April 7, 2022 Important Symbols! When I see a cream colored capital “N” on a scarlet background, I am reminded of the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers. When I see a “Black Bowtie” on the grill of a vehicle, I am reminded of the Chevrolet car company. When I see “Stars And Strips” on a flag, […]
Burdened!

March 31, 2022 Burdened! I was overwhelmed. I was tired of trying. I was sure defeat was just around the corner. The weight bearing down on my heart and mind and soul were causing me to be stooped over. My head was hung low with the load I was carrying. I was burdened with a […]
Dishonored!

March 24, 2022 Dishonored! I was taking the high road to love and serve Jesus when out of nowhere a friend betrayed me. The betrayal was very difficult for many reasons. The betrayal was totally unexpected, it was malicious, and it was pre-meditated! But, what was even more devastating was the person continued over and […]
Sabotaged!

March 17, 2022 Sabotaged! I have a friend who is always sabotaging themselves. Sometimes it is pride that undoes them. Other times it is greed that undoes them. Still other times, it is envy that undoes them. Self-sabotage is a sad thing to watch. Bridges are burnt in relationships with family and friends. Holy Spirit […]
Shamed!

March 10, 2022 Shamed! Shame is one of the reasons most of us remain shackled in the past. Shame is what causes us to hesitate to step into the next amazing thing to which Jesus is leading us. Shame is what leaves us seeing ourselves as worthless. King David is an example of someone who […]
Pressured!

March 3, 2022 Pressured! I felt pressured. Deep inside I knew I did not want to do what I was being asked. But, the pressure was unrelenting. I was told I was stupid if I did not do it. I was told I was letting fear take over if I did not do it. I […]
Shift!

February 24, 2022 Shift! One of our first responses to change is to convince ourselves our best days are behind us. We are not quite so sure the Holy Spirit is ready to use us. We are no quite so optimistic that our best moments are just around the corner. Rather than embrace the shift, […]
Confusion!

February 17, 2022 Confusion! I am hoping for this direction but I am still committed to that direction. I pray and ask the Holy Spirit for some guidance. I make lists of the positives and negatives of each choice. I consult with trusted friends to gain perspective. But, there is no definitive answer. I wonder […]
Change!

February 10, 2022 Changes! I enjoy the adventure of meeting new people, visiting new places, and trying new things. Yes, it takes energy but the reward is love and joy. The cost of change opens the door to the rewards of love and joy. Change is part of life. I appreciate the way in which […]
Healing!

February 3, 2022 Healing! As I continued to suffer through the discomfort and discouragement of a several-week-long illness, I began to wonder if Jesus would heal me. I know that Jesus heals all kinds of things; our attitudes, our broken hearts, and even our sin. And, every day I pray for healing for people I […]
