Wars have been fought over it. People have been arrested, tortured, and killed over it. There have been periods in history I cannot believe even happened because of it. People marking their spiritual territory. Through the ages there have been people who firmly believe that “it is my way or the highway.” I have run … Continue reading Territorial
With summer coming, we need cool refreshing beverages. Smoothies are one such drink. It is a cold, fruit-based blended drink, usually composed of a variety of fruits. Before the Ten Commandments, the first command found in the Bible is in Genesis 1:22. God commands Adam and Eve to be fruitful and increase in number, or … Continue reading Smoothie
Boy oh boy, I've been asking for it! And trust me when I say, He let me have it! No, this is not how it sounds but way better! I have been praying the Scriptures a lot since last year. I have been writing them down in a little book I can carry with me … Continue reading Ask for it!
My last post was about Transformers. This is the sequel, Transformers, Trinity Force. Yes that is an actual thing. How cool is that, as this post is about the Trinity, the Triune God, or Tetragrammaton. (Sounds like a Transformer name to me!) The Tetragrammaton is the four-letter Hebrew word הוה transliterated as YHWH, or the … Continue reading Transformers: Trinity Force

Thanks to the pandemic, my thought was, how nice that they were wearing their masks. The second was regarding the man riding shotgun. He was seated on the … Continue reading Riding shotgun
We have all lived it. We have all been on the receiving end of it. Jealousy, the green-eyed monster. A feeling of envy, especially of a rival. It is also defined as covetousness. Which is the tenth of the Ten Commandments. In my last post I promised the rest of the story behind David's older … Continue reading Green-eyed Monster
I have been reviewing 2020 to look for moments I can be grateful for. The biggest one has been the connections I've made with others.

In my efforts to be more mindful to express gratitude daily, I realized that sometimes it is the simple pleasures that brings us to a place of thankfulness.
