This series on worship has come slowly and has been a challenge. God demands truthfulness and transparency, and it is impossible to write without His inspiration! I have had to search deep and be stretched to grow by the Spirit as we have examined my own personal worship together. It has changed my view ofContinue reading “The Highest Form of Worship”

Broken Promises
At some point, all of us have either crossed our hearts or performed a pinky swear over issues that seemed foundational to our peace of mind at tender young ages. Most have sworn allegiance to secret clubs in treehouses or make-do forts. I can still recite my brownie and Girl Scout pledges. We learned earlyContinue reading “Broken Promises”
Please Pass the Salt
Last year about this time, Jim and I made a visit to the ER, and as a result, Jim was hospitalized for a few days. He experienced an episode of Atrial fibrillation. If you are unfamiliar with this, it is where the heart develops an arrhythmia. The doctors tried a few types of medicine, butContinue reading “Please Pass the Salt”
En Garde
Almost every youngster has grabbed up a stick or a broom handle and wielded it as a sword in the childhood world make-believe where damsels in distress call out and knights of honor rush to rescue. At Christmas, cardboard rolls from wrapping paper lend themselves well to assuring who remains king of the hill. WhatContinue reading “En Garde”
Last, but not Least.
If you follow my blog, you may have noticed a delay. Usually, I write weekly, and it is then posted. However, I struggled to gain perspective when I arrived at this article of armor in the series. After prayerfully meditating, I read several translations etc. I decided to write and confess that I don’t knowContinue reading “Last, but not Least.”
More than Sunday Shoes?
I was fortunate enough to grow up in a place where school started after the Labor Day holiday. I loved school and was eager to return, except for one aspect, it meant I would have to put on a pair of shoes. Labor Day meant the barefoot days of summer were behind me. I complainedContinue reading “More than Sunday Shoes?”
Chest Trauma
Having worked in a hospital for several years, I have had the privilege and responsibility of helping patients recover from various traumas. One of the most painful recoveries is for those who sustained chest trauma in auto or industrial accidents. People who experience this will confirm that the pain is excruciating. One patient said sheContinue reading “Chest Trauma”
Holding it Alll Together
On the back of my closet door are a row of hooks. They function as a catch-all of the things Jim and I like to conveniently lay our hands on quickly. Stuff like hats, warm-up jackets to take the dogs outside, and an array of belts. I occasionally grab a belt to go with myContinue reading “Holding it Alll Together”
The Struggle with Despair…. Finding Hope
With the leftovers from Thanksgiving consumed and the Christmas decorations popping up in the neighborhood (my house included), it isn’t hard for me to catch the spirit of ‘Christmas is coming! When I was a little girl, I always wrote my letter to Santa Thanksgiving weekend and made sure Daddy put it in the mail MondayContinue reading “The Struggle with Despair…. Finding Hope”
The Struggle with Fairness…Finding Justice
Have you taken notice of the current trend that the wonderful world of entertainment offers all of us? Almost every channel offers some version of court proceedings. People like Judge Judy and Judge Wapner became household names due to the public rubbernecking of seeing folks get their day in court. You can see who theContinue reading “The Struggle with Fairness…Finding Justice”
