Bruises of the Heart
Have you ever looked down at your arm, noticed a bruise, and wondered, "Where did that come from?" Sometimes a bruise is small; sometimes it is large and dark; sometimes it is deep and painful; and sometimes it is barely noticeable. But no matter what it looks like on...
A Life Held, Not Hustled
"My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips, when I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night; for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy. My...
Shalom, Shalom
I was walking out of the movie theater when a familiar voice spoke to me, "Shalom, Shalom, friend." I turned to see the elderly gentleman with kind eyes smiling at me. He was an older saint of God who had impacted my life over the years. He loaned me the money to buy...
Waiting on God
I guess if the only criteria for getting into heaven were waiting on God, I may be lacking. Like most people in today's world, I like to get what I want quickly. We are in an Amazon world…order today and get tomorrow. But God does not work that way. My first...

Look Up
I've come to really enjoy taking early morning walks. The fresh, crisp air, the cool breeze on my face, and the sun just beginning to rise create the perfect setting to start the day. I'm blessed to have access to a large piece of land that includes pastures, forests,...
The Sand on the Seashore
Ever since I was a little girl, I loved going to the beach. My parents and I would pack up the car and drive to California to visit family, and I always asked if we could go to the beach. Now, even as an adult, I love to go to the beach with my husband. I love to feel...
Are You a Fixer-Upper?
"We take the worst house in the best neighborhood and turn it into our clients' dream home." If you recognize these words, you might be a fan of HGTV's hit home improvement show "Fixer Upper". Chip and Joanna Gaines do indeed turn nightmares into dreams. Chip readily...
