Picayune

As I was driving home last night, I noticed what I thought were weird clouds in the distance. The closer I got to home, the more I realized these weren’t clouds; this was smoke, and like a lot of it. By the time I got home, the smoke had made its way from the southeast…

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…

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…

Out of Sorts…Prayer

I’m not focused today. There, I said it 🙂 . My mind is wandering all over the place today. I had my morning prayer time with Father, sat down right after, and read from His word, and then felt this overwhelming “take a break” moment. I actually lay back down for a few moments, dozed…

A Little Goes A Long Way

I’ve said it so many times before, but I am so humbled by the community that has formed around this little blog. It’s God’s little blog, not mine. I do my very best to let Him guide the messages that I write here, and goodness knows that He certainly guides the beautiful sunrise and sunset…

Tuesday Pick Me Up

I don’t know about you, but sometimes for me Tuesday is a more difficult day of the week to get going than Monday. Maybe it’s because over the years of working, we expect Mondays to be a challenge. I mean, we’re coming off a weekend and all. Tuesday, on the other hand, well, it’s that…

Orderly

There is something to be said for having things neat and orderly in our lives. I guess the new year brings the opportunity to do things a little differently. This morning, as I’m getting ready to head out for some errands, I took a moment to tidy up my desk. I put away things that…

A Year Stronger

We find ourselves again on the last day of the year. If you’re like me, you are wondering where the year went. Yes, it’s true, the older we get, the faster time goes. This morning, I looked back at my little blog post from one year ago today. As I read it, I realized one…

Concentration

Saturday, yep, you all know it, my favorite day, and during the holiday season, I love having the special traditions to focus on. This weekend is traditionally when our family gets the tree and decorates our home. We’ll be tackling that task for certain 🙂 . It’s also Cookie Sunday at church, where the kids,…

Celebrate Prayer

Yes, I think we should…celebrate prayer that is. I guess that seems kind of odd to say, let’s celebrate prayer. Well, I don’t know why we wouldn’t, because you know, it’s a pretty amazing thing. The power of prayer is real, and it’s a force to be reckoned with. Over the past few weeks, I’ve…
