For so many years I wondered why the Roman soldiers used rolled up thorns to make a crown to place on the head of Jesus. (John 14) Thorns? Why not sticks, or rope? I totally understand that thorns would hurt and cause some bleeding, which I know was their goal. Yet, as a tender-headed girl, … Continue reading Crown of Thorns Completes The Job

Learning From The Plagues of Exodus
For many years I didn’t give much thought to the plagues found in Exodus. My thinking bent toward “that was then, this is now”. But then the Lord led me to use the plagues in my first book One Way Out. So, I became more familiar with them. Before getting a deeper look at the … Continue reading Learning From The Plagues of Exodus
The Christmas Miracle
Each year we celebrate the birth of Jesus. God becoming a human. Born to a virgin. Both of these statements are important but do we truly comprehend the miracle? (Title - Creation) Before we talk about these points let's look at the universe first. It is said to be 92 billion light-years across. The Milky … Continue reading The Christmas Miracle
Secret Holy Armor
The other day as I spoke the armor of God verses in Ephesians 6:10-18, I realized when accepting Jesus as Savior that these parts of the armor come with the territory of belief. Our faith sees the truth of Jesus and The Word of God, which allows His blood to cover us for salvation. Thus, … Continue reading Secret Holy Armor
What Does It Mean to Worship?

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.

What About Barabbas?
During Holy Week I was privileged to participate in my church's "Journey To The Cross". There were many rooms that the visitors strolled through as they experienced Jesus's path from the upper room to His resurrection. On the last night I volunteered, I was in the room displaying the trial at Pilate's palace. Between groups … Continue reading What About Barabbas?
Are You a Frog?
I think in some ways I am like a frog. Sometimes I can see obvious switches happening and know I need to keep an eye on things. However, small changes occurring over time are harder for me. You may wonder. What does a frog have to do with changes? Well, many years ago I heard … Continue reading Are You a Frog?
Such A Time As This
I got the title for this post from a saying extracted from the book of Esther. Her uncle asked her to approach the king - her husband - in order to save her people. The action could have ended in her death... but it didn't. And her people survived. After hearing this phrase at a … Continue reading Such A Time As This
