God Speaks

There are times when he does, you know. If we allow ourselves to be open to listening, truly listening to Him, we will hear His message to us. This morning, I’ve been asking Father with more earnestness than usual to guide my steps and give me strength to accomplish a task today that won’t be…

Morning Words

I’ve shared before that I have a wonderful little book that my husband bought for me a few years ago. He has his own copy; it was his mother’s. The book, “The Practice of Religion,” is filled with prayers, hymns, daily readings, etc. My edition was published in 1950; I do believe the first printing…

Palms and Perfection

We’re headed out this morning to ready our church for Palm Sunday services tomorrow. I have to admit, I love the way our church looks on this day. Don’t get me wrong, there is no denying the stunning beauty of Easter, all the lilies and spring flowers are amazing. However, the simplicity and meaningfulness of…

Operations of Easter

So, this week I’ve been talking with Father as I do my morning walk or bike ride. It’s been a nice change, as I’m spending more time in conversation and prayer. As I was riding along this morning, listening to the consistent hum of the tires, I began thinking about next week, Holy Week. To…

Serenity and Forgiveness

This morning I was riding my bike and talking with Father. It’s a routine I started this week, walking or riding and spending a little more time with Him each morning. As I frequently do, I asked what message I could share today in this little blog. This morning, the message didn’t come quickly; it…

More is Better

Hmm…the title of today’s little blog could be a good thing or not so much. I’m sure you’ve heard the saying, “The more the better”. Again, that can be a good thing, and then not so much. Take, for instance, our weather here in Florida this past eight months or so. We are called the…

R and R

It’s an abbreviation for “rest and recuperation”. I’m not sure if the military first coined the abbreviation or not, that I guess, is for another blog 🙂 . I know that we civilians have used it for as long as I can remember. I think back in the day, and probably still today, the military…

Thanking Jesus is Enough

Over the past few days, you all have been answering the call to help with lifting prayers for a friend of mine and his sister. Rick’s sister was dealing with some major health issues this past week. I won’t share all of the details out of respect for Rick, just know that it was a…

Helpless…No

We’ve all had those moments when we’ve felt helpless. Things happen that are out of our control, and we simply don’t know what to do. I think, for instance, about natural disasters. They happen, they do damage, and there is not much we can do to stop them; we can only prepare as best we…

It Is Well

My husband and I went to see the movie I Can Only Imagine 2 a few weekends ago. The movie is the sequel to one of my favorites, I Can Only Imagine. Both are based on the Christian music group, Mercy Me. The second movie picks up after the group made it big with the…
