Across a good deal of the United States we are experiencing record high temperatures. At my house we have an outdoor thermometer that has a digital readout inside. When I ask my husband how hot it is, he replies, “Hotter than Africa!” So my brain made a connection when a friend of mine recently told … Continue reading Hotter than Africa
I hate auto-correct... It always makes me say things I don't Nintendo. As I was typing my rough draft of this post, I thought auto-correct would choke on my word wot. But it didn't. Apparently it stands for World Of Tanks, and online gaming platform. My use of it is different, Waste Of Time. (Of … Continue reading Wot?!
We all have them. Those stories you love hearing over and over again. One of the ladies in the nursery at my church said one little girl wants to hear about Daniel in the lion's den every Sunday. As it is being read, the little girl is whispering the same words to the story. She … Continue reading Do the right thing
I know, I know. No one likes listening to a whiner, but we got hit with another snowstorm where I live and the wind was blowing too, which pushed the snow into all the beautiful perimeter paths we shoveled along the fence to keep the dogs in the yard. This winter I feel like a … Continue reading Perimeter security

I replied, “Yes I am, and I did the job exactly as you told me to, but there's blood everywhere! What do you … Continue reading Dead weight
I had a conversation with a lady recently that really made me think. She mentioned how when she received a bad health diagnosis, the nurse in the room came up to her and put her arm around her. The woman got mad, thinking she didn't need anyone's pity, and angrily left the room and walked … Continue reading Solace
Today my post contains one of my favorite words, vassal. I even did a post on it back in October 24, 2018. (https://godstillspeakstoday.com/2018/10/24/im-the-lords-vassal/) So when I heard this word in a movie the other evening, fief, I was led to investigate and use as a post. A fief was an element of medieval contracts based … Continue reading Fief
I recently had one of those situations, where I was caught up in the moment, and the words just slipped out of my mouth. But I was not embarrassed by what came out. I was outside shoveling snow. It was so peaceful and quiet, and I was just quietly praising God. I got so caught … Continue reading It just slipped out!
A fellow reader suggested I re-post this today. So I am. Happy Thanksgiving! I try to count my blessings with regularity. It takes my mind off the negative and focuses on what positive things I do have in my life. I have been taking it to a new level lately by witnessing what I am … Continue reading Things I’m grateful for
