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
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.

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.

They describe the qualities and attitudes valued in the Kingdom of Heaven, emphasizing grace and spiritual fulfillment rather than material wealth or … Continue reading Attitude
This coming Friday I will be in court as an expert witness in a case. I have done this in the past and it is never pleasant, no matter how prepared I am. It just puts you on edge. But I'll be okay. I just finished reading Bob Goff's book Love Does and was thrilled … Continue reading Live Palms Up
As it is so busy at my office during tax season, my boss (me) told her employee (also me) that she would need to eat lunch at the office. So I am (we are) eating in. Lately I have been amazed by people's testimonies. I cannot get enough of seeing the goodness of God showing up … Continue reading Powerful
During this Lent season, where I am fasting from taking offense, a fellow blogger asked me, “What are you going to replace it with?” Boy that hit me right between the eyes! So I stopped everything and asked God. After just sitting with it awhile, I felt God saying this—My love. Two simple yet incredibly … Continue reading Lent 2026 #5 Cleaning House
