A sweet friend of mine invited me to go kayaking; I’ve never been, so I excitedly accepted! It wasn’t until a bit later that I realized what a kayak actually looks like and how short the sides are that might keep you safely inside!! But then I thought to myself, “Don’t worry, remember that oneContinue reading “Life Preserver”

Come Get Salty
Wonders of real discovery are always found in the WORD (get it… W.onders O.f R.eal D.iscovery = The W.O.R.D., God’s Word, the Bible – good thing I can keep myself amused easily)! Anyways… take simple table salt for example… Table salt is actually made up of two volatile chemical compounds. The first is a silveryContinue reading “Come Get Salty”
“Should we pull the weeds?!”
“The farmer’s workers went to him and said, ‘Sir, the field where you planted that good seed is full of weeds! Where did they come from?’ “‘An enemy has done this!’ the farmer exclaimed. “‘Should we pull out the weeds?’ they asked. “‘No,’ he replied, ‘you’ll uproot the wheat if you do. Let both growContinue reading ““Should we pull the weeds?!””
Land Sakes!
My great grandmother used to use the exclamation, “land sakes!” Which in a roundabout way got me thinking about who or what do I allow to stake ground, or land, in my mind? What I allow to stake ground in my mind will govern who’s sake I’ll live for. Oh for Pete’s sake, let’s diveContinue reading “Land Sakes!”
Choose to Sing
I was stopped in my tracks mid morning run, and not because of the biting air or cold sleeting snow rain or even my sloshy soggy tennis shoes, but because of a breathtaking symphony of birds!! I couldn’t see even one of them, as they were all well tucked away from the elements within theContinue reading “Choose to Sing”

And yet this brings to mind something Scriptural of course… In the book of Matthew we see bookend verses that practicallyContinue reading “Your Life’s Author”
MORE POWER!
Hello my dear friend. I’m glad you are here. Even if I cannot physically see you I’m grateful for the blessing of your presumed presence on the same page as I.

When You Can’t Fix It
So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10 (NIV) We tend to “santa-cize” the Christmas story, when it was, in reality, saturated with fear, doubt, dashed dreams,Continue reading “When You Can’t Fix It”
Holding And Yet Held Firm
… you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.” Genesis 32:28 (NIV) Ever since Genesis 3 in history when imperfection entered the world via imperfect human choices, perfect storms have been a guarantee for us all. In the guarantee of “life storms”, which by definition is anything that stresses us out, weContinue reading “Holding And Yet Held Firm”
Winning
In Jesus, you are always winning more than you are losing; in spite of how you feel or how things may appear. When Moses was struggling with God’s commission for him (Exodus 3, 4), God didn’t build up his self esteem saying, but Moses you have been to the palace, you even know how toContinue reading “Winning”
