I Am Thankful- Psalm 136:1 (NIV)
I had a dentist appointment today. I was concerned that I had an infection due to my gum being tender. I was right, so now I am on antibiotics. It is so important to keep up with my health. I only wished I could have kept up with my dental care years ago, but I […]
Know the Truth- I John 4:1 (NIV)
I had a dream that caused me to think, “what am I listening to or reading that isn’t God’s Word?” I do not want to be confused about the truth. I want to know the truth. I am seeking to know God more in His Word. There are many false teachers in the world and […]
Be Still for a Moment- Psalm 46:10 (NIV)
I woke up feeling overwhelmed. I looked at my calendar, and it was full of appointments. I need to slow down. I have a bad habit of putting more things on my already full calendar. Last year, I read a great book on slowing down. Umm, I need to apply that, right now! I […]
Stay on Top of Things- Romans 12:3 (NASB)
I had a cardiology appointment today. I have high cholesterol. I am told it is hereditary. Anyway, I take a shot every other week. I wonder where I would be if I read God’s word every other week, and applied it the same? I know I would be in bad shape. My health is important, […]
Correction is Good- Hebrews 12:6 (amplified)
Not often do others like to be corrected, but I have grown to appreciate it. When it comes to my writing, I believe it can only make it better. If I want to do my best, I must be willing to be corrected. God corrects us too. I believe He wants us to live righteous […]
Spending Time with Friends- Psalm 133:1 (KJV)

Wash Me! Psalm 51:17 (NIV)
While down on my knees scrubbing my dirty floors, I could not believe all the dirt hiding in the crevices. It was bad. It was hard work, crawling on my knees, but I am glad I finished it. It is easy to give up when tasks seem hard, but I know I need to keep […]
God Loves- I John 4:9 (NIV)
Today’s sermon was on creation. I appreciate how the pastor brought out the attributes of God. God is all knowing and ever-present. That is comforting. I do not have to worry. If I am following Him, I can trust that He will take care of me and any situation that concerns me. This is how […]
Forge Ahead- Philippians 3:13 (NIV)
As I start this new year, I need to put aside all those things that so easily entangle me. I need to forget those things that were in the past and press forward to what God has for me. When the Israelites came out of Egypt, they kept looking back. They struggled to walk […]
“Stop In”- Hebrews 13:2 (KJV)
My bird house, outside my picture window, says, “Stop In.” My husband designed it. I like that sign. It reminds me of how I ought to be when folks need me. I should be open to anyone showing up at my door. I have been a scrooge when people show up without contacting me […]
