You’re an Awesome Giver!

  Today, I’d like to just stand up and give a shout out to the givers, the people who continually look for ways to put others ahead of themselves. Sometimes they do it with fanfare, but usually they simply do it with heart, never thinking twice about the act itself. When God said He loved […]

Where Is God?

Some years ago, my husband worked with a cartoonist named Al Hartley. You may remember him from the Archie Comics series, or the days when he worked with Stan Lee developing Marvel characters that are still around today. At some point, Hartley tuned into God’s frequency and developed the Archie Christian comics series. He created […]

Where Can I Hide?

It appears that humans have been trying to avoid getting too close to God from the very beginning. Sometimes they knew they had done something incredibly wrong. Sometimes, they didn’t like the assignment God gave them. In the case of Adam and Eve, hiding from God was a new experience. After all, they had the […]

What Do You Know?

A scripture in Matthew 9 talks about two blind men who followed Jesus for some distance. Apparently, they knew He was in the area and so when they heard he was passing by, they began to call out to Him. “Have mercy on us, Son of David!” they called. They pursued Him until they finally […]

When It’s Not Possible

I’m pretty much an It’s Still Possible kind of believer. After all, I know that God can do anything and if He chooses to help, there’s no fix I can get into that He can’t fix. Though I believe it serves most of us well to focus on those things that are possible, or at […]

Lord, I Have Nothing Left to Say!

It’s unlikely that you get to the place very often where you simply don’t want to talk to God. You’ve said everything you can think of, waited patiently, tried to do all the right things, and still your life feels out of control and out of your hands. You question whether God can actually give […]

The Perfect Age

  So, another birthday candle is soon to glow! Yipes! There’s a lot more of them than I ever imagine there should be. After all, I must be younger than that! I guess age has always been a very conscious timeline in our lives. We imagine we’re too young, till we’re somewhat over 21, for […]

Just a Jesus Girl!

I’ve been a Jesus girl for some time. I prefer to define my faith this way because the word Christian suggests a wide range of definitions, some that resonate with me, and some that clearly don’t. Jesus gave us great examples of how to walk with God and with our neighbors, too. His perspective was […]

Speak Tenderly in Prayer

Saint Augustine wrote: “To fall in love with God is the greatest romance. To seek God is the greatest adventure, and to find God is the greatest human achievement.” I suspect most of us don’t think of God in tender terms, seeing Him as the ultimate version of romance, the greatest opportunity for adventure, and […]

The Bible: It’s Greek to Me!

Actually, the Bible is composed of primarily Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic, but let’s go on. Translations of the original texts have put the Bible into terms that are more understandable for today’s readers, but that doesn’t mean they actually understand it. In fact, many still find it confusing, difficult, and simply hard to get through. […]
