LET’S MAKE A DEAL
Burt Reynolds isn’t one of my favorite actors, but I do remember him in a movie called, “The End.” When things started spinning out of control for his character, he began a negotiation with God – promising to give a … Continue reading
Guilt
I’m met by guilt on every day. It sweeps my peace of mind away. It starts with little things at dawn – why did I go and sleep so long? My socks don’t match – my hair’s a mess. Did … Continue reading
NO MORE SIN – NO MORE GUILT

Falling Short
The mom who expects her child rearing to be flawless – the dad who struggles to make a decent salary – the teen who tries to fit in – the grandma who has tried every wrinkle cream in the book … Continue reading
Alpha and Omega
You’re always there to pick me up when others pass me by. You always open up your arms and hear my mournful cry. You watch me as I sleep each night, you guard my very soul. You guard my steps, … Continue reading
I’M SORRY!
We are all sinners. We have proven that in our daily walk. Even when our intentions are good, our inmost being is being tempted by the father of lies. The devil is eager to eat us up. Sounds pretty hopeless? … Continue reading
TIMING IS EVERYTHING
I am very impatient as I think most of us are – especially living in a world full of instant communication, fast food, and getting answers to our questions immediately. We have become a society of people who want everything NOW! … Continue reading
LIFE REFLECTIONS
The autumn trees display their final brilliance before they die and leave only a skeletal remembrance of what was. Our days are numbered too. What shall we do in those final days to fulfill our final purpose on this planet? God … Continue reading
DO OUR PRAYERS MATTER?
I’ll pray for you. We’ll keep you in our prayers. I know God will answer prayer. These are words we use to help others be uplifted, overcome suffering or loss and give them comfort, but do our words make a … Continue reading
SPECIAL TIME WITH SOMEONE SPECIAL
There is something amazing about being a grandparent. It doesn’t only have to do with pride and a feeling of accomplishment, but is almost like having a second chance at motherhood. My grand daughter and I had a special time this weekend. … Continue reading
DOES HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF?
Think of what it was like in the 16th century, before the printing press was invented. Folks had to rely on word of mouth for their information and by the time they got it, it was so muddled, it was … Continue reading
OH HOLY SPIRIT – LIGHT DIVINE
There’s much to be said for having enthusiasm and boldness in sharing God’s Word, but sometimes that excitement can be misinterpreted – sometimes we forget who is really responsible for changing hearts and bringing unbelievers to Christ. He gave … Continue reading
GOOD or EVIL
Many of you are probably too young to remember the Looney Tune characters Tweety and Sylvester. Tweety was a caged canary and Sylvester a hungry cat. Each time the cat would approach the cage, he had a battle with … Continue reading
WHAT’S YOUR LEGACY?
We all have a certain amount of drama in our lives. Many have more than most. Some lead rather normal lives and some never experience anything dramatic at all. When you think about it, everything in our lives has some … Continue reading
Lord, Keep Us Steadfast in your Word
A book rests idly on a table gathering dust. It’s easy to see that it has been ignored for some time. The pages are dog-eared and worn out, but the content hasn’t changed. Notes are scribbled in the margins – … Continue reading
MY GUARDIAN ANGEL
I can’t help wondering how my guardian angel is doing. I’ve lived for over seventy years and given that angel a run for his money. I’m convinced he earns his wings over and over every day. I imagine him to look pretty … Continue reading
