We are a hurry-busy-fast society. However, a hand has reached down often enough in my life that SLAMMED on the brakes, Jesus calls to me. Take more time with Me, get into the Word, tomorrow is not promised, but today — it’s here, let’s move some mountains, let’s climb to the top instead of wallowingContinue reading “It Takes Time”

Reconnected
As you have probably experienced; losing a password and jumping through a variety of hoops can be very frustrating. This happened here, with WordPress! I have missed writing and encouraging! This scripture came to me inside a card from a friend today. I thought it was incredibly powerful. When we are down and out, weContinue reading “Reconnected”
Pieces of Community
In the past two days I’ve spent a good amount of time with UU’ers (Unitarian Universalists). I remain a “friend” of this community, as I had been an active participant for four years. Some Christians would tell you “don’t converse with unsaved folks.” But that NEVER made sense to me. How are you supposed toContinue reading “Pieces of Community”
Pieces of Loss
There are many variations of loss. Of life, love, a health diagnosis, home, job, and whatever it is, is the most important thing to you at the time. No one could possibly understand, even if they can relate – it’s not the same. Sometimes we don’t want empathy as much as we want someone toContinue reading “Pieces of Loss”
Pieces of Broken Chain
While doing my devotions this morning, I added music to my routine. Blasted the volume on my laptop and plugged into YouTube and started with Selah, Wonderful Merciful Savior, then one of my favorites by Jesus Culture; “Break Every Chain.” I was reminded of what keeps me in bondage; bad habits some might say, butContinue reading “Pieces of Broken Chain”
Where Do You Find God?
I find God on a quiet day, in nature, the sound of wind always reminds me of Jesus. As if He is whispering to me. Also in my daily devotions, or wanderings in the bible. Today “faith” was a dominant word in my day; it came reading Hebrews; all of the people who chose (notContinue reading “Where Do You Find God?”
On This Day
Facebook has a feature called “On This Day,” it’s a flashback to the past, a year ago, three years ago, 6 years ago. And, as only Facebook can do, it picks out the positive during that time frame. Unfortunately, life can be ugly or hurtful. And looking back a year, or three is not somethingContinue reading “On This Day”
What we gain by giving up
During this Lenten season, some are giving up sugar or Facebook or something else that bogs down their time or life. Some; instead of giving up, are giving. They are volunteering or adding more bible study to their routine. Whatever path you choose, make it prayerful, make it important. You are in essence, to denyContinue reading “What we gain by giving up”
Pieces of Humility
Oh the irony!!!! While perusing our church’s small library, I was asked if I was looking for a specific subject; I held my breath for a second; hmmm……how best to answer this? Well, yes, I’m looking for a book on “Humility.” Touchy subject, isn’t it? For some, they may feel “right” or “deserving” of somethingContinue reading “Pieces of Humility”
