Does God Have Amnesia?

Does God Have AmnesiA? Philippians 1.6

Do you think God forgot? Oh no, he didn't forget your prayer, I assure you!

Hmm, I don't know--maybe the prayer that is answered more often than any other has just eight words-two words, repeated four times: "Oh God, oh God, oh God, oh God!' We pray these words as we come to the end of ourselves, of…

Verbal Sunshine?

Verbal Sunshine? Philippians 1.3-8

Encouragement is like verbal sunshine. It costs nothing ... it warms hearts and enriches lives. Truth is, encouragement is a gift to the soul.

In the middle of the word is courage, which is built from the root word 'cor', meaning heart. To live with courage is to live fully from one's…

Does God Love YOU?

Does

God

Love

You? Philippians 1.3

God's heart is so full of love for you it is difficult to comprehend.

God's heart desires one thing-to love and be loved by humanity. You too!

God's heart shows no partiality; he is an equal opportunity lover. Yep everyone.

There is no partiality with God,…

Peace to you ... from jail?

Peace to you ... from jail?

Peace is a sought-after thing--often elusive in this day and age. Now I am not talking about the absence of war, or the absence of violence, but rather the state of inner tranquility. Loosely speaking, peace is peddled in many ways, and people are willing to do just about anything to get it! Aromatherapy, self-help books, yoga, relaxation, anti-depressants, self-hypnosis, essential oils, light therapy ... we…

Can I get FreshER with you?

Can I Get Fresher with You? New Year, 2018.

Life is truly a gift. Making choices about how we spend our hours and days is a luxury. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all, said Helen Keller. Personally, I want to wring all there is out of it! Found this article about a fella who went back to his home country because he was dying,…

Can I Get Fresh with You? New Year, 2018.

NOT so fast!

NOT so fast! I love a new year!

by the way - where ya' been?

"So, last day of 2017," I casually quipped to the cashier a few days ago. She passed my groceries across the scanner, and briefly looked up, "Two thousand Eighteen can't get here soon enough!" The implication - the year has not treated her kindly, and she is hoping for better in this new year.

The. New. Year. Been really sick for a…

The Best Christmas Letter

The Best Christmas Letter?

What if you opened today's mail and got a Christmas letter from Jesus? Maybe he would write something like this:

Dear child,

A blessed Christmas time to you! Just as the townspeople of Bethlehem…

Sheep ... seriously?

Sheep ... seriously? At Christmas?

Have you ever noticed that God seems to have been a little partial to shepherds? I guess it follows then that the Father thinks rather a lot of sheep as well! Would it surprise you to know that I saw shepherds driving flocks of mottle-coated sheep whilst in Israel? Quite a remarkable site actually.

The most glorious of the three yuletide visitations…

God has thick skin

God has thick skin.

How did I come up with such a notion?

I shall tell you.

Tired as I was the other night, (having gotten home from helping my daughter and new grand-twins at the hospital, and then taking care of the two young ones at home) . . . when the phone rang the other night, my daughter's tense voice set off alarms in my heart. 'Mom, I think I'm…
