I can hardly believe we are in November – almost December. What a year. The Bible says the thief comes to steal, kill and destroy and he certainly attempted that in 2020. Throughout this year he has attempted to steal peace, joy, love and even gathering together. He went on...
I woke up today with a thought, several actually. First, I was thinking about Thanksgiving coming up next week, making plans in my mind. And I was thinking about how many news outlets are telling people not to gather for Thanksgiving. It seems quite odd to me when I see...
It was early in the morning. I was my quiet time with the Lord. Suddenly, He was speaking to my heart. Almost a whisper. But, more than a whisper. It sounded more like a yearning. A yearning I could hear. He whispered, “The abiding presence of God.” Humbled, I began...
Recently, I read an article from Judy Jacobs Ministry about what NOT to do when we find ourselves in challenging situations – I want to share those points, along with my insight of them, with you today and hopefully, encourage you in the Lord. The first point is: Do not...
And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. 1 Cor. 13:13 When I thought I couldn’t see any more division in the church – last week hit. Unfortunately, it has once again, set many against each another. 1 Corinthians 13:13 teaches us no...
It’s election day and emotions are high. On every side. With everything that has happened in our country this year, fear is rampant. No one knows what tomorrow will bring. None of us could have imagined all that has taken place in just a few shorts months. Yet, here we...
God interrupted my sleep as He spoke four words to my heart, “My people are weary.” A couple hours later I received a confirmation of that word in an email from a friend. It said, “People are weary, we have to help them.” It’s true. You can almost feel the...
I have an uncle who is a farmer, his name is Bobby. Most people would look at him in his overalls or jeans and button up and think he was not wealthy. But he is not poor. Far from it. He looks a great deal like Santa Claus, except he...
The sound of rain forcefully hitting my window woke me up from a sound sleep. “Oh no!” Was my first thought. My plan had been to go to work early and catch up some things that had fallen behind. However, I couldn’t shake a conversation I had with my Mom...
A few nights ago, God reminded me of a prophetic word I received over 25 years ago. When I first heard the word, it made no sense to me. Yet, that one word has become a principle God uses in my life over and again. I believe He is reminding...
Every person carries an atmosphere with them. Some call it an attitude. I call it an atmosphere because it invades the room when they arrive and departs when they leave. You may have noticed this. Someone will come into the room who is agitated or angry and the entire rooms...
As I said in an earlier writing, we are all learning. Daily we have the opportunity to learn in each circumstance that comes our way. I had one of these learning experiences just a few days ago. You see, a couple weeks ago, I put a load of laundry in...
It was the wee hours of the morning as I rolled out of bed to begin my day. Jumping in the shower, my mind went back to the evening before. Through some scheduling conflicts, my grandkids had missed one day of online school and were working on catching up before...
I was recently reminded of an incident that took place several years ago, involving our office at the time. We were home on a Sunday when we received a call that someone had driven their car through our building. I was stunned. It was a brick building. One that you...
I get a certain look on my face. Or I grab a notebook and begin to write down notes. Breanne and the kids have come to recognize it. They know exactly what I am thinking. They know whatever just took place, I am going to write a motivation about it....
Yesterday, I shared my thoughts about the footprints we leave behind, especially on social media. In life I have learned, people follow us. Whether we want them to or not, they follow us. Family, children, and friends in the faith. Knowing this, I do believe it is important to make...
