The Problem With Dead Things
Posted on July 14, 2020 Leave a Comment
(This is a rewrite of an old post I wrote on another blog, but still relevant) I once knew someone who used to carry a corpse around with her. Everywhere she went people would say, “Ew! What is that smell?” “What smell? I don’t smell anything.” She would answer, as she sprayed perfume into the […]
Celebrating My First Book Release
Posted on June 8, 2020 1 Comment
Join with me on my happy dance. After years of writing, shelfing, re-writing, and shelfing, and rewriting… my book has finally been published! I am thrilled! My prayer is that my story speaks to the heart of the reader and brings healing to those who have been wounded by rejection. Although my story is fiction, […]
If I could change One Thing…

If you could go back in time and change one thing, have one do-over, what would it be? Have you ever wondered? I had several answers when I first thought about this question. My mind quickly recalled times when I said yes when I should have said no, or said no when I should have […]
Beauty for Ashes

Shame does something to a person. It produces a judgement of guilt and unrelenting condemnation. Shame distorts a person. It suffocates the future and feeds on regret. The showering of fear hinders growth and stifles a person from becoming who they were created to be. When I think of people in the Bible who overcame […]
Me, JJ, & Jesus

The best gift I ever received is JJ; my little four legged buddy. He was just a puppy, barely able to climb a curve, when he moved into our hearts. He is three years old now; I think that is 21 in dog years. I was never really a fan of small dogs; […]
Your Will or His Will

God came down to us as a man, tempted in every way we are tempted, experienced every emotion we experience, and yet He was without sin. He sent His only Son, Jesus, to restore us back to Him. Jesus, fully man, fully God; Emmanuel, God with us. Think about that. Let that sink in, please. […]
What Do You See?

What do you see when you look at this picture? You are probably seeing David and Goliath. You know, the shepherd boy who slew the giant with a stone and a slingshot and the decapitated him with his own sword. Oh yes, the young David who had faith to believe. The young David who grew […]
Lily of the Valley

I am sitting at my laptop and wanting to write a post to inspire and encourage. You ever have those moments where your thoughts are being so consumed with the love of God and you want to share it? Such love can not be contained. I can not put my thoughts into a single coherent […]
Who is God the Father to you?

If I ask you, who is God the Father to you, you may have different answers and may even find it easy to answer. But, if I ask you who are you to God the Father, I think, maybe, we would hear some crickets. We see the greatness of God, we read His Word and […]
Under Fire

“Cover me! I am going in!” “Go! I got your back!” This is the beauty of relationship. For this reason, relationships are important, to watch over each other and cover each other. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. When one is weak, then the other stands up and covers them with their strength. Two are better […]
