Prayer is talking to God. Just that simple. The power of prayer is not knowing about it…it’s in doing it! God still answers prayer…but do we still pray. Jesus taught His disciples, “when you pray” not if you pray. Prayer connects believers with God and the resources of heaven. What a privilege we have to pray.
Prayer is a responsibility and a privilege. But is it really a priority? How do you make or keep it a priority? I am so thankful to be a child of God. Belonging to God’s family means that I have the privilege of coming boldly into God’s presence. I can open my heart and share […]
It’s interesting, (that’s a kind word for it) to take a walk with me, but will you walk with me. I have something important to share with you. I’m sorta like the little boy in Bil Keane’s “Family Circus” comic strip. I have a hard time staying focused on one thing. Everything intrigues me! I’m […]
They were on skateboards… little guys…two of them one was maybe 8 and the other looked to be about 6 years old. It looked like they were mostly talking… but it was where they choose to have their conversation that annoyed me… They were jawing right in the middle of the road. I was in […]
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 […]
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 […]
I had a blast! It was an amazing conference on so many levels. Even though I taught 4 workshops, I left energized and wishing it could last a little longer. I’ve got a list of “I Had A Blast” things that have happened to me lately. I think you’ll be hearing about them in upcoming […]
Where do you turn when you are discouraged? Where do go when circumstances pile in on you? What do you do when your son/daughter is rebellious–seriously rebellious? Where do you look when your marriage is in trouble? What do you do when your baby has a fever and is throwing up and nothing seems to […]
Zany! Bright! Funny! Tasteless? Seems to be the criteria for proper attire for the “Let’s Make a Deal” show. Contestants are there to win the prize. And that means you gotta play the game…and that means you gotta get chosen. First to be in the audience and secondly to play the game and hopefully you […]
She only lived three blocks away. We lived at house number 308 and she lived at 415, straight down the dirt road, beside the church I had attended my whole life. I thought I was grown, but I was probably 7 years old. You can imagine how long ago that was. I bring that up […]
There are some things that just should never happen–NEVER! And Diane Daniel, my laughing friend, brings a few of them into focus for us as only Diane can do. 1. You should never take your cat to a dog show… 2. You should never wear a t-shirt with the words “Worlds #1 Terrorist” to the […]
