JUST A MINUTE

Have you ever heard the Spirit’s voice speaking to you and thought: OK LORD, I will get to that in a minute?  How often do we hear and know the Spirit’s prompting to us, and we put it off? EVERYONE IS GUILTY OF PUTTING OFF TOMORROW WHAT SHOULD BE DONE TODAY! We all have done … More JUST A MINUTE

YEARNING AND PAUSING

Is there something that your soul yearns for?  Yearning is an intense feeling for something and a feeling of being separated from someone or something.  In the midst of this covid crisis we have had much of our busyness stripped away and we have been on a long pause. But pausing in the midst of … More YEARNING AND PAUSING

THE GIFT OF LOSS

Someone once said that the greatest gift we could receive is our loss of comfort and security.  Really?  Don’t we all want those things more than anything?  Don’t we seek comfort and security every day? Many have suffered loss during this pandemic season of 2020.   Loss of any kind makes us turn inward to examine … More THE GIFT OF LOSS

I think there has not been a one of us who hasn’t watched the violence in our nation and been pulled to our knees to pray for peace!

REFLECTIONS

Do you ever notice reflections of nature in water or in ponds or even your own reflection in a mirror?  In the dictionary, the word reflection has a few meanings, but the one I am after is this one: an image given back by a reflecting surface. A few years ago when we moved, I … More REFLECTIONS

THE ENEMY WANTS THIS

It is interesting to me how the enemy works……he is crafty and resourceful.  Be careful when you are writing about him…..I almost completed this post today and just like that with hitting a button, boom, the whole post was erased in front of my eyes!  I know I didn’t hit the wrong button because I … More THE ENEMY WANTS THIS
