Be specific
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
Out of the mouth of babes
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
You’re asking the wrong question
There he is minding his own business tending his father-in-laws flocks. When Moses was having his morning coffee, he would not in a million years have expected his day to begin with seeing a bush that does not burn up. The best part was that he turned and he looked.

I never … Continue reading Pearly Gates
Another Wow moment
I was listening to the Bible on my drive home Friday and when I heard this verse (John 8:14) I had to pull over for a moment. Jesus said, “for I know where I came from and where I am going.” He was answering the Pharisees who wanted more proof of who He was. But … Continue reading Another Wow moment
Perspective
Seventh grade was eye opening for me. It was there I learned I love math and science. I also had an art teacher who opened up new horizons for my mind as well. The class on perspective was fantastic.
