The Christmas Effect

I’ve never been a fan of seeing Christmas items in the stores starting in August. I’m a believer that Thanksgiving is such an important Holiday and one that deserves respect, and I don’t like that we kind of just skip over it and go right to Christmas. Now, having said that, I do love the…

Don’t Doubt

A few days ago, following the funeral of my brother-in-law, several family members went to spend time at their family’s farmland. My sister-in-law owns a large portion of the wooded area that is simply beautiful. We used to spend many a Thanksgiving weekend celebrating the Rally of the Clan on this land. We’d have a…

Gathering

Why does it take an event for us to gather with family and friends? Over the past weeks, we’ve spent time with family, many of whom we haven’t seen in a very long time. Today, we will spend even more time together as one. While I’m sad about the reason for our coming together, I…

Still Work To Do

My husband and I are headed back to the Midwest today. We’re going to celebrate the life of his brother Mac and say our final goodbyes at his funeral. I’ve been thinking a lot about Mac over the past few days since he passed away. He’s not in this world any longer. He was never…

Over the past few weeks, we’ve spent time together as a family. We’ve said I love you more times than I can count. We’ve played “remember…

Seal the Cracks

Yes, the cracks. The fallen one he is patient. He sits in wait and looks for the little cracks where he can work his way in and do his best to make you feel alone and apart from Father. It’s his mission in his life, you know, to do his best to show the Lord…

Evil Destroys Itself

The night before last, I had a bad dream. I don’t usually have dreams that wake me up in a start, but I sure did that night. I was riding a bike down a street. On each side of the street were homes, almost duplexes, I guess you would call them. Each had a short…

The Our Father

I think we all have Bible verses that bring us comfort. I’m sure just reading this, you are probably thinking of a few that come immediately to mind. We are so fortunate to have God’s word as a resource to get us through challenges that come our way. When you delve into His word, you…

Does God Give Signs

Interesting question, or maybe it isn’t. I guess it is what you choose to believe, like so many things with Father. I believe that Father does give us signs that He is not only here, but that He is actively involved. I have had conversations with people over the years, many of whom don’t feel…

Pick One

Today I have an assignment for you. It’s not difficult, and it won’t take long. When you’re finished, I think you’ll find your day is brighter. Well, now that I have your attention 🙂 . Seriously, though, I was thinking about what to write about in this little blog today, and after spending a little…
