Spiritual Coffee
January 8 The best part of waking up ….. I’ll bet everyone can finish that phrase. I know it by heart; some of us probably get up humming it in the morning as we smell the coffee brewing or take that first sip. Folgers came up with a great jingle, didn’t they? We do love…

Gifts in Disguise
There are so many times that I wonder why God hasn’t answered my prayers the way I would’ve liked Him to or as quickly as I thought He should. Too often I think I know what’s best for my life and what I need, but I’m not the one who can see the whole picture.…

Who’s batting for you?
Why is it that I only show true reliance on Jesus when I’m going through rocky times? I’ve been working on processing an answer to this difficult and disturbing question for the last few days. A few months back, I experienced a personal tragedy in my life that sent me running (really, beelining) to the Lord for…

Peace in the New Year
January 4 We all want peace, don’t we? I mean, really, all the beauty pageant finalists answer their questions with the desire for ‘world peace’. (That always cracks me up – it’s such a safe answer.) But really, our homes, our community, our state, our country, our world would be a much better place to…

Jesus, Faithful Companion
January 3 I have to admit…I kind of entered into this blogging venture a bit unenthusiastically. Basically, I didn’t want to be the daughter to say no.

Today’s Topic: (Gulp)…Relax
January 2 First off, I can’t believe I’m blogging! Last year, the subject of blogging came up at one of my friend’s small dinner gatherings. (Now keep in mind that I didn’t know the other ladies at the gathering.) I thought I’d try and participate in the conversation by putting in my two cents’ worth…

Who, me change my thinking?
January 1, 2013 How eager am I to transform or change? Change is hard, downright difficult for me. And sometimes I can’t even see where I need to change. But I do want to change if I’m not living the way I should or thinking the way I should. Do not conform any longer to…

Real Political Action
Divisiveness, half-truths, and partisanship have been the words of note in our elections this year. I wonder what Jesus thinks of this. He experienced all of those things as he ministered on the earth and felt the stings of the words. I just want to say – Lord, please let this be over, please stop…

Being a Believer
Isaiah 43:10-12 “You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “and my servant who I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me. I, even I, am the Lord and apart from me there is…
