I’ve attended a handful of classes with “Life in 10 Minutes“. Today, they offered a virtual session. Our goal was to use our senses in writing. Elizabeth asked us to think of an event, a place, or time, and we built in different aspects of writing while using our senses. What joy to have this…

Praying this for you… May God be gracious to us and bless us     and make his face shine on us. Psalm 67:1 I am a big fan of Audible. They offered a free download for a guided meditation on loving kindness. I’ve done the meditation at night to pray for loved ones and those around…

What we pray for will be revealed. What we expect and the reality of what is before us will often make us question if our prayers have been answered. The married couple becomes disenchanted when the bills pile up and the car needs repairs. The pregnant mom becomes overwhelmed when the reality of no sleep…

When you were born, what was going on in the world? I love those birthday cards that highlight your birthday with the number one song on the charts, this day in history, and famous people who share your birthday.

Do you believe what God says to you? Yes. We believe, but, as the person begs of Jesus on behalf of his son, “Help my unbelief” (Mark 9:24). The story behind the verse: After the boy’s father further explained his son’s condition, he said to Jesus, “If you can do anything, take pity on us…

Do what makes your soul sing! I heard that line in the movie, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. Do we truly have the freedom to choose what makes our soul sing? If you are like me, your life is a mixture of personal choices along with events that were out of your control. You…

Stories have always intrigued me. A good storyteller who can hold your attention can bring renewed understanding on any topic or new material. We remember the content because we were emotionally connected to the story. I read a blog that highlighted Chick-fil-A’s new employee training. Part of your training consists of a short video reminding…

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on…

I don’t know what I would do without friends and loved ones speaking the truth and encouraging me. I’m not talking about advice or judgment but compassionate messages of hope. Jeremiah was called the weeping prophet to the Jewish nation during their captivity in Babylon. Despite the picture of hopelessness, God gave a message through…
