I had a WWJD (What Would Jesus Do) moment this week as a result of the bridge failure where I live. (See my previous post https://godstillspeakstoday.com/2024/04/20/i-did-not-see-that-coming/) The state and county worked really hard to open a detour on a dirt county road to allow us access, twice a day. After five days in town I … Continue reading WWJD Moment

We all have choices
There are some days I just astound myself. It is at times like these that I am overwhelmed with gratitude of what Jesus did for me. Someone said something mean and accusing and before I knew it I reacted in a bad way. “ I don't really understand myself, for I want to do what … Continue reading We all have choices
Exponential
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
A fall to my knees moment
I love babies. My favorite thing when my son was a baby was the smell of his head. I guess that's why I love the line in the song Away in a Manger that says “the little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head.” So when I read this the other day about His precious … Continue reading A fall to my knees moment

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
Repeat after me
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
White knuckle grip of death
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
Identify
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
Walnuts
I remember as a youngster, we would always get an assortment of mixed nuts, in the shell, for Christmas. Then have to go rooting around in the junk drawer in the kitchen for the nutcracker, My favorite was (and is) the walnuts. So as I was thinking about the upcoming Christmas season, I was astounded … Continue reading Walnuts
