I was talking to my cousin today about some disturbing situations going on around the world. I told her that I have turned the news off. I miss the days when Walter Cronkite reported the news. He did it without a bigoted agenda twinkling in his eye. He simply read the news. You have to … Continue reading God’s Peace Looks Like Comfort

Someone Is Always Watching
I pulled the milk out of the refrigerator today. I gave it a hard shake. Every single time that I do this—and I do this most every time I get the milk out of the refrigerator—a moment in time floods my memory bank that brings a smile. It is interesting how an essentially unremarkable incident … Continue reading Someone Is Always Watching →
Looks Like We Are Back to Fruit Again
I am kind of diving right into this blog head long. It is a topic that has been on my heart for a long time, and one of the reasons I began this blog. It is aimed straight at myself. I may lose a few followers because of this one. That is OK. The Most … Continue reading Looks Like We Are Back to Fruit Again →
Looking to Tame the Tongue
I have generally been accused of being a Pollyanna. I try to look at most things in a positive light. I am not a big talker, especially if I am around people that I do not know. In that instance, I tend to measure my words a little more closely. I find that when I … Continue reading Looking to Tame the Tongue →
Living in the Light of Christ
This post’s Scripture passage reference: Psalm 119:172-176 When we first moved to Tennessee as a family of six, it was a whole new world.

We felt like we were coming to … Continue reading Living in the Light of Christ →
Identify the Need to Be Revived
This post’s Scripture passage reference: Psalm 119:153-159. Do you go through times that, although everything seems to be going good and you can’t pinpoint any specific issues in your life, you just feel “off?” You are a bit anxious or on edge and you don’t know why. I think I have pinpointed in my life … Continue reading Identify the Need to Be Revived →
Seeing with Clarity the Testimonies of God
This blog’s Scripture passage reference: Psalm 119:121-125 There has been a song playing recently on my favorite Christian radio station. It is very lyrical and easy to listen to, a beautiful song. But I have to admit that I did not really understand what the singer was saying in the chorus for a long time. … Continue reading Seeing with Clarity the Testimonies of God →
Let God See Your Heart
This blog’s Scripture passage reference: Psalm 119:107-112 Yes, it is football playoff time for a lot of high schools around the country. I was talking to a friend on the phone yesterday. She was telling me about a group of young men that have a really big challenge coming up for them this weekend. They … Continue reading Let God See Your Heart →
When Others Look at Me, Will They See That I Have Served Faithfully?
This post’s passage reference: Psalm 119:94-97 Thursday morning I had some letters ready to put in the mailbox. I put my little jacket on over top of my pajamas and headed down the hill toward the mailbox. Right before I got to the bottom of the hill, a little blue car turned into my driveway. … Continue reading When Others Look at Me, Will They See That I Have Served Faithfully? →
Light Up the Dark
This post’s passage reference: Psalm 119:90-93 I saw a post a few years ago that talked about how we should be praying scripture over our family every day. For many years I had already been sending my family members a good morning text with a Bible verse included. It started out, on my ancient flip … Continue reading Light Up the Dark →
