Through the Eyes of a Lion: Book Review

  A sweet woman kindly reviewed my book earlier this year. Prior to seeing her blog post as a book review, it had never occurred to me to do the same for someone else. Today it’s my turn to do the same for pastor Levi Lusko, author of Through the Eyes of a Lion: Facing […]

Tempted to be a People Pleaser? Resist!

This week I read Mark 6:14-29 with my son: John the Baptist’s Head is Cut Off. (Who says the Bible is boring? Great reading just after eating breakfast, right?) In this passage we learn that King Herod knew John was a holy man who did what was right, and though what John said puzzled Herod, […]

When bad news is also good news.

As I get older, I find my heart and message honing in on some key themes in life. I think that is what God does for each of us as we walk closely with Him. He gives us a piece of His heart. None of us can comprehend every facet of our great God, but […]

Smile! You have the joy of salvation!

This week I went to the grocery store with my son. Just as we were ready to leave, I said to him, “Wait a minute. Let me check my list one more time to make sure we got everything.” I stopped right there next to the refrigerated milk section and looked down to check my […]

Sticking up for small houses

It’s spring! The earth is showing off her glory as blooms of all colors burst forth from the green foliage coming alive once again after a long winter’s sleep. Something else is popping up all over town too. For Sale signs. Spring is the most popular season to put a house on the market. Because […]

Panning for Gold. God does it too.

I toured a gold mine with my son last week. Loved every minute. Loved being with him. Loved learning. Turns out, gold was discovered in Georgia in 1829, twenty years before the California gold rush in 1848. I did not know gold is found in veins of quartz ranging from the width of a pencil […]

Husbands, beware!

Last week I wrote a post entitled, Wives, beware! In that post I was confessing the danger I pose to my husband and family when I do not handle the power my husband grants me with great care. My scriptural support was based on Genesis 3 and supplemented by research in Interpersonal Communication. I hope […]

Wives, beware!

This week I present part one of a two part series: Beware! This week: Wives, beware! Next week: Husbands, beware! My inspiration for such a series comes from two sources. First, I have been pondering a certain passage of Scripture that has huge implications for me as a wife. Second, I have been pondering how […]

Easter Sunday

  He is risen! Today Jesus proved once and for all that He really did have power over death like He said He did. We really can believe in life after death. We really can believe heaven is real. After the sadness of Friday and the sad suspension of silent Saturday, today we have the […]

Silent Saturday

This is part two of my three part thinking this Easter. Good Friday is now over. Easter is tomorrow. What about today? Today is silent as we wait in suspension. God seems to be nowhere today while we are waiting in-between. Have you ever had a season like that? I am in one right now. […]
