    Today I am starting my repetition/trying to memorize/oof, why can’t I get this…of Matthew 5:13-16. These are very well known passages to me, heard them over and over growing up. Heard sermons. Sung songs about this little light I have and how I was supposed to let it shine. But, before I delve into light,…

  • So much to say…

    I have written this first part twice now. Neither is what I want to say. So I’m just jumping in. As I have recently shared I’m trying to memorize, trying being the operative word here. Lol. I’m stuck right now on verses 10, 11 and 12. , Blessed are those. Blessed are you. I appreciate…

    When one of my children was younger, I was a leader in a group they were involved. I would watch every week how nobody would talk with them, except their siblings and his friends. There is an aspect of human nature, I think, that loves to be a part of the crowd. That gravitates toward…

    There’s a song that rings in my head this morning, “Jesus, Thank You.” This one phrase, “once your enemy, now seated at your table, Jesus, thank you.” I am not sure if this will hit, but have you ever been so cold and come in and let a hot beverage warm your hands, taken a…

  • Rulers and authorities

    I went to sleep weighed down by concerns of this world. I woke up with the same concerns. And slowly, quietly, I began to remember my post from yesterday and the words: “…thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through him and for him.”Colossians 1;16 HSCB Each of us has something…

    Well, this story has nothing to do with my title, but I thought, overnight, that I was dreaming about cats in my bed. I, in fact, was not. The picture I included a few days ago of a Milo (on social media) wedged in the window sill…he attempted many times overnight. I know this because…

    I, as a fifty year old woman, began reading the Lord of the Rings books. We binged the entire movies series on Sunday because why not? And I decided it was high time to read the series. So take my thoughts on the LOTR world with this in mind. Immediately after looking at the next…

    I’ve been rolling this idea around in my mind, on my walks, in my quiet times. I find it valuable for me to document where I am spiritually and mentally in this space. I sit on my bed, look out my window, and have my Bible open and ready. It’s been a lovely thing. I…

    When my mind finds a truth worth hearing over and over again, I guess i start reading the Bible looking for it. I just can’t get over how wonderful is the truth that Jesus is near. The Holy Spirit is with us. So, as I am meandering around the word, I’m listening for this. This…
