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?”
Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner
One of things I have missed the most over these last 3 months is having people in for a meal. I love to cook and have been accused of being a “foodie” on more than one occasion. I like planning a meal, shopping, and setting the table. Especially setting the table! I’m guilty of having aContinue reading “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner”
He Comforts
Anyone who knows me or is remotely close to me knows I am a Daddy’s girl through and through. Though both my parents were loving and committed, it was Dad we asked for or turned to when we were sick, frightened or distressed. He had an innate way of comfort about him. Between mom andContinue reading “He Comforts”
Even Though
In my home over the main hallway arch are two words that I see several times a day. It was a gift from a friend who knows these words are from some of my favorite scripture in Habakkuk 3: “Even Though.” The words are a big reminder for me not to lose my perspective in the middleContinue reading “Even Though”
The Right Path
Fads and trends come and go, clothes go in and out of style quickly and along with these fickle seasons come buzzwords. These words hang around for a while and then after they have made their mark on our culture, they retire to a status quickly defined as retro. What was once groovy, became cool, thenContinue reading “The Right Path”
He Restores.
He was an awkward child, born severely cross-eyed into a home of not one but two raging alcoholic parents. He was the youngest of 5 children and was 2 years old when social services came into his home and took custody of him and his other siblings. The agency estimated that the children had beenContinue reading “He Restores.”
He Leads
I recently decided I would not follow the news as closely as I had been. I realized staying in the know had taken on a different dimension, and had moved me from being informed to being transformed. I could start my day with a prayerful attitude to accompany my cup of coffee, yet mere minutesContinue reading “He Leads”
