Today I have been thinking about death. Most of us have lost someone dear to us. Someone that we miss. I think that of all the difficulties I have had to face in my life, the death of someone close was the hardest. The darkest. It seems so final. The one you loved and cared…

More than
This morning, I was thinking about the people in the Bible through whom God spoke and worked, people who were really not the greatest people in their own eyes and most likely, not in the eyes of other people either. Jacob was a deceiver. David had a guy killed so that he could marry the…
It’s not up to us (thank God)
I don’t mean for these emails to be Bible lessons. Heck, I seriously just started reading the Bible again, after many years of letting it collect dust. But lately I’ve been seeing it with new eyes. Seeing it more correctly, I think. Not reading it because I should or because that’s what believers do. I’m…
For such a time as this
Lately I have been thinking of two things more than other stuff. Number 1. I need to stop waiting for something. This is the only day I have. These times are exciting in the world. They might seem dark and threatening, but if I see them for what they are, God’s glorious hand at work,…
What if…… (Changes in Attitude)
So, something happened last night that brought on the following thoughts. It was sort of my previous posts being brought into real life. 1. What if instead of saying, “Crap! I have to do _______!” We would say, “Wow! I get to do _______”. Instead of a chore, see it as a privilege. An honor….
How do I love ? (Follow up to “ALL”)

PART 2 of Where I am
If you haven’t read the “Where I am” post, you should read it first, but not required. (smile) I’m in Hebrews this morning and I came across a couple of verses that made me smile and I wanted to share them with you. Jesus has prepared a place for us. Right here. Right now. By…
That Where I am ……….
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. The verse in…
Facing the Enemy….
I have been so pissy this morning. Frustrated. Surly. Snapping at people. Even the dog is running for cover. “Christ in us, the hope of glory.” So, I hope. I hope for my thoughts to become His thoughts. My heart to be replaced with His heart. Dare I say that I am glad to see…
