His Work
Bury the Chicken!
A lady shared a beautiful story to illustrate the love and grace of God. I tried to find the story on the internet, but I could not find it anywhere. So, it makes me wonder if her husband created this story? I’m not sure. Just before one of our sessions, someone brought up their time…
When you Worship you Pray Twice!
“When you worship you pray twice.” That was an ongoing quote shared during the ladies’ retreat weekend. This morning on the way to work, I was praying to God about a conflict in which words were spoken in haste, and the residual effects were looming on the way to work. A worship song came on the…
My Cup Runs Over!
What is your birth order? Are you the first born? Middle child? The youngest? What season of life within your family did you come into this world? What did your parents see fit to name you? Jeremiah 1:4-5 The word of the LORD came to me, saying, Before I formed you in the womb I…
“I will bless you…and you will be a blessing to others” (Genesis 12: 2-3)
The One Thing Christians Should Stop Saying was shared with me by a treasured friend. The author, Scott Dannemiller, boldly addressed the popularized expression: “I’m blessed”. When I say that my material fortune is the result of God’s blessing, it reduces The Almighty to some sort of sky-bound, wish-granting fairy who spends his days randomly bestowing…

This year’s Harvest Moon happens tonight, Sept. 8 and it will also be the moment of our natural satellite’s perigee, or the point at which the Moon is closest to Earth. This means it will light up the night sky even more than usual, and will appear bigger. According to the National Aeronautics and Space…
Shake it off and do the next thing
One day a farmer’s donkey fell into an abandoned well. Terrified, the animal cried for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old and impossible to retrieve. He realized the well needed to be filled to prevent future losses. So he invited all his neighbors…
God created you…
Today is a very special day of celebrating a friend’s pregnancy and soon-to-be with us baby girl. I’ve reflected on all the verses that God has given us to remind us that He created us. He loves us. He has a plan for us. What is so amazing is that He foreknew us, and, in advance,…
God’s Love Language
God’s love language is worship. Yesterday, Pastor Stan, shared this message at Cloverhill Assembly of God. If you want to show God just how much you love Him–worship! God is an emotional God. The Bible shares that God can be angry, show pity, be merciful, take delight,…… God is not a computer or machine, or…
Because He Lives!
Keep it moving. Life is filled with twists and turns and unexpected surprises. My mom’s favorite quotes for me ring true Bloom where you are planted. Face the challenge “line upon line”. When you have a day in which every category of your life seems to be a cacophony of questions and unresolved issues, you…
ARRESTED BY GRACE
