For Unto Us A Child Is Born

At this time of year, we hear a lot of Scriptures from the Bible about the prophecy of the birth of Christ. One of the most popular is Isaiah 9:6 which says, “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and hisContinue reading “For Unto Us A Child Is Born”

I’M ONLY HUMAN? I HOPE SO!

I was made aware of something today that has changed a big, major belief that I’ve had most of my life. You probably have this belief also. It’s the belief that, when we mess up, when we do something completely stupid, hurt someone’s feelings, make some big mistake…we find ourselves saying, “Well, I’m only human.”Continue reading “I’M ONLY HUMAN? I HOPE SO!”

Since You’ve Been Gone

As of today, it’s been one month since my Momma left this earth. Up to now, I’ve counted in days. From here on out, I’ll probably continue to mark it in months, then it’ll be years, and, if I live that long, decades. But I will always count how long it’s been. I’ve had aContinue reading “Since You’ve Been Gone”

Between The Bookends

Have you ever been on a cruise? I really enjoy them; David not so much. He said it feels like “church camp on the ocean.” He doesn’t like the structure that a lot of cruises keep…eating at certain times, games by the pool, karaoke (although he did win first prize one year at a karaokeContinue reading “Between The Bookends”

Time To Start Picking Up Rocks

A couple of posts ago, we talked about the children of Israel in the desert…how they got really tired of having no food. They decided that they’d rather have died in Egypt with full bellies than to die out in the desert with their stomachs gnawing on their backbones. We are all pretty familiar withContinue reading “Time To Start Picking Up Rocks”

In The Meantime

Y’all, I’ve needed to write something for a while, but just haven’t known what. God hasn’t been giving me anything to write about. But he sure is talking to me a lot. My mom is going through some health issues and this is giving me a great bit of concern…so my quiet life has beenContinue reading “In The Meantime”

Un…/ Un…/ Un…

Because of this quarantine/shelter-in-place/isolation/“house arrest” (as one friend calls it lol), we are prone (as we humans are) to get into harmful habits when under pressure and stress and uncertainty. I’m saying this because of the tendency I personally fall into if I’m not painfully and carefully aware of myself. Be very careful not toContinue reading “Un…/ Un…/ Un…”

When It Becomes Too Much

Had a whole other door I was going to walk through with you today…and it was good. But I just thought I better let y’all in on some personal struggles I’m having during this time. Just being real. Last night, I had an emotional breakdown. Suddenly, everything seemed to just come together as a “perfectContinue reading “When It Becomes Too Much”

Stormy Crossings, the Sequel

Mark 6:45-52 (NLT) “Immediately after this, Jesus insisted that his disciples get back into the boat and head across the lake to Bethsaida, while he sent the people home. After telling everyone good-bye, he went up into the hills by himself to pray. “Late that night, the disciples were in their boat in the middleContinue reading “Stormy Crossings, the Sequel”

Stormy Crossings

Today we’re going to talk about another crossing. It’s found in the book of Mark, chapter 4. Here’s the story: “Late that day he said to them, ‘Let’s go across to the other side.’ They took him in the boat as he was. Other boats came along. A huge storm came up. Waves poured intoContinue reading “Stormy Crossings”
