This week has caught me with excuses. I am living my life in the midst of blaspheming individuals and/or congregations on a daily-weekly-monthly-yearly basis–and this week, I threw up my hands in utter disgust and desperation. I am failing to see what my teenytiny influence is having on anyone coming nearer to the cross of [...]

I’m not talkin’ about “centering prayer”, or yoga, or eastern meditation here.

This past weekend, I was fed.
God is so gracious and good and wonderful.
(I could end the post right here. And it would be True and complete. But I’ve gotta tell ya’ll something….)
And just when I think I might starve to death (ha!) because of lack of fellowship or community with other believers, He sends me [...]
The Before and After

Before I knew Jesus, I didn’t have before and afters. I just lived.
Now, I do.
And lately, my before and afters have taken on a whole new meaning.
God has given me some very amazing friends, women who LOVE Jesus, and I can’t remember my life before them. It’s all after now.
So, girls. You know who you [...]

Anyhow, when I clicked over there, THIS post was up. (That was just in case I don’t finish this post [...]

I just couldn’t stay away.
(((Actually, ever since I said I was leaving for a bit, my mind has been BURSTING with ideas. Of course it has….isn’t that how it works???!?)))
I just had to come back and tell you something…..
I love music. I don’t know if you knew that about me. I love music that draws [...]

but you can’t make him drink.
And you can lead a person to the Living Water, but if they don’t want to drink, it’s not up to you. It’s the Holy Spirit’s job to convict the world of sin, righteousness, and judgement. (I”m lecturing myself here….This is a lesson I learn over and over and over [...]

A while ago, I wrote about liberty.
It was so exciting to me to discover the “true” meaning of the word. So very exciting, because growing up and being an adult for years before knowing Jesus was a life that was a true opposite of LIBERTY. It was definitely captivity. I was so excited. So LIBERATED [...]

I’m heading out of town for a family reunion.
Should be nothing less than interesting. What with my whole family being unbelievers and all…..
And the fact that there are 21 people, 2 dogs and 3 bathrooms.
Please pray for me– for God’s wisdom in what I say and do, that He will be glorified and praised.
(As I was [...]

so very little time.
With Summer swim team in full swing, kids going here there and everywhere, and a husband who likes my attention when he gets home from work, I’ve had no time to write! But I have lots of thoughts.
Including the following topics,which will be addressed by me in the coming weeks. Even if [...]
