Hearing or Listening

Lately, I’ve been praying about some things that I truly have no control over. Isn’t that when challenges seem the greatest when we have no control over them? We want to just fix things, we want to just make things better, but at the end of the day, we really do have to just give…

Eclipse

Well, in case you weren’t aware, today we’ll experience a rare full solar eclipse. Depending on where you are there could be over four minutes, (weather.com says it could be as long as 7.5 minutes), of darkness during the daytime. Unfortunately like so many things in this world, even the solar eclipse has created ugliness…

Numbers

Each morning when I come to this little blog, the page that I land on shows me the activity of these little posts. If you know anything about websites, social media, the techy stuff, you know that “likes”, “clicks” or “views” are where it’s at. Well, that is if you find that stuff important. The…

Love and Acceptance

Why is it that we as humans always think we know best? Well, that’s a pretty open-ended question, isn’t it? Yesterday I mentioned here in this little blog that I had a few situations that I’m trying to resolve. These situations are really more just misunderstandings and the best way to handle those is to…

In the Open

My husband and I have a practice of saying grace before we eat. It doesn’t matter if we’re grabbing something quick while driving, having holiday dinner, breakfast with friends, or just eating at the kitchen table at home, we say a little prayer. It’s just ingrained in us, it’s second nature and we just give…

Recentered…Again

Have I mentioned lately that it’s pretty interesting how Father just seems to drop into places when you really aren’t expecting it? He seems to have some pretty impeccable timing. We’re all busy these days. I frequently comment that I’m not sure where the days are going. In the midst of that busyness, it’s easy…

Touching the Fringe

A friend of mine oversees a website for his church that shares wonderful daily scripture in small snippets. The Bible can be overwhelming to read at times, it gets easier over time and the more you read it, the more it reads you. So, though I’m trying to read the Bible cover to cover, I…

Santa Needs Prayers

Friends, this morning I’m coming to you to ask for prayers. You see one of the nicest men I’ve had the pleasure of knowing is having heart surgery today. Yes, as the title of this little blog implies, he’s Santa. Well, his name is Paul, but he’s Santa to those of us who know him.…

Satan Despises Prayer

I couldn’t help but start this little blog this morning with major thank yous. Yesterday I asked for some simple prayers and my goodness the text messages, social media messages and phone calls from people, well, let’s just say I felt the prayers and the love! Thank you so much for reaching out and for…

You’re Not Weak

It’s a busy week ahead. We have a very large event on Thursday that I’m overseeing. Each year our church gives grants to local charities in our county. This year we’ve approved grants to 16 charities, and the event Thursday wraps up the grant process and secures the final funds needed for these organizations. It’s…
