Have you ever been reading your Bible, and all of a sudden you come across a passage and you seem frozen to it?  You try and read on, but you find yourself going back to what you just read.  Why am I drawn to this all of a sudden?  I know I’ve certainly read it … More Being Like A Well-Manicured Lawn

In my dreams, I guess I’ve always thought of myself as more of a country girl than a city girl.  I picture myself on a little wooden swing hanging from a big tree; and as I swing back and forth my pigtails are blowing back and forth wildly in the wind.  Ah… I’d love to … More Well That Wasn’t Very Smart!

Who’s your favorite person in the Bible?  I know a lot of people who choose the same one as me:  Peter. Why do I like him so much?  Because he’s just like us – so human.  Don’t you have those times when you open your mouth and insert your foot?  I do!  Peter was the … More Guess I’ll Just Go Back To Fishing – Not!

Doo-dee-doo – just strolling along…  All of a sudden, you feel like you’re being watched!  Your inner guard goes up and you find yourself paying a lot more attention to just who and what is around you at the moment. You start walking towards an area which is more populated, and the lighting is better.  … More Who’s Watching?

Back when I started blogging about 1-1/2 years ago, I wrote a post called Up & Down and Up & Down.  Basically it’s a synopsis of one of my “roller-coasters of life,” when again I found myself sitting back and saying:  I just don’t get it – why, why, and why…  In that post, it … More Fighting The “It’s Not Fair” Syndrome

So my friends – what’s your testimony?  Don’t say “I really don’t have one,” because you do!  All Christians have a testimony – a time when God picked you up out of the mud and mire; or strengthened you when you were feeling beat upon by someone. Easter was drawing near in 2006, and one … More Shakin’ & Quakin’ – But For God, It’s Worth It

In my last post Pursuing Your Field Of Dreams, I wrote about how God does want to give you the desires of your hearts. But how do you feel when He doesn’t? Contentment is a huge issue, isn’t it?  I’ve written a lot in previous posts about my emotions, and how a lot of times … More Being Content No Matter What

Remember the movie Field of Dreams? Iowa farmer Ray (Kevin Costner) hears a mysterious voice one night in his cornfield saying, “If you build it, he will come.”  He has no idea what that means, until he starts seeing a baseball field in his head.  So eventually he ends up building a baseball diamond on … More Pursuing Your Field Of Dreams

Many years ago I was doing the closing wrap-up at my ladies Bible study group on John 4, which talks about Jesus and His divine appointment with a Samaritan woman.  This woman was shunned even by her own people. For those of you not very familiar with the Samaritans, let’s just say they were not … More Going The Extra Mile For Jesus – Are You Up For It?

How do you look at things?  Before you make a determination on something, do you research all the facts, and maybe ask a few questions? Or do you just assume you know what a person means and then just go with it?  Because after all, you know your assumption must be right! My husband Gary … More But, I Didn’t Mean That!
