Smart Lights

I have been told many times that opposites attract. Often this is never more true than in marriage. Jim and I have different opinions about taste, temperature, sports teams, etc. However, one of the few things we agree on is Christmas decorating. We both love Christmas and look forward to trimming out the house andContinue reading “Smart Lights”

Come On In!

I never cease to be surprised by God’s timing of circumstances. The direction of this series of writings was scheduled out long before I realized how specific they would be in my own personal life. This past Sunday was my last day of teaching a life group at a church I have been a memberContinue reading “Come On In!”

Family Tradition

I had the blessing of coming up through a large extended family. When I was a child, being together for a holiday was a big deal. We planned at New Year’s if we would have a Tennessee Christmas or a Michigan one that year. This meant either my grandparents came to all of us orContinue reading “Family Tradition”

The Great I AM

As I was watching the news this morning, the plight of container ships at the ports and the lack of supplies in the American marketplace dominated the headlines of the reports. Everything from cars, car parts, electronics, hardware, bicycles, pet supplies, and toys remain afloat in seaports. At the same time, consumers progressively shop fromContinue reading “The Great I AM”

In The Here and the Hereafter

Certainly, when it comes to saving the best for last, Psalm 91 delivers! It blesses us with the promise that our lives and times are in the hands of God. We have traveled through this Psalm and been reminded of all the dangers we face in life but assured that the Most High God wouldContinue reading “In The Here and the Hereafter”

Making A Person-To-Person Call

Every once in a while, when I am writing, an idea comes to me that I think..” uh oh, not everyone will get this reference.” But some things fit so well; I have to carry on. Today as I was reading Psalm 91 and meditating on the above verses, I couldn’t help but think ofContinue reading “Making A Person-To-Person Call”

Lions and Cobras, and Dragons Oh My!

One of the amazing revelations, as I continue to grow in my relationship with the Lord, is how many teachable moments there are in my daily life. God uses everything from dogs to diamonds to affirm His truth in my life. As I grow and write, more and more, I am reminded of the experiencesContinue reading “Lions and Cobras, and Dragons Oh My!”

Angels Watching Over Me, My Lord

While the smell of pumpkin is in the air and sunflowers and autumn leaves adorn most of the doors in my neighborhood, I have noticed 2 aisles over in the home stores Christmas is already on the way. My comment is always that I want to shake hands with pilgrims before angels spread their wingsContinue reading “Angels Watching Over Me, My Lord”

Camping With Confidence

For the most part, I am an outdoor girl. From early morning to after sunset, I like to be outdoors. Reading, gardening, swimming, eating, walking if it can be done, I want it to be done outside. My pipe dream is an outdoor kitchen!. However, when it is time to turn in, the hardwood floorsContinue reading “Camping With Confidence”

Vaccinated for Victory

I have to admit when it comes to this portion of Psalm 91, I have very mixed emotions about this passage. Especially given that we are in a global pandemic. After much prayer, I decided not to evade or avoid this part of the scripture. I know that God promises in His word in 2Continue reading “Vaccinated for Victory”
