Life Thoughts TodayFor we walk by faith, not by sight. 1 Corinthians 5:7 I love to use a silly example when I’m teaching women’s Bible study groups. Often, the ladies to whom I’m privileged to share God’s Word live extraordinarily more challenging lives than mine, so laughter is always a good way to bring a dose of joy […]
Blessed beyond measure. Cared for, beyond description. Seeing favor in ways & places far beyond what I deserve. And…sometimes still needing to pray for the ‘daily bread’ and basic financial provision to meet obligations each month. If those sound like opposites to you, I’m hoping this brief reflection will serve to re-arrange your thinking about […]
On this day, I will give you a key to my kingdom. It is believing that I am. Do not believe in what I will do for you or false definitions of happiness. You can believe in who I am, My character, My nature, my person. I am a real God, a real person. I […]
“Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock.

Hear the hoof beats of victory and the songs of salvation! See the sword of the Spirit raised high in glistening light. Open the great book of God’s Word and promises like a mighty hammer will defeat your enemies. For He has responded to the cries of pain and sorrow from His saints. Rest in […]
[Editor’s Note: Written in December 2020, who could have foreseen that December 2021 is in the same pattern] “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” —Matthew 6:34 ESV At this time last year, not a one of us expected the […]
Ever think, ‘how cool would it be’, to have the prophetic accuracy of Isaiah? To have seen and told of the coming Messiah – His birth, His life, His death. And, be read, studied, memorized by people for thousands of years. Some 500 years before Jesus’ birth, Isaiah declared the virgin would be with child. […]
Many of my people are scurrying around, buying gifts. They are afraid of a bare Christmas tree. These gifts are only a shadow of who I am. Why give a shadow when you can give light? I am the Light of the World. I am the true everlasting gift. I live inside you. You have […]
