  • It’s the simple moments of parenting that catch my attention.  This morning my six year old got out the crayons, drew me a picture of the Bible (I didn’t know it was a Bible until he told me), but the picture melted my heart.  On the front of the Bible it said, “I Love My…

  • God’s word is comforting my spirit today and reminding me of what is important… His will!  Thought I would share the verses God spoke into my weary spirit this morning.   John 16:33, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace.  In this world you will have trouble.  But…

  • Happy Birthday Robby!   12 years ago, you were first placed in my arms.  You were the most beautiful little red-headed baby I had ever seen.  I looked at you perfectly round cheeks and your thin baby soft red-hair and realized for the first time, “I’m a mom!”.  I instantly loved you!  Loved you with…

  •   Hymns play softly in the background. Singing praises to the King! This heart of mine filled with joy. God is good!   Looking out the window. I see the breeze gently blowing through the trees. I see the light of Heaven shining on branches. The branches reaching up to Heaven.   Hymns continue playing……

  • Words fail me this evening, but my heart is full of the emotions of life.   At times…  I can’t seem to put into words all that I’m feeling.  I can’t seem to make sense of everything that is going on around me. I can’t seem to make sense of relationships gone awry.  I can’t…

  • People say… I’m too sensitive. You know what? They’re right. I certainly am sensitive. My heart feels deeply. What does it mean… “To be too sensitive?” Could it mean this heart easily beats emotion? Could it be the sensitive spirit of The Lord? The power of the Holy Spirit beating deep inside. People say… I’m…

  • You say, “I have a problem with the “traditional” Christian!” You say, “Christians are all hypocrites, judgmental, and legalistic pharisees!” You say, “I don’t go to church because Christians are all fake!” You repeatedly speak of your deep dissatisfaction with the church body as a whole. For months, I sat and listened to your hatred…

  •   Sitting in a big auditorium… Waiting for my ALL TIME favorite group to take the stage… I take a look around and I see thousands of people.   Looking around, I think to myself “These are my brothers and sisters in Christ.”   Looking to my right and I my sweet young friend… She…
