What makes you happy? Do you consider happiness an emotion or state of mind? Do you think happiness is a daily decision? Do you think we need to wake up each day and decide to be happy just for that day? This is easier said than done, but I think if we can do this… Continue reading Happy

Why?
I can’t answer that. Why do we get cancer? Why do babies die? Why do we have to watch loved ones die of dementia? Why is there so much pain in this world? Why God? Some would say this isn’t Heaven yet. Satan tempted. Adam and Eve sinned, and therefore, we have to deal with… Continue reading Why?
Fear Part 2
This is a short follow up to my Fear blog of a few days ago. Just a scripture to remember when we’re scared. Remember Who is in control. This world, the people in it, and circumstances can harm this body, but nothing and no one can take my soul away from my God unless I… Continue reading Fear Part 2
Messed Up
We’re all messed up! Do you believe that? I do. We are all messed up on some level. I even know a therapist who has current issues with family, so no one is exempt! There are different reasons for this. Some of us grew up in a household where the family was not what God… Continue reading Messed Up
Fear
What do you think of when you see the word fear? Do you think of what scares you the most? Do you think of some childhood fear you had? Do you think of scary movies? Of what are you afraid? The Bible and Jesus specifically commands us so many times not to be afraid. I… Continue reading Fear
The Lion and the Lamb
I love the analogy of God as the Lion and Jesus as the Lamb. There are many songs that have the line Lion of Judah in them. One that comes to my mind is from the movie “God’s Not Dead.” The song is the same as the movie title and sung by The Newsboys. It… Continue reading The Lion and the Lamb
The Airport
Don’t you just love the airport? I do! There are so many people going so many places! It’s the best place besides the mall to ‘people watch.’ People from all over the world are coming and going. The places to go are limitless! This morning I had to go to the airport to pick up… Continue reading The Airport
How Long?
When my girls were younger and I was blessed to be able to help out in our church youth group once in a while, the kids would sing a song from Psalm 13 called “How Long, O Lord” which I love. Here I’ve included the version by Nate Hale which I think is one of… Continue reading How Long?
The Sparrow
There’s a sparrow that sometimes comes outside the patio door of our cabin on the farm in Columbia. First, I heard its beautiful singing, then, I finally saw it. It is beautiful. I wasn’t able to capture a picture of it as it was too quick, but it kept coming back. I believe God puts… Continue reading The Sparrow
Prayer
Do you pray? Answer honestly. Do you really pray? Have you ever gone to God probably as your last resort and wept to Him, calling on Him, because there isn’t anyone or anywhere else you can go? If you’re a parent, you have probably realized that this is all you have. You can teach your… Continue reading Prayer
