A LIFE THAT SPEAKS GLADNESS OF HEART
I love being around people that are full of joy. Their spirit is such a lift for me. But there is ANOTHER who can lift you as well and it is the LORD your GOD. So doing a little self-examination right now……what does your life say about you? Because what is in your heart says … More A LIFE THAT SPEAKS GLADNESS OF HEART
REMNANTS OF A STORM
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
SHALLOW PLEASURES/ETERNAL COMFORTS
I am slowly coming to believe that if in our lives, we were never shattered – what then? The healing process is painful and deep, continuous and then somehow…….glorious! I don’t know if any of us would invite pain upon ourselves, to be broken and betrayed……but JESUS did! HE broke HIS body for you and … More SHALLOW PLEASURES/ETERNAL COMFORTS
THE AWE CAPACITY OF ONE’S HEART
Everything in our lives is shaped by what our hearts are in thrall about. Did you know?

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
OUR PORCH VS. OUR ESTATE
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
THE LIMIT TO WHAT YOU CAN SEE
There is a limit for us as humans as to what we can see. When driving a car there is a limit as to how far down the road one can see. And depending upon where you are, the road might look endless. I experienced this as we drove through New Mexico and Utah one … More THE LIMIT TO WHAT YOU CAN SEE
IT NEVER REALLY GROWS OLD
Have you ever noticed that some things and circumstances grow old when they are the same over and over and never change? I am one of those people who likes and thrives on each day being different from the next. It’s why I didn’t last long at a desk job from 9 to 5. UGH! … More IT NEVER REALLY GROWS OLD
BROKEN BUT STILL LOOKING FOR PEARLS
Each of us carries a type of broken inside us……we carry it around and sometimes the weight of it is hard. It’s a comfort to me knowing that GOD sees my heart and comes near, knowing what I have endured and yet with HIS help I am still standing and still searching. Some people search … More BROKEN BUT STILL LOOKING FOR PEARLS
