With technology expanding so rapidly, people-pictures are available to us at all hours of the day – sometimes more than we want them to be! But have you ever really stared at someone’s face in a picture (particularly at their eyes) and felt like you were seeing a glimpse of Jesus? My husband and I … More Looking God In The Face
Years ago I came to know a wonderful woman named Verna Birkey, who became an adopted mother to many of us at our church. She was funny, intelligent and didn’t hesitate to let you know if you were heading in the wrong direction! One day she gave me a copy of her book God’s Promises … More God’s Infinite Wisdom vs. My Puny Brain
The rock in the picture below sits on my desk. It has printed on it Psalm 18:2, and was given to me about 10 years ago from a gal that was in my Bible study group. She had no idea at the time how much I really needed that word of encouragement. I had been … More Stand Firm & Give Fully
Are you a leader, a follower … or both? When God opens a door for you to go through, do you immediately say, “OK, Lord,” or do you hang back in the shadows, waiting and watching others before you jump in yourself to test the waters? I want to bring up again my favorite apostle, … More Playing The Procrastination Game
Jeremiah 10:23 (NIV) says, “LORD, I know that people’s lives are not their own; it is not for them to direct their steps.” I read a short story awhile back which spoke of a full bus going down a long, curvy mountain.

I have a problem. Actually I have many problems, but for today I want to focus just on this one: Learning to rest and be content in where God has me. This also includes waiting for God to open doors instead of just holding my nose and jumping into something – and then realizing I’m in waaaay over … More Learning To Rest
On February 19th, I posted a short video on my God of All Comfort Facebook page about real fear that I experienced back when I was a teenager. My best friend for a time was into witchcraft (Fortunetellers, Witches & Other Strange Stuff). That was before I became a Christian. In my teen years I often … More Do Not Fear
I don’t know about you, but it seems to me like the Lord often opens doors of opportunity when we least expect it. And a lot of times He asks us to do things that we never even thought of! About 3 years ago, the Lord blessed our congregation by allowing us to move into … More Yes, Lord
Probably most of you are familiar with the old commercials “Got Milk?” which showcases various people with white milk-mustaches on their faces. But “Peace” is a lot harder to come by sometimes, isn’t it? You can’t just open your refrigerator, grab a carton and have peace come pouring out. There’s only one way to get … More Got Peace?
