Guest Post by my Pastor Jim Wilder. YOU BETTER GET IT RIGHT WHEN IT MATTERS! Did your team win last night? I have to confess that I was left disappointed as I hoped for a repeat from the mighty Seahawks! I have to remind myself it’s just a game, yet like many of you, I […]
Is Your Porch Facing the Right Direction? I’m preaching a revival in Lake Wales. (And wow has God been awesome!) We didn’t really want to get on the treadmill at the hotel, so Wayne found this great park downtown. Southern Hospitality We were greeted by a pair of trumpeting red-headed Florida Sand Cranes. That’s right, […]
February Prayer Focus Praying through the Book of Acts in 28 Days 1. For empowered witnessing. “We shall received power…and ye shall be witnesses” (Acts 1:8). 2. For a spirit of “one accord” to prevail among the churches. “When the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place” […]
Comfort You? Console. Comfort. Support. Quiet Well-being There are beautiful pictures of being comforted all around us. He was headed to his garden when her clucks stopped his wide stride. He had frightened a turkey hen with her chicks that were feeding on the hillside. Motionless, he watched the chicks scurry under their mama’s wings. […]
Prayer Training Keira always offers the same foot first when I offer to help her get her shoes on, as she goes out the door. I haven’t learned her habit so I always offer the wrong shoe. It’s a habit that her mom started very young, left foot first, then the right foot. The routine makes […]
This isn’t a Christmas post. This is not even a late Christmas post. Maybe it’s just my personality…maybe I’m trying to get the last little bit…like trying to squeeze the last little bit of toothpaste out of a totally flat tube. But I don’t want to leave the season without getting transparent with you one more time. […]
I want to share a table scape with a Candy Cane Prayer Christmas message with you. A beautiful table with a beautiful message, a winning combination for sure. I’ve been putting up Christmas decorations. Designing table scapes are my favorite thing to do in the whole world, well, except preaching and playing with my grandkids […]
And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Luke 2:7 NAS It is only mentioned in Luke. And Luke doesn’t comment. He simply states the fact…no room. Nothing more. I want more information. How many […]
It’s FUN! Really? People try to explain it to me, but I don’t get it. This whole fear factor element behind the way some folks celebrate Halloween.They defend their enjoyment with “It’s fun! It’s an adrenal rush!” My daughter echoed my sentiments when she shared the stark terror one little boy encountered at one […]
This Alabama girl, (Yes, that’s where I got this accent that makes me hard to understand. People will shake their head at me and say, “You’re not from Florida.”) was surprised to find Alabama Hills at the eastern slope of the Sierrra Nevada Mountains. Alabama Hills in California? In case you were wondering like I wondered, the Alabama […]
My garden is blooming in a rainbow of colors. Join me…I want to share with you what I saw and learned. Brown eyed Susans stand in rigid bouquets. Tiny white blooms cascade from the wheelbarrow that Wayne made me from leftover log siding. Yellow and fuchsia colored mums compete with pink and yellow roses are […]
It was so hot– even in the shade. I still had a long distance to walk when I noticed the sign, “Springhouse Well.” I hadn’t seen an artesian well for years; maybe since my childhood. The sign reminded me of a visit to my aunt’s house in rural Alabama. My dad had taken me to […]
