Busy Work

“Do your planning and prepare your fields before building your house.” Proverbs 24:27 NIV   I watched her just about every day.   She worked and worked and never stopped. Her diligence was impressive. Her tenacity was intriguing. The urgency was noted.   The spot where she picked to work seemed futile and I had my doubts it would come together, but […]

Monday, Monday

“And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:20       Happy Monday!       Why the excitement?   Because today is one more day that the Lord has made—beyond the egg hunts, the chocolate bunnies (ears gone by now-yum), the church services and the dress […]

Don’t Forget

“Don’t misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose.” Matthew 5:17     Our Jewish friends will be celebrating Passover in a week.  A time to reflect when God moved mightily in a land called Egypt and rescued the chosen people from enslavement.  A time when death fell upon […]

At The Core

Spilt Faith

It was one of those weeks!   But I had no idea the week I complained about would pale in comparison to one evening a few nights ago.   I needed milk for a recipe.  It was on a top shelf behind the juice pitchers.  I was in a rush.  I reached to the back […]

Connected

 “But in my distress, I cried out to the Lord; yes, I prayed to my God for help. He heard me from his sanctuary; my cry to him reached his ears.”  Psalm 18:5 NLT   How do you stay connected to those you know?   In this social-media, ever present, lightning fast world—how do you […]

Chained

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy…” John 10:10 NIV     My husband had to point it out to me.   I completely walked past without even noticing.   When I doubled back, we stood and stared and then laughed.       I feel bad for the owner, I really […]
