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.…

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.)

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.

One awesome thing that will be happening this coming year is that my daughters, Janine and Holly, will be joining me in this blog. We plan to take turns posting from our daily times with God. We are each reading Jesus Calling…

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…

The Dichotomy
We’re so stuck on our outward appearance. Watching TV and movies, you’d think that’s all there is to life. But there is this great dichotomy happening within and without each of us. Do you feel it? Paul, the writer of the 2nd letter to the Corinthian church years ago, understood it. Listen to this from…
