I’ve talked about expectations in my blog before, but I thought I’d share another idea. This past weekend we were blessed to be able to go camping with friends and family. In one of our conversations, expectations came up. My friend said she focuses on the Bible verse Psalm 5:3. From the NIV it says:… Continue reading Watching

This morning I can’t help but be thinking about David. My daily Bible reading continues in 2 Samuel with his life and struggles. I think of David as the great king, but I forget all the sorrow he had in his life. The sins, the death of his sons and friends, and the betrayals. It’s… Continue reading Sorrow

One of my sister’s favorite people in the Bible is David, and rightly so! He was called ‘a man after God’s own heart.’ That can mean different things to each of us. This morning’s daily Bible reading was David and Bathsheba. David sinned greatly, committing adultery, murder, and trying to cover it all up. But… Continue reading Are you blind?!?

Have you ever smelled something that was so bad you thought you might get sick? Have you ever smelled anything so good that you couldn’t help but continue to sniff so you could relive that wonderful smell over and over? Then, there are the times I go to my mom’s house and smell my daddy… Continue reading What’s that smell?

When I was growing up, I loved to play board games. I still love to play them! Yesterday, in our Bible class, the teacher used the analogy that life is like this: we think we have it all together, then someone flips over the game board and all the pieces go flying! This is so… Continue reading The Game

Why do we have to have signs like this? Don’t we know we have to push the door open or pull it? Don’t we know where the exits are located? Don’t we know to be cautious or yield? Don’t we know? No, we don’t know and that is the problem! This is why we need… Continue reading Signs

How many times have we been tempted by others who try to get us to do something we know isn’t right in God’s eyes? Maybe it’s to gossip. Maybe it’s to get angry. Maybe it’s to curse. Maybe it’s something worse. In Ephesians 5 Paul talks about not being sexually immoral. In today’s world this… Continue reading Empty Words

Did you know we are living in heavenly places right now? I’ve never thought deeply about this subject until lately. My daily Bible reading this morning was the book of Ephesians. Paul mentions ‘heavenly places’ several times. It doesn’t seem like heaven here on earth with all the trials we are experiencing. But what I… Continue reading Heavenly Places

People used to ask one another, “What’s your story?” I haven’t heard it in a while, but I’ve asked it before. If you’re on Facebook or Instagram, you can post your story, and it’s usually just moments or thoughts or a blog. But what is your story? Really? What would you tell people? What would… Continue reading What’s your story?
