A friend and fellow blogger invited me to do something different for Lent this year. Every day we are reading John 17, and digging deeper to find new insights into the prayer of Jesus right before he was arrested. Verse 20 really stuck out to me. “I am praying not only for these disciples but … Continue reading Exponential
My best friend is a ninja! No, really, it's true! She is so stealthy in how she uses her God given talents to help others. She cleans the church. She delivers meals. She looks in on friends who need a little extra help. Just to name a few. She has been helping a friend to … Continue reading Godsend
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

Last winter I did a post about my white knuckle grip of death drive home in a white-out blizzard. My hands were holding the steering wheel so tightly, my knuckles were white. I had no other choice but to continue the drive, as the visibility was zero, and there was no safe place to turn … Continue reading White knuckle grip of death
Some days you just get overwhelmed. Today I mean it in a good way. I was reading something and was overwhelmed by the goodness of God. To identify is defined as to recognize someone or something and say or prove who or what that person or thing is. It can also mean to feel and … Continue reading Identify
Taking the time to go deeper is proving to be life changing for me this year. On Easter, my best friend and I decided we would pick one Scripture verse a week and memorize it. In doing so, I have been meditating on each verse throughout the week and ask God to reveal what else … Continue reading Going Deeper
