I have a couple of Pandora stations I listen to when driving to and from work. Since I don’t have a membership, there are commercials. One of them is Mike Vrabel, the Tennessee Titans’ coach, talking about these ‘uncertain times.’ Are we living in uncertain times? No. In John 16:33, Jesus said, “I have told… Continue reading Uncertain?

Liar, Liar
There is one person at work who asks me almost every day am I doing okay. I’m sure they ask everyone they meet the same question. I, of course, say I’m am fine. I often wonder what they’d say if I asked back, “Do you really want to know” or “How much time have you… Continue reading Liar, Liar
Let the Little Children
I love my job. Really. I am privileged to work in a Christian environment with a group of wonderful people. But the best part of it is the kids. We have 17 kindergarteners. It is a delight to see their eyes light up when they get excited. They are always wanting hugs and saying they… Continue reading Let the Little Children
KYMS
Recently, my boss told me, “It’s a slippery slope.” While at the time, we weren’t talking about anything harmful, it got me to thinking. How many times have I had my feet on a slippery slope? How many times have my hands needed to hold onto the guard rails while on that slope only to… Continue reading KYMS
Win, Lose, or Draw
Remember when the game Win, Lose, or Draw was popular? First, it was a show on TV, then, a party game. It was so liked by people other similar games were created like Pictionary. If the person drawing was good enough, then his or her teammates would be able to guess the correct answer. I… Continue reading Win, Lose, or Draw
Silent Night
As we near Christmas Day, it seems the whole world is focused on Jesus. While we know December 25th probably wasn’t His birthday, it is still celebrated as so. It might bother some of us who have OCD, but I choose to think that anytime anyone is focused on Jesus is a good thing! Yesterday… Continue reading Silent Night
On the Ark
As mentioned in previous blogs, I have a lot of things I’d change if I could go back. I think we can all say that. I saw a post on Facebook last week that hit me hard. I’ll try to share even though I may get the details different. A little boy was in Sunday… Continue reading On the Ark
Psalm 91
On my way to work each day, I pass a house with a simple sign by the driveway that says Psalm 91. I didn’t know what exactly that Psalm said until I looked it up. How fitting it is for today… Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the… Continue reading Psalm 91
When the Rubber Meets the Road
What kind of person are you? Who are you when the rubber meets the road? There are several people in my life that I admire, but there are two specifically who uplift me. One I am lucky enough to be related to and the other I am privileged to work beside every day. These two… Continue reading When the Rubber Meets the Road
Stifling
I believe the Holy Spirit works so much more than we know nor do we use His power in us as we should. I believe He puts thoughts and people on our minds and hearts. Last week a friend texted a few of us prayer warriors asking for prayers. She didn’t need to give any… Continue reading Stifling
