What Do You Want ?
This morning, I woke up, and I said, “Lord! I really want to lose weight. I’m overweight and I have such a hard time with my eating habits. Will you please help me?” God: “What do you want?” Me: “You know. I want to be thinner. I want my clothes to look and feel better. …
The Bold and The Beautiful
Hello, beautiful family. One of my favorite musician/singer/songwriters is Rich Mullins. He wrote “Our God is an Awesome God” and so many other great songs about Jesus and our lives in God.

Hurricanes and Tornado warnings
Hello beloved, As I type, the winds of a minor hurricane are whipping around our home, sheets of rain pelting the sides. You get used to these things when you live in Florida. At 6 am I got an automated call from Flagler County Emergency Services telling us that there was a tornado warning…

That Where I am….
Hello glorious family! When I was young, I thought that when I died, I would go to a great mansion in the sky. It would be my very own mansion with lots of rooms, and probably an in-ground pool, and a giant backyard full of trees, and all the other amenities that I could want. …
For the Joy…..
For many years, all my life really, when I’ve heard the term, “the Joy of the Lord”, for example: “The joy of the Lord is my strength.”, I’ve thought of it as the joy the Lord gives me. I experience joy in knowing Him, being loved by Him. The joy of having the Lord in…
