During this week before we celebrate Jesus’ resurrection, we see signs of it everywhere. There are shows on TV about Him. There are things for sale at stores that remind us that it’s getting close to Easter. But I hope that most of all the reminder is in our hearts not just these few days… Continue reading Jesus

Just do it!
I confess these last couple of weeks have hit me hard physically which in turn affects me emotionally. I was feeling very poorly; couldn’t really put my finger on one thing to describe how I felt except to say that it wasn’t good. I had the flu; my blood sugar was up; I wasn’t able… Continue reading Just do it!
Who are ‘they?’
The other day I caught myself saying, “That’s what they say.” Then, I got to thinking. Who are ‘they?’ Why are ‘they’ the be all and end all? Are ‘they’ the experts on whatever we are talking about? I guess it’s easier to say ‘that’s what they say’ than to have concrete evidence of what… Continue reading Who are ‘they?’
Shaken not Stirred
Do you ever feel shaken? I’m not talking about shaken as in scared, although that could be the case. What I mean is shaken in the sense that Satan has a hold on you and is shaking you to pieces. Sometimes it feels like he’s got one of our feet and is holding tight. We… Continue reading Shaken not Stirred
In Too Deep
Is there such a thing as being in too deep? Is it a bad thing to be? Maybe. I believe it’s good and right to be in deep with some people you’ve invested time and love with like spouse or kids. But what about things like jobs, or people who aren’t deserving, or things that… Continue reading In Too Deep
Can anyone hear me?
Sometimes circumstances in this life have us screaming. Most of the time no one can hear us because we are screaming on the inside. We think we are alone and no one hears our cries. But Someone can. And He’s listening. Always. It may not seem like it. We ask why. Why is this happening?… Continue reading Can anyone hear me?
It’s Not a Game!
**Warning: You might be offended reading this one!! My husband and I are always on the look out for good shows to watch. We love a good drama, and sometimes, I can even get him to watch a romance with me! We had heard how good the show Game of Thrones was, so we decided… Continue reading It’s Not a Game!
Promise?
When we were kids, did you ever hear someone ask, ‘Promise?’ and the reply may have been, ‘Cross my heart and hope to die, stick a needle in my eye.’ Remember that? I’m not sure where that came from. Maybe I’d heard it from my older siblings or friends. It is weird to think about… Continue reading Promise?
Signs
Do you believe the events that happen in our lives occur for a reason? Do we pay enough attention to them to realize that maybe the spiritual world is touching our world for just a minute? That God and His angels are trying to help us or tell us something? My mom has had knee… Continue reading Signs
Who is for you?
Some days it feels like everything and everyone is against us. Just when we have something important to do, we get sick. Just when we think we’re pleasing everyone, someone is angry with us. Life is just like that sometimes. I was reminded this morning in my devotional reading of Psalm 56 verse 9 that… Continue reading Who is for you?
