One More Time Around
Hey God. It’s me again. I am whining. I had always hoped that I would be that one who, in the midst of suffering, would suffer well. But…sadly, I am not as I thought; and now I am looking at my face in the mirror and realizing that I must learn this lesson once again…Perhaps …
Looking Backward
“Brothers, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God, in Christ Jesus.” -Phil 3:13,14 The last day of 2024. A new …
Wilderness Worship
Let it be said that I knew how to worship You in a land of desolation and darkness; of thick trees and tangled vines. Purify me O God, that I would turn my eyes to You and fall on my face in awe of WHO You are! That I would cry GLORY! at Your Feet. …
Swept up

“..having done all, stand firm…” Ephesians 6:13 Faced with difficult circumstances, provoked by fear, up against a wall, desperately looking to get out of the line of fire…you make a choice. Put up your fists and fight like the devil? High tail it out of their heading for greener pastures? Or…dig in your heels, set …
Old Things
“Thus says the Lord, “Stand by the ways and see and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is, walk in it…” -Jeremiah 6:16 I could probably count on one hand the number of dolls I had as a little girl. The above was my first. Her name was Ruthie and she lived …
You Live in the Wild
“Out of the mouths of children and infants You have ordained praise…” Psalm 8:2 This, the twenty-first day of a writing challenge to write every day for thirty days, draws me from my usual path to a ‘smile on my face’ path. Recently, in the missing of grand babies and grown children, I have had …
