I'm sitting here at my desk, looking out my window. Today it is bright and sunny. Those are the best days for me. Give me sunshine and I am a happy girl. Light means a lot to me!
Looking at Living Faith Without a Microphone
There was a time when my faith hung on the wall of my office. It wasn’t loud. It wasn’t pushy. It didn’t quote Scripture in bold letters or ask anyone to agree with me. It simply existed—quietly, faithfully—where anyone who walked through my door could see it. It was a to-do list. Pray. Sing. Smile … Continue reading Looking at Living Faith Without a Microphone
Sometimes Those Visible Layers Need a Good Scrub
My return trip from visiting my niece ended up being a longer day than I thought it would. The plan was to get through the flight, grab lunch, go home, get the travel crud washed off in the shower, and relax the rest of the day. As it ended up, I hit two airports, one … Continue reading Sometimes Those Visible Layers Need a Good Scrub
Don’t Be Out There Looking for Trouble
I got all of my “checks” done from the previous post. I made it to the airport — and through the airport! I was a little anxious flying by myself. This was the first time that I had flown by myself since the most recent vision loss. I had an escort from the check-in counter … Continue reading Don’t Be Out There Looking for Trouble
Preparation: How it Looks to Me
If you are going on a journey, you prepare. In getting ready to visit my niece and her husband a plane ride away, I got into preparation mode. Flight? Check. Ground transportation? Check. Suitcase packed? Check. Clean house before I leave? Check. Personal papers laid out where they can be easily found? Check. ….Wait, what? … Continue reading Preparation: How it Looks to Me
Wait on the Lord!
Here is a weekend blessing! “But they that wait for Jehovah shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31(American Standard Version) _____________________ What is your relationship to the all-knowing God of the universe? Do you know Jesus? … Continue reading Wait on the Lord!
Viewing the Well of Eternal Refreshment
I was really thirsty. I wanted an icy, refreshing fountain drink. Yet I poured another one down the drain and finally said, “No more.” A Major fast food restaurant — famous for its fountain drinks — has disappointed me for months. I kept hoping it was just a mix issue or faulty equipment that would … Continue reading Viewing the Well of Eternal Refreshment
Seeking the Visible Benefits of Sacrifice
Today is the first day of Lent. I will be focusing the next forty days on my journey toward Easter. I don’t celebrate Lent as part of any organized religious group as many do. I like the idea of taking the forty days preceding Easter to focus on the sacrifice that Christ gave for me. … Continue reading Seeking the Visible Benefits of Sacrifice
Don’t Let Fear See you Flinch
Seeing a picture of a Rottweiler today made me laugh. It brought back the memory of the time when my car was rocked by a Rottweiler and he bit off my side mirror. “My story” has always been that he bit my side mirror off. But I suppose if we are being truthful here, he did not … Continue reading Don’t Let Fear See you Flinch
How is the Kingdom Visible to You?
I was recently listening to a series of radio pod casts from two prominent pastors. Their messages were not really similar. One pastor was in the Gospels taking us to the cross. The other pastor was in Revelation talking about the seven churches. Somehow these two very different message themes combined to get me thinking about how we … Continue reading How is the Kingdom Visible to You?
Continue to Examine God’s Word
I am looking forward to beginning a new Bible study this week. Meeting together with other believers as we honor God is refreshing. It is a spiritual growth process. We examine, study and learn individually throughout the week. Then we gather together and share what we have gleaned with others. Talking about our Lord with others … Continue reading Continue to Examine God’s Word
