We have been having some damaging storms here in AZ, the most recent one to remember is the one that ravaged the Grand Canyon. Storms leave some incredible destruction don’t they? And when storms come into our lives there are remnants left upon us too. We tend to not be the same people we were … More REMNANTS OF A STORM
There are one life-giving words chosen for you each day…..did you know? GOD has a word or words just waiting for us to see and embrace for the day to come. GOD highlights the word for you, you need only to be still and listen. Because I read and write so often, I am always … More ONE LIFE-GIVING WORD
Recently I read in Max Lucado’s devotional: “Grace for the Moment” that we can be safe in believing that Heaven is our estate and the earth is it’s porch. I love that analogy and never thought of the big picture that way. Heaven is our final destination and in the meantime, we are gathered together … More OUR PORCH VS. OUR ESTATE

I would say right now we are in the dog days of summer. It’s our very hot season here in Arizona with temps reaching between 115 and 120 degrees. So we spend a lot of time inside in the air conditioning. The sun and heat has a way of zapping every ounce of energy out … More LOOK…..STOP…….LISTEN

Who was your first thought this morning? Did you wake up with JESUS on your mind? Did you think: cannot wait to get my coffee and Bible? Could it be that HE gave you and I one more day of 24hours to live just for HIM? Could it be that HE has given you one … More OUR REFUGE EACH MORNING
Living this life is not for the faint of heart! Every morning I reach for my coffee cup that says: “faith as strong as my coffee.” Sometimes I wonder…….is it? Sometimes I feel as if I am standing upon the rock of faith and nothing can come against me. And then, there are those days … More THE FAINT HEARTBEAT OF FAITH
I think we all at one time or another, feel very alone. We are alone in our problems, alone in our grief or just physically alone. When we feel as if no one is there for us, GOD is right there in those hidden places and often that is how HE does HIS best work … More HIDDEN PLACES
In all of our lives a little rain must fall…….we sin, we sin against others and the very people we love the most often sin against us. You may feel that what happened to you was out of your control and it probably was because GOD being the Sovereign LORD that HE is, will and … More MY HOPE FOR YOU TODAY……..
