I live in a small community in the Colorado Rockies. I was dumbfounded this week by the number of people who were woebegone over the U.S. mid-term elections. Defined, woebegone is feeling, showing, or expressing deep sorrow, or grief. Some of their predictions of what the future is going to hold were grim. Skyrocketing prices. … Continue reading Woebegone
Flattery will get you no where. Now a Mercedes on the other hand... I've been the recipient of someone trying to flatter me to get something from me. It was gross. Why did they think that would work better than sincerely asking me outright? Two of my favorite passages are in 2 Chronicles 20 and … Continue reading Flattery
First of all, what a great eye, catching title to a post! Sometimes you just read something that makes you do a double take. I was reading Jeremiah 13:1-11 last night and came across this. God told me, “Go and buy yourself some linen shorts. Put them on and keep them on. Don’t even take … Continue reading Dirty underwear
Some things came up yesterday. News from a couple of people that took my breath away. And not in a good way. I felt like Job's friends just sitting with them in silence, feeling their pain. I put myself in their shoes and tried to understand what it felt like for them. Thankfully, I did … Continue reading Their shoes

Keep looking up. We are now one day closer to being with Jesus for all eternity. That should bring you hope. I know it does me. © 2026 Fluffy Puppy Publishing All Rights Reserved
Sometimes you just need to let go and drop some things that are preventing your growth in Jesus. You need to leave them in the dust. Defined, it means to easily defeat, to go far ahead, and to abandon or leave behind. Sometimes people just feel the need to sling their garbage onto you. We … Continue reading Leave it in the dust
I'll admit it. God has called me out on being lazy. And that's why I love blogging, so I can share with you what He is sharing with me. I know the Bible says to pray always, without ceasing. (1 Thes. 5:17) That is just downright impossible! Thankfully, with God, all things are possible. (Matt … Continue reading Be specific
Is is God's longing to communicate with us heart to heart. Sometimes kids have the best solutions. We adults tend to over complicate things. From Fil Anderson's book, Running on Empty, he mentions how he and his then eight year old son were discussing a high school retreat Fil was about to talk at. His … Continue reading Out of the mouth of babes
Recently I had to take an earring to the jeweler, as the stone had fallen out of its setting. I was lucky that I did not lose the stone, but could have it put back into earrings I've had since the early 1990's. I love God's timing. Just this morning I read this from Chuck … Continue reading Setting
