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”
Right on Target
While reflecting on this portion of The Psalm For the Season series, I started making a list of everything I knew about Bow and arrows and targets. The first list was short, for I know little about archery other than the 2-week stint in high school gym class where we received more lectures on theContinue reading “Right on Target”
Light as a Feather
Recently, I discovered there is a new fad in the bedding market that is quite popular. It is known as the weighted blanket. When I read the label, I laughed and thought this would have been a great thought when I was writing the devotion on rest. The info on the packaging says that usingContinue reading “Light as a Feather”
The Nest of Rest
Whoever Dwells in the Shelter of the Most-High WILL REST in the shadow of the Almighty, I will say of the LORD. “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust.” A fast hard rule growing up in the Phillips household was upon arising, you made your bed — period. WhenContinue reading “The Nest of Rest”
The Highest of All
There is nothing our family enjoys more than a good old-fashioned challenge, especially when it comes to trivia games. We are competitive by nature, and many family vacations have brought us nightly contests like guys against girls, parents taking on the kids, etc. We love when the questions are clever and obscure, hoping against hopeContinue reading “The Highest of All”
Where Do I Live?
As I begin this new series on Psalm 91, I’m reminded that I love words. It must be related to the writer’s heart God has placed within me. I have had this strange relationship with words even as a child. I would learn a new word or focus on one I already knew and seeContinue reading “Where Do I Live?”
The Psalm for The Season
In the place where I live, it is currently the hurricane season. This means reminders in the grocery store, the tv commercials, and the news encouraging us to make preparations and be ready. After residing here for 17 years, I have learned to keep batteries, drinking water, extra canned goods and let my freezer stockContinue reading “The Psalm for The Season”
Donkeys and Mustangs
One of the great benefits of growing up in Detroit was how much the automobile influences the culture. The Motor City and its folks are proud of its auto history, and almost everyone either worked for or had family who worked for or was connected to the big 3. Henry Ford is hailed as aContinue reading “Donkeys and Mustangs”
