Through the Rubble
Last week, I mentioned in this little blog that I wouldn’t spend too much time giving you all the play-by-play on reconstructing our little church. However, I’m sure I’ll find a message at times for this little blog during the process. I also know that when I need support and/or prayer, this is the best…

Making It Harder
Have you noticed how we humans sometimes make too much of things? We overthink; we make things harder than they need to be; we take on too much, or we just, in general, overreact to situations. You see, I can say these things because I’m exhibit A in all of those situations 🙂 . I…

Rememberance
Today is an anniversary. It was one year ago that my brother-in-law Mac walked into the arms of Jesus. It doesn’t seem like it should be a year already. It feels like just yesterday. We’re going to do a few special things today as we remember him. My husband wants to drive his Mustang, which…

Seek Him in Chaos
I’m sure most of us have been through those times when the world around us just felt like… well, chaos. If you have children, just think back to those days when they were toddlers. Your house was a mess, schedules all out of whack and the only time you had five minutes to yourself was…

The Cornerstone
There are many verses in Scripture that refer to Jesus as the cornerstone. I was reading several this morning. They all, of course, emphasize how Jesus is the sure, firm and everlasting foundation. If we build our lives on and around Him, nothing will be stronger. OK, that’s all nice, but where am I going…

Restoring Faith
One of my least favorite weekend errands is the grocery store. I think I’ve shared that here before. It’s not the physical act of having to go there; that’s not a problem. I’m just never sure what type of environment I’m going to enter. Will the store clerks be in a good mood? Will the…

Give Yourself Grace
This morning, as I thought about this week coming to a close, ya, I can’t believe it’s Friday already, I thought about conversations I’ve had with friends. I’ve had some text and verbal conversations with friends over the past few days, and we’re all feeling a need for rest, both physically and mentally. This weekend…

Taking Care
Yesterday, they removed the bells from the church bell tower. It was a fascinating process to watch. The heaviest bell weighs 900 pounds and took quite some time to maneuver out. I promise, I’m not going to give a daily account of the demo and reconstruction of our little church. I wanted to share some…

Hand Up, Not Out
I think it’s probably safe to say that we’ve all had times in our lives when we’ve needed a hand. We’ve gone through or are going through a difficult situation. Maybe facing the loss of a loved one, an illness, perhaps the loss of a job, or having lived through a natural disaster. Whatever the…

What Is It To You
What is prayer to you? This morning, as I prayed my usual petitions, I thought about what the Lord wants from me when I pray. Yes, I ask for forgiveness; I ask for healing and protection of family and friends. I ask for the return of sweet Emily Rea. Is that enough? I wondered this…
