Way back in the last millennium, 1995 to be exact, I had the opportunity to go to Mexico for a month with the business and Spanish departments at my university. I had actually already graduated in May and this trip was scheduled for July. I signed up even though I did not need the credits. … Continue reading Mother tongue
The brain is funny thing. I have a client and friend who goes to my Women's Bible Study. She and her husband have an insurance agency in my office building. When I was picking out a memory verse for the week this is how I read it. "Because you've committed yourself to love and trust … Continue reading Insurance
Oh boy, are we going to have some fun in this post! It is about bartering, or trading goods or services without money changing hands. Say you've got some potatoes from your garden that I'd like to have, and I in turn, have a shovel that would work great in your garden. We agree on … Continue reading Barter
You just never know what may happen next. The very next moment something can happen that catches you unaware. It has happened in my life, in my past, and I don't like the feeling of being unprepared. Not being prideful here, but I've always associated myself with the 5 prepared virgins in Matthew 25. “At … Continue reading I did not see that coming
I'm sure we've all had an encounter with a person like this. They know absolutely everything about everything, and are not at all bashful about sharing their advice and opinions about the situation. Nobody likes a know-it-all. It is especially irritating when the start with, “Well if it were me...” and proceed to tell you … Continue reading Know-it-all
Recently we were watching an old Western movie, and the folks in the wagon train were grateful that they made it across the swollen stream safely. So they stopped to praise God. (Don't see that in many movies nowadays!) One gentleman was very enthusiastic, singing loudly and off key, but he didn't care, he was … Continue reading A classic re-imagined
My dad was great. On this, the anniversary of his graduating into heaven, I was thinking about my Eternal Dad. I found this awhile back and saved it, but did not cite the source. It is really heart warming and lets me know how I am really and truly loved. My Dad loves me and … Continue reading Dad’s love
On a cold day, there is nothing better than snuggling in a warm blanket. It is very relaxing and comforting. So when I read this the other morning, I found great comfort in it. “Are you aware that God knows exactly where you are and what you are doing right now? What about tomorrow or … Continue reading Comforting
A few months back I had a game changing experience. My head, heart and soul literally burst into kittens, rainbows and unicorns! (Well, not really, but it sure felt like it.) Defined, a game changer is a newly introduced element or factor that changes an existing situation or activity in a significant way. “Faith comes … Continue reading Game changer
I've been thinking through some stuff the last couple of years. Some difficult stuff. My dad passed away over a decade ago, and this fall my mom passed. My word of the year for 2024 is Restoration. I actually began unpacking it after my mom passed. Slowly, as the Holy Spirit brought things to remembrance, … Continue reading Repeat after me
