A little over a week ago I woke up… sick. One: I was surprise to wake sick since the Lord ALWAYS keeps me in health and Two: I wasn’t certain what to do since I was being shook with coughing. Even in the best of times I don’t like coughing but this was no fun. […]
Have you ever thought about how many times in scripture we read the words, ‘I will’ from the Lord. Another example, there are 365 verses that say – ‘do not fear’. Incredible – one for each day. If we would only read one verse a day, how would we look on our days and lives?
I’m a firm believer that this is necessary for us to do on a regular basis, not just the New Year’s Resolutions time. Taking stock gives us the advantage of looking back for a reason – to see where we’ve come from, what we’ve accomplished, what we still need to do. It is incredibly important

I’m a phrase and/or line collector – both written and spoken words. They are always ones that capture my thinking and stop me in my tracks. Quite honestly, I do love these occurrences. And yes, there are certain writers that do arrest me more than others. Let me share one that I recently heard. “When our
In my opinion, there are two critical decisions we all have to face at some time and then decide what we are going to do with them. The two issues: First – Listening to your still, small voice (which is listening to the Holy Spirit). Second – You need to believe that God has you right where

Look to your motive! WHY do you do or say what you do? Is there an ulterior reason or a hidden agenda? Realized or not there is always a reason for why we do what we do when we do it… even if we don’t immediately recognize it. That was not a value judgment, nor
