Prayer Matters

D.L. Moody said, “The greatest tragedy of life is not unanswered prayer, but unoffered prayer.”  Those who believe that God still reigns, that He has not walked away from His creation, or given up on us, turn to prayer. Sometimes we imagine that prayer is a nice thing, a good thing, a thing we suggest […]

God Works!

This blog may seem familiar to my readers of What a Great Word. I paired it with the Scripture that says: And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.  Romans 8:28, NIV God works!  Say it out loud! […]

What’s the Big Idea?

Since it’s been so cold and snowy outside, my creative energy is someone sagging. Thought I’d put this piece out there to inspire our spirits.   You’ve probably had someone admire your creativity, and then say to you, “I don’t have a creative bone in my body!” Your friend may genuinely feel that way, but […]

We Gather Together

  Perhaps it’s intentional that we end each year with special celebrations. We get together with family and friends. We plan who will make each pie and casserole. We pour through our favorite recipes enjoying the thought that we might just outdo ourselves this year. We call a truce on family conflicts and do all […]

You Can Reconcile with a Crocodile

  I recently listened to a sermon on reconciliation.  It was a great sermon which included six steps intended to help you get past an offense you are still holding in your mind. It doesn’t seem to matter to your psyche who was at fault, though you’re pretty sure it wasn’t you. It turns out […]

Something Needs to Change

It’s not usually difficult to recognize when something needs to change, but it may be hard to know what that “something’ is. Many of us resist change. We like the way things are, or the way things were and we find ourselves reluctant to consider how change could even be a good thing. If change […]
