Good Morning saints and singers. I hope you had the chance to fellowship with other believers yesterday. After church, I came home, grabbed a box of tissue and crawled into my recliner in the hope of snatching a few “restorative winks.” Like many, living in the Miami Valley, I been struggling with sinus related illness for months now – Uggghhhhh, as Charlie Brown would say. After … Continue reading
Dobermans, Nancy Honeytree and Undivided Devotion
Happy New Year friends! By God’s great mercy we stand on the threshold of a brand new year. And speaking of that… by now you’ve probably heard that according to several ancient calendars and prognosticators, the year 2012 will be civilization’s last. Now if you’re in love with Jesus, that’s actually a very exhilarating thought. While the Bible teaches “no … Continue reading
Peace on Earth – Superman and Humpty Dumpty
This past September I was shopping at one of my favorite stores (I’m a big fan of the Christian music they play). It still felt like Summer outside so I was shocked – once inside the store - to find they already had Christmas items out for sale. After picking up what I needed for my Sunday School children I began browsing these “Winter Wonderland” aisles; my Mom’s birthday’s … Continue reading
Zoro – Rescue the Perishing
Recently my 2 year old grandson Chase asked me to make him a Zorro mask. Eagerly I obliged and cut a triangle of black cloth with two holes for his eyes (from a pair of sweat pants that belonged to my little boys 25 years ago). As he zipped around the house brandishing his plastic sword, I mused at his inborn … Continue reading
The Perfect Storm
November 12th, 2011 Morning Facebook world:) During my prayer time today God prompted me to share another picture. Today’s picture was a an old weathered ship fighting the gales of a hurricane. To draw on another movie parallel, the hurricane was as violent as the one in “The Perfect Storm.” In the center of the ship was a giant … Continue reading
Living Bread and Mary Poppins
One of my favorite memories, as a little girl, was driving through downtown Dayton, when the Wonder Bread factory, was busy baking. Ummm, how WONDERFUL the air smelled! On my favorite school field trip, a kind lady passed out a miniature loaf, with happy red, yellow and blue dots, to each of us when we left. The smell of fresh … Continue reading
Spinning Tops and Kevin Costner
November 14th, 2011 Prayer Picture for today: Spinning tops and Kevin Costner. Good morning friends and family. If that combination doesn’t arouse some curiosity, nothing will:) As I knelt to pray this morning, God brought this picture to mind: a simple wooden top, with painted stripes – spinning against the backdrop of the universe, filled with sparkling stars. The picture … Continue reading
Corresponding Word of Encouragement for “Twister”
Originally recorded on November 7th, 2004 What shall I say to thee? May I take this time to encourage you – to lift your eyes to Heaven. You have gazed at the sun setting. I call you to look to the Sun’s rising – the rising that comes with the morning. That is “hope” for the depressed and weary. Each day’s … Continue reading
Twister
Today as I knelt in God’s Presence, I saw myself (spinning again) - arms outstretched - against the back drop of the star-lit universe. This time I was not a colorful spinning top but a wind force - a tornado. Instantly my mind went back to a difficult time in my past; the darkest days I’ve ever faced. As I kicked my way through the … Continue reading
