How Does It Look to Be a Heavenly Citizen in an Earthly Body?

I am blessed and proud to be a citizen of the United States of America. I still get chills when I hear our national anthem. I was raised in a day when we began our school days with a prayer—to God—and the Pledge of Allegiance. We would sing, “This Land Is Your Land,” and, “America … Continue reading How Does It Look to Be a Heavenly Citizen in an Earthly Body? →

Can We Get a Look at Perfection

I don’t think that I would consider myself a perfectionist. There are too many things that get left undone sometimes for me to consider myself a perfectionist. My brothers, on the other hand, may consider me a perfectionist. There have been numerous times, back in the day, when each of them, at one time or … Continue reading Can We Get a Look at Perfection →

Help Others See Through the Tradition

I have been blessed enough to be able to travel quite a bit throughout my lifetime. I have experienced different countries, different cultures and different customs.

What Does Your Fruit Look Like?

I was checking in with a friend today about how I could pray for them in the coming year. They said something that I didn’t get all the way the first time. It was the key to their message for me.

Looking at Prayer a Little Differently

This post’s Scripture passage reference: Psalm 119:145-152. I gave a friend a journal quite a while back. She was not really into journaling. I told her she could write prayer requests in it.

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.
