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 →
The Treasure We Have Our Eyes On
I was reading through a writer’s book today. One of the sections of the book had different writing prompts. One of the writing prompts was, “What was the first thing you saved up your own money to buy?” I don’t think it would have been when I was a child, because there was probably only … Continue reading The Treasure We Have Our Eyes On →
You are Seen, You are Worthy
Back in the early to mid 1960s, my next-door neighbor and I were pushing the envelope for girls. Well, technically we didn’t realize that we were doing anything to any envelope, but it kinda looks like we were. She and I were the same age. I was born in March and she was born in … Continue reading You are Seen, You are Worthy →
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 →
Seeing Down the Path of a Faithful Life
This post’s Scripture passage reference: Psalm 119:166-170 I have heard numerous people, when they are attempting to encourage someone, say, “Just do the next thing, and then the next thing, and the next thing after that…” When we are going through difficult times, we sometimes need to hear this to help us keep moving forward. … Continue reading Seeing Down the Path of a Faithful Life →
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 →
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. Some time later she mentioned that when she first started writing in the journal she was mostly writing prayer requests and requesting … Continue reading Looking at Prayer a Little Differently →
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 →
Do You Want to Watch Revival Spread
Where does revival come from and where is it born? Does it come from churches big and small? Does it come from small group Bible studies? Does it come from hanging out with your friends at the bowling alley? Does it start on a high school or college campus? Or can it start from somewhere, … Continue reading Do You Want to Watch Revival Spread →
