Have you felt “stuck” in your prayer life? Sometimes we forget the more we lean on Christ, the less stuck we become, and the softer the place is to land. But it’s hard “getting there” sometimes. I was recently hospitalized. I actually could not pull a decent prayer together in my head, I couldn’tContinue reading “When we get stuck”

Agape Love
Webster defines “agape” as being in a state of wonder. I often felt the meaning was to “love as Jesus loved,” it also involves faithfulness, commitment, and an act of the will. It is distinguished from the other types of love by its lofty moral nature and strong character. Agape love is beautifully described inContinue reading “Agape Love”
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”
Holy Month
April is just around the corner and our holy month begins; Palm Sunday, Passover, Good Friday and Easter. The death, burial and resurrection — the miracle that saved our life. Do you believe? That is all that is asked of us, to believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins. People don’t like to seeContinue reading “Holy Month”
Epiphany Pieces
In the endless battle to control paper in my home office, I came across this incredibly raw and honest “piece” (scrap) that fits right in with the spiritual path I am on at different times in my life. The bigger circle was fighting me. I gave in and pushed at the edges realizing this isContinue reading “Epiphany Pieces”
