of my past mistakes and erase them totally. Some memories in our past either make us feel guilty, ashamed or embarrassed and for some, may include horrible things that were done to us. Whatever the past looks like, the enemy takes pleasure in […]

God’s Nudge
Are you the best you can be? Hmm. Some may think they are and some are pretty convinced they are. Oh, there are days I know I don’t give 100% due to not feeling well, consumed by my own thinking or just “not in the mood” to go above and beyond my own expectations. Being […]
Engaged
I have a two-year-old running around my house and the other morning while I was getting out of the shower, I saw my bible laying on the floor. The thought came to my head, “that is so disrespectful to my bible”; then I thought “When I don’t use it, look at it or engage it […]
Strong Enough
“I’m not strong enough, I can’t take anymore (You can lay it down, you can lay it down) And my shipwrecked faith will never get me to shore (You can lay it down, you can lay it down) Can He find me here? Can He keep me from going under” from Oh My Soul by […]
Red Letters
I listen to Christian radio all day long. It’s such an inspiration, hearing the messages of Jesus Christ through music. One of my new favorites is “The Red Letters”. Oh my gosh! The first time I heard the words, the tears started streaming down my face. It describes how before we invited Jesus into our […]
Never Give Up
If you are a parent of adult children, you know all too well how hard it is to sit back and watch them make mistakes, make the wrong choices and maybe head down the wrong road. Not long ago, my son was struggling with marital issues. It was extremely difficult for me not to take […]
Worthless Facts
This is one of those worthless facts you learn through life. Did you know when you catch crawdads (crayfish) you don’t have to put a lid on the bucket? That’s because every time one tries to get out, the others pull him back down. This reminds me of how destructive it is to just worry […]
Your Part?
What is Your contribution to the “Kingdom of God”? Maybe you have a special talent or gift that you share to the world. Maybe you sing in the choir, maybe you give generously to local charities or maybe you just have a listening ear. Wherever you are in your life, rich, just getting by, busy […]
Truth
Sometimes it is hard to hear the truth. We dont want to be corrected in our thinking or told what we have seen or told was a lie. We don’t want to admit we are wrong. Some, either consciously or subconsciously, totally shut down and ignore the truth. 2 Timothy 4:3 tells us, “For a […]
Clear Picture
I’m revealing my age here but does anyone remember the “One Step” camera back in the 70’s? The idea of it was that you snap a picture, the picture comes out instantly and you waited a little while for the picture to become crystal clear. Looking at it as a life lesson, things can happen in […]
