This last month has been rough. Issues with technology at my office and trying to get someone to help get them resolved has been a "process." (Yes, my voice is dripping with sarcasm.) One thing's for sure, it has driven me closer to God and relying on Him before I freaked out. This has been … Continue reading Hand up
I had a dream Tuesday night. I was walking on a cobblestone road, on campus, at dusk. I looked toward the setting sun, then heard three voices singing behind me. I turned to look and it was three college women, riding bikes while harmonizing their song. They were singing, “My Savior's Sword” One started, the … Continue reading Sword
I've had something rolling around in my soul this last week. How do I love God? Seems like a tall order to me. But in reality it is quite simple. We humans just like to complicate things. We need to get back to basics. God created us to love Him. He instilled that need to … Continue reading Back to basics
I find it soothing to use my 94 box of crayons and color pictures. It is restful to me to sit quietly and make art the old fashioned way. I remember when my son was little and we got him his first box of Crayons, you know, the 8 pack ones that are fat for … Continue reading Primary Colors

Once again, it happened to me. And I love when it does. I read a verse that everyone knows, and we kinda blow over it when we read it, because it is so familiar. But this week, BAM! Romans 8:28-29 hit home afresh. The part that stuck out was “God foreknew me.” Defined, foreknow is … Continue reading Once again…
I still remember the first line from 7th grade, when we had a list of prepositions in front of us, and we had to say them out loud, and memorize them. In, on, into, to, at, by, for. A preposition is a function word that typically combines with a noun phrase to form a phrase … Continue reading Prepositions
My small group decided to go through Psalm 119, the longest chapter in the Bible. This week we had an introduction session to go over some cool things, which I shall share with you now. Psalm 119 is an acrostic poem/song. Here's how it works. There are 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet. Each section … Continue reading Poetic
