My mind is always full. It’s too full and sometimes I can’t even navigate it. My mind is full of a lot of good things and a lot of fear and nonsense. I need someone who sits in there and reads each thought and either sends it to the trash or posts it up in…
Each year across the world, we gather together on Good Friday to remember the sacrifice – the choice, Jesus made for each one of us. It’s a special day, a somber day, but a day that would set the grand stage for what God was to reveal. As I ponder the disciples, the ones left…
All the rain we’ve had this season is additional evidence that this is a planting season in my soul. You know, April showers bring May flowers, right? God is planting. He’s busy speaking into the Spring of my soul. I need to be still and listen. It needs to sink into my heart. Why is…
God has a way of getting our attention to connect with Him. Recently, Revelation, Chapter Four has come up three times. The first time was when I was studying about angels.

Four children, a two story home with a brick front, a large yard, 5 bedrooms, a spacious master bedroom and a luxurious spa-like bathroom… was what I had always dreamed of. Throughout the years, I’ve been blessed to acquire some of what I fantasized about, although I’m still working on the spa-like bathroom:) Ahhh…
If you’ve ever been in a formal training setting, chances are you have joined in on ice-breaker activities. One of my favorite ice-breakers is where each person is given a blank index card and a pen. They are asked to write down two truths and one lie about themselves. During introduction time they state their…
I have always prided myself in being a genuine person. I have supported that notion of myself with the fact that I am a “simple” person. I do not love to shop. I am not one to love fine clothes or meals. I would not describe myself as extravagant in nature. I’m not one who…
