I realize as I bring up this next “if” in John 8, this was directed towards those in the crowd that doubted and would not listen to the voice of Jesus. As I have kept reading this section, I also see Jesus speaking a word to those who do. “Jesus said to them, “If God…

A question that I have been pondering over this election season as I watched everything unfold was this. What if you are wrong? Well, me too. What if I am wrong? That uncertainty can shake us, or it can bring us to our knees, asking the Lord for His truth to permeate all of our…

Catchy, right? I never have read the book of James with my eye on the Sermon on the Mount. My Holman Christian Standard Bible brought this to light and now I’m researching. It’s wild to see the influence Jesus’ words had on his brother James. Thank you, Lord for revealing that to me today. I…

We had very strong winds recently that caught our front screen door and bent it. I realized, a little too late, how much that has helped us keep Luna from bolting out. She got out three times recently. The first time I didn’t realize she was out and was busy in the kitchen. I heard…

I work at a doctor’s office and meet all sorts of people. All sorts. Within maybe thirty seconds of picking up a call, I am able to tell how this conversation will go. Tone, words, sighs, etc tell me all i need to know. The challenge for me is to care for each person, listen…

Today’s post is a bit different. I came across Psalm 66 and wanted to spend some more time. All join the shouts of joy to God..the whole earth x2. (Vs. 1 & vs. 3) What to sing about… the glory of his name(vs.2), his awe inspiring works(vs.3), his great strength(vs. 3), his name (vs.4), his…

One of my favorite games I play with our little dog Luna is throw a toy, she runs after it. And while she is running after the toy, I throw another one. She stops, considers her options and chooses. then I throw another one. And on we go. Her confusion pinnacles and then she looks…

We have labels for everything. We have names. We even have label makers. Have you ever noticed labels also create walls? Labels can create an us vs them situation. Happens all the time. When we label someone, we create a barrier. Proximity to the ones we label changes our view. We see people then, not…

Recently, I set aside time to be with friends and have some quiet, away from phone and distractions.. The beauty of a phone set aside, allowing the Spirit to lead rather than a concordance or cross reference. (Not that there is anything wrong with these resources.) It is very easy to rely on resources, and…

I will fully admit that my thumb is not green. I don’t think it’s even a slight tinge of the vibrant color that suggest affability with plants, flowers, etc. My mom gifted me, once again, a whole supply of hostas. Last time, it didn’t go well. I killed them. I am so excited because I…
