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…

Heavy Lifting

I’m pretty routine about going to my little gym. I’ve been a member there since not long after we moved here. Though it’s changed ownership, much of the clientele remained and our 6:00 a.m. group is pretty consistent. The type of workouts changed with the new ownership over a year ago, they really focus more…

Snapdragons

Yesterday I went to one of our local farmer’s markets. There is a particular booth there, a small farm, that is my favorite. The woman who owns it is so sweet, she just likes to “grow things”. Her veggies and herbs are always the best. I mean like you are washing the dirt and sand…

The Do Tank

I was listening to a podcast the other day and the guest used a term that caught my attention, the “do tank”. I wasn’t sure I heard him correctly, but then he shared with the host what he meant. He said that his team is doing the work, they are not just sitting around thinking…

God’s Test?

I’ve been thinking lately about the situations that occur in this life, the places that we find ourselves in. Those situations can find us asking questions, wondering why Father is testing us.

Ya, We Are Accountable

My husband and I were having a conversation last night while dinner was in the oven. We’ve been so busy these days that it seems like this is the best time for us to chat. We got onto the subject of making mistakes in our lives which grew into a bigger discussion that is too…

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…

Walking in the Wilderness

Today is Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. During this time of Lent, we observe the 40 days that Jesus spent in the wilderness fasting and being tested by satan. It’s hard to imagine all the ways that He was tempted and tested, yet Jesus denied satan at every step, He did not sin. We can…
