The title says it all… When I shared with you over a week ago that I was going to start writing about some of the things I went through during my school years, this particular topic was not in my plans. As a matter of fact, I didn’t even recall these events until the Lord … More Ugh, Do I Really Need to Talk About This?
When I was in high school (way before I became a Christian), my best friend was a practicing witch. Yes, that’s the truth. Now when she first told me that fact, I pooh-poohed it – there’s no such thing as witches! When I would go over to my friend’s home I’d at times see a … More Fortunetellers, Witches & Other Strange Stuff
Loneliness… we all have that need to feel loved, don’t we? Someone we can just cuddle up close to who will tell us how much they love us – how special we are to them… When I was still in grade school our family moved to another city where I just didn’t fit in at … More He Really Cares For Me – I Think…
Talk about a woman with extraordinary faith – I want faith like this! I’m talking about the Canaanite woman in Matt. 15:21-28 (NIV) who cried out to Jesus to help her child who was demon possessed. Jesus tells this woman in v. 26: “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it … More Lord, Did You Really Say…?
OK, I’ll just come out and admit it – the spiritual discipline of fasting is not one discipline that I have practiced very well. As a matter of fact, I can probably count on one hand the times that I have fasted. I’m sure you’re wondering why. The truth: I love to eat! I’m a … More I’m Soooo Hungry! Oh, Really?
The other day I started thinking about a conversation my sister and I had with our mother years and years ago – it was about Jesus. Mother did not yet know Jesus personally, but even so, this conversation opened the eyes of my sister and I to a stark new realization as to just how … More What’s Being Taught In Our Churches?
I don’t know about you, but I’ve heard people say (a lot of times with the “rolling eyes look”) that God just isn’t same same God now as He used to be back in biblical times. This happens at times when I share with others how I believe God told me years ago that He … More Jesus – Is He Really the Same Now as He was Then?
From 1981-1989 (wow – I’m getting old!), my husband and I used to watch a detective show on TV called Simon & Simon. It was about 2 brothers, Rick and AJ Simon, who ran their own private detective agency. Rick was a Vietnam Vet who was very street-smart; whereas AJ was more the do-it-by-the-rules type. … More Fact or Fiction – Who Really Knows?
I have a big mouth. By that I mean I have what I lovingly call the “Peter Syndrome.” Those of you who are familiar with the New Testament might figure out (and rightly so!) that by “Peter” I am talking about the apostle Peter. You see, like Peter I have a habit of shooting off … More Oh, Me and My Big Mouth!
The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 1:3–4 that God is the “Father of compassion and the God of all comfort.” Is that really true? If God really does love me, why did He allow me to go through such horrible times of distress and pain? Why couldn’t I have a “normal” life just like everyone … More The God of My Comfort
