Broken Things

This morning as I was getting ready, I accidentally caught my bracelet on a hook and broke it. It fell to the ground in several pieces. And, amazingly, (as only God can do), right as this had happened, and I was bending down to pick-up the broken pieces, I thought of all of you - [...]

When Darkness Surrounds You

Have you ever been in a place or around a person who always gave off dark-vibes? They were surrounded by darkness. Wherever they went, a dark cloud followed them? Listen to this story I recently read about Corrie ten Boom and a lady in New Zealand: "How can I bring my husband to the Lord?" [...]

Our God Is Able

Tonight I was watching a DVD that featured Priscilla Shirer in an arena full of women (and a few men, might I add) as she was "havin' church" and proclaiming "in a BIG way" that our God is able! She was diving into Paul's words to the believers in Ephesus - "Now to Him who [...]

Numbers

Please crawl into my brain with me. :) You know how certain things will stand out to you for one reason or another? And sometimes particular things will come back to your mind, seemingly out-of-the-blue? Well, that's how these facts about traumatic brain injury have been doing in my mind lately. Let me pass this [...]

Is It Cliff-Time?

Step back in time with me. When was the last time you said, "I can't do that." or "I don't know how to do that." And you wanted so badly to give up and "squirm" away because, in your mind, you weren't "the person cut-out for the job?" Well, rest assured, you are definitely not [...]

Another Turn

'Made any turns lately? In life? In work? In what you believe? 'Just wondering, because that came to mind as I read a newspaper article about Country music legend, Ricky Skaggs. Maybe you read it too...it was entitled, "Skaggs Takes Another Turn On His Musical Journey." Here's part of the write-up: Co-producer Gordon Kennedy remembers [...]

Stand Firm

I know I've mentioned this verse to you before And, I must say, I must pass along this portion once again! It's in the 14th chapter of Exodus.... You know how life is. Things can set us off, "rattle our chains," stress us out, make us nervous and unsure. The list goes on and on! [...]

His Wings

Since today is August 16th as I'm writing this week's blog, I opened my Bible to Psalm 16 and began reading: Keep me safe, O God, for in You I take refuge. And that's as far as I got. My heart stopped there. My insides were overwhelemed at the safety and care the Lord Jesus [...]

No Fishing Allowed!

Last night as I was reading Corrie ten Boom's book, Plenty for Everyone, this stood out to me: "...for God Himself has cast all my sins in the very deeps of the sea, forgiven and forgotten (see Micah 7:19)." Satan plays with our minds and brings up memories or reminders from the past to pull [...]

It’s Time to Bike…with God

So how many of you out there are serious cyclists? Been on some pretty long rides, have you? Yeah...I guess, in a way, life can be like some of those bike rides. Some are long, others are short; some require commitment and courage, while others simply involve pleasure and sight-seeing. Every ride is different; yet [...]
