Listen To Me!

May 12, 2022 Listen To Me! When I was growing up, I often wondered if anyone was listening to me. Granted, I was very quiet and extremely shy. For my part, I could have been more outgoing and spoke up more often. However, my voice was not the same as everyone else’s voice. My family […]
The Wind Blew!

May 5, 2022 The Wind Blew! As I walked to First Church a couple of weeks ago, the wind was blowing into my face at 30 miles per hour. It seemed like almost all of the month of April was filled with 30 plus mile per hour winds. Day after day after day the wind […]

April 28, 2022 Worries! I am an optimistic person who is focused on the goodness of God’s future for me and the people I lead. Where others quickly experience anxiety and fear and worry, I see new opportunities, new possibilities, new ways. I don’t worry a lot unless it seems like the way I am […]

April 21, 2022 Birthdays! It is my birthday today. But, please do not send cards or give me bags of Peanut M & M’s! Time flies when you are passionately living into God’s purpose for your life. Yes, I am older. But, I am still passionate about serving Jesus and living into God’s purpose for […]
A Simple Meal!

April 14, 2022 A Simple Meal! I don’t need an extravagant meal when I get together with friends. Oh, I know how to use two spoons, three forks, two knives, a finger bowl, and a cloth napkin. I know it is not proper to start eating until the host/hostess has taken their seat and makes […]
Important Symbols!

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 […]
