Then the Lord spoke to Job out of the storm. He said: Who is this that obscures my plans with words without knowledge? Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me. Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct him? Let him who accuses God answer him! Then Job answered the Lord: I am unworthy—how can I reply to… Continue reading Just Like Job

Fearless
When I was a kid, I was a huge tomboy. I rode my bike everywhere, climbed trees, played in the creek, caught crawdads, and even took three snakes to school for show and tell in second grade. I was fearless. Funny how all that changes when you grow up. They say fear is a learned… Continue reading Fearless
Psalm 100
On your feet now—applaud God! Bring a gift of laughter, sing yourselves into his presence. Know this: God is God, and God, God. He made us; we didn’t make him. We’re his people, his well-tended sheep. Enter with the password: “Thank you!” Make yourselves at home, talking praise. Thank him. Worship him. For God is sheer beauty, all-generous in love, loyal always and ever. (The Message)
Holy Water
It is said that 60% of our body is made of water. The brain and the heart have 73% and the lungs 83% water. We need to drink a lot of water every day to sustain that amount and keep our bodies healthy. It makes sense to me that our hearts and brains have more… Continue reading Holy Water
In My Bones
As kids and even as adults sometimes we do things and act certain ways to belong. We want to belong to a person, a club, a clique, or church youth group. But there comes a point in time, hopefully sooner than later, for every human when we know, we really know, we don’t belong. And… Continue reading In My Bones

Fractured
Once upon a time… We’ve all seen them or read them. The fairy tale movies and books where the prince gets the princess and the ogre gets what’s coming to him. If you don’t know, I teach library at a private school. I have done this for several years and enjoy it very much! One… Continue reading Fractured
In the Eye of the Storm
I love rain and storms as long as we are safe. But there are some storms that aren’t full of rain and thunder. They are the storms of life. Have you ever asked yourself if God is talking in the eye of the storm? Job 38 says (The Message): God answered Job from the eye of… Continue reading In the Eye of the Storm
Seasons
When I am in Nashville, I like to listen to the Oldies radio station. Other times I listen on a music app on my phone. The other day I was driving along listening when a song, Seasons in the Sun, came on I haven’t heard in so long. It actually made me tear up! I… Continue reading Seasons
Wondrous Story!
I often blog about music. I love to remember my Daddy singing in worship, and I often wake with a song in my mind and on my heart. It seems in the church today, there is some controversy between the ‘new’ songs and the ‘older’ more traditional songs. There are good in both! Our congregation,… Continue reading Wondrous Story!
