During a season of greatest trial, I had a choice - hold on to a grudge against all who caused the trial and hardship OR forgive. I realized if I didn't forgive there would always be something walled up around me that would stop God's light from shining through me. I didn't, and still don't, … Continue reading Light in the Darkness
Rose Colored Glasses
As I took my morning walk the other week I noticed leaves had change color overnight. I also noticed a few trees whose leaves previously had some color were now in the last stage before losing all foliage. I was impressed and perplexed. Then my non-prescription sunglasses slipped down my nose and the true colors … Continue reading Rose Colored Glasses
Warning. Warning.
I first heard the above phrase when I was I child watching Lost In Space. From what I remember, the family's robot couldn't tell them specifically what was going to happen, but it could tell danger was imminent. I did an internet search for modern day prophets and the AI report resulted in no prophets … Continue reading Warning. Warning.

I didn't. In an effort to delay the inevitable I told each family member we would ask God … Continue reading Finding The Perfect Dog
Learning From Taco
No, the title shouldn't say a taco. Our latest adopted rescue dog chose Taco as his name. Who would have thought? It does reflect him in many ways. He has a spicy bark that crawls up my spine at times. Like a Mexican jumping bean he loves to pop up and bark at any one … Continue reading Learning From Taco

Disappointments – Back When and Right Now
Let's be real. Disappointments are a real bummer. They can leave us with the feeling of having our feet pulled out from under us. Like we've been shot into outer space with no place to land our feet solidly. No matter what the situation is, I've found there is a pattern to experiencing this sensation. … Continue reading Disappointments – Back When and Right Now
What Is A Spiritual Famine?
The other morning I was reading and praying through Ezekiel 36 when The Lord opened my eyes to a new understanding. The famine mentioned in those verses can be seen as a spiritual famine as well. You may be thinking, "Say what?" Up until this revelation I was like anyone else. Reading the chapter and … Continue reading What Is A Spiritual Famine?
