I am drawn to the story of the woman at the well told of in the Bible (John 4:1-42). The girl was married five times and was involved with a man who was not her husband when Jesus made a detour through Samaria to offer her a better way to live. The woman at the … Continue reading What are You Drinking?
So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls. – James 1:21 (NLT) One thing I took away from last month’s fast was a deeper conviction that knowing and believing the promises … Continue reading Time to Scrub Up!
There are lots of reasons to seek change. Zig Ziglar asked the question, “Is there something you could do in the next 24 hours to make your life worse?” It was a back-handed way of making the point that our actions affect the outcome of our lives. We know we can screw it up even … Continue reading You Will Be Perfect!

Good morning, my sweet Jesus! Yours is the voice I need to hear this morning. Your voice is the whisper in the chaos. You will not shout to be heard above the TV, the internet, the voices that demand my attention and keep my head continually spinning and confused. Your voice is calm, steady, and … Continue reading The Lord is My Shepherd

In those posts, I expounded on author Tommy Newberry's book which proported practicing Philippians … Continue reading Talk Back to Self-Defeat!
I haven’t been writing much lately. My mother always said, if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all. With the world circumstances swirling in my head, the best I could do was hold on tight and try to deny the pain in my gut. Who wants to hear anything more about that? … Continue reading And Now, the Good News!
Raise your hand if, like me, you’ve had two or three—or more—people send you YouTube links to Christian prophecies that reveal something awful is about to happen. Money evaporating. Cities burning.
