Do you remember this commercial called High Flight? I remember it well. I can remember crying when the narrator, William Conrad, said the last line, “reach out and touch the face of God.” Do you remember this one called Keep America Beautiful? This one also made me choke up as the Indian teared up looking… Continue reading What If?

Don’t Do It!
As a Christ follower living in this fallen world, we often see the worst in ourselves and others. Sometimes we see it happening, and other times we wake up and wonder how we arrived where we are. Yesterday, I was talking with some ladies I’ve known for over 20 years. Even though we don’t talk… Continue reading Don’t Do It!
Not the Ugly
I’ve mentioned before in my blog how we love to watch The Andy Griffith Show. When I’m at the gym on the machines, I watch it on my phone often laughing out loud and getting weird looks from others. As I was watching an episode the other day, I heard Barney say something we don’t… Continue reading Not the Ugly
The World Squeezes
Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but whoever does the will… Continue reading The World Squeezes
Where?
Don’t you dread that late night call or text. It makes me wonder what has happened or who has died. I usually silence my phone at night when I’m asleep. Sometimes I forget to put it on vibrate as I did last night. Around 11:00 I received a text. It woke me when I heard… Continue reading Where?
Under the Rug
My siblings and I were brought up to sweep our problems under the rug so that no one knew we had any troubles. It may have seemed to others looking in that we were the perfect family. Only those closest to our family knew of anything wrong. But we were definitely not the perfect family!… Continue reading Under the Rug
Who Do You Think You Are?
How many of us walk around this earth thinking more of ourselves than we ought? We have the mindset of we’ve arrived so now the party can begin. Yesterday, my blog was a conversation between God and Job. You can read it here if you missed it. Actually, I’m not sure I’d call the verbal… Continue reading Who Do You Think You Are?
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
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
