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 →
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. Then as I looked at it again, I got it. They said, "I have … Continue reading What Does Your Fruit Look Like? →
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 →
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 →
Oh Let Me See You Breathe Strongly On Me
This post’s passage reference: Psalm 119:75-80 My electronic device (aka my phone) drives me nuts some times, well lots of times. I think they are made to deliberately see how many times they can get you to yell at them. The auto-correct is my nemesis as of late. I like to talk my texts in. … Continue reading Oh Let Me See You Breathe Strongly On Me →
Joy to Brighten the Day
This post’s passage reference: Psalm 119:64-68 In Bible study the other night we were talking about wanting our homes to be peaceful places. (If you have heard me tell this story a hundred times….sorry!) I feel like encouraging, uplifting music plays a big part in creating that soothing atmosphere. I generally keep a Christian music station … Continue reading Joy to Brighten the Day →
Walk the Path That is Lit By The Light of The World
This post’s passage reference: Psalm 119:59-63 I went to the movies with friends and saw a sweet, faith based movie tonight. We got into the theatre after the lights had gone down. That makes it a little more challenging, but the strips of light along the side of the steps helped lead the way. It … Continue reading Walk the Path That is Lit By The Light of The World →
Don’t Be Afraid to Be the Light that Filters Through the Dark
This post’s passage reference: Psalm 119:48-53 Have you ever been challenged, out of the blue, by a stranger in a situation where you may not have been comfortable sharing your Christian witness? I guess since I have already hinted at my age once this week I might as well do it again. I had a … Continue reading Don’t Be Afraid to Be the Light that Filters Through the Dark →
