Sometimes the things you can't see help you see more clearly!
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
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?
I mentioned going to lunch with my “very old friend“ yesterday. As we sat there, a number of people came in and out of the restaurant that I knew. But for the most part, we were surrounded by strangers that were unknown. We sat there catching up for probably two and a half hours. We … Continue reading Seeing God’s Table in a Different Light
I had a lunch date today with a very old friend. Well, I probably should not call her very old. Let’s just say that our friendship certainly has some age on it. Today’s spring like weather made it easy to get dressed for the day. I pulled a light sweater on over a tank top. … Continue reading Put on Love and Walk Out Into the Light
The sixty-five-year-old oak table was distressed in a way that depicted use—depicted life. One leg lurched from a long-ago break, steadied now by a flat stone tucked beneath it. Burn marks, water rings, scratches, scars, and discoloration covered its surface. And yet, beneath the browns, grays, and charcoal shadows of use and misuse, a hint … Continue reading No Need to Look Underneath
What does home look like to you? Are you from a large family or small family? Do you have tons of aunts and uncles and cousins, or just a few family members scattered here and there? Is your family close emotionally, in proximity? Do you spend time together? Do you stay in touch? What is … Continue reading The View of Our Heavenly Home
What does your day and night look like? Can you tell them apart? Since I’ve been trying to get my schedule realigned from the past couple of years of just winging it, sometimes it is hard for me to see where the day ends and the night begins. To say my sleep schedule is out … Continue reading From the Light of Day to the Dark of Night
Saturday Blessings! I wanted to share one of my favorite passages. It means so much and it has helped me through some rough days. I hope it blesses you too. “1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. 2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made … Continue reading I Will Lift My Eyes to the Hills
You may or may not have noticed, but in the past few days we have been walking down the Romans Road through the scripture passages I have been sharing. This is a group of verses that can help you give an overview of God's grace and the salvation that He offers all humans. These are … Continue reading Taking a Look Down the Romans Road
Where is your place of peace? Where do you go to wind down and shed all of the stresses of the world? For most people, it is definitely not out in the world. Every day that we are out there, whether we are experiencing them or not, we are surrounded by challenges, setbacks, and worries. … Continue reading Look for the Peace That God Gives
