Have you ever had someone plot against you? Did they go through with it? Maybe it was something as simple as playing a practical joke, or as complex as misrepresenting you and eventually causing harm to you and/or your family. Maybe a spouse left you for someone else, or you were cheated out of a promotion; it could even be that someone you care about speaks horribly of you for no real reason at all. Maybe you played along and {Read More}
Growing up I had two posters that hung prevalently in my room. Oddly enough they weren’t of my teen idol crush, Shaun Cassidy, or of a favorite TV show or movie. They had nothing to do with pop culture at all. The posters clearly displayed Scriptures, and both were my first memory verses, and perhaps the only true memory verses that I have recalled and spoken over my life time and time again. Certainly there are other verses that I {Read More}
“Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And yet not one of them is forgotten or uncared for in the presence of God. But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not be struck with fear or seized with alarm; you are of greater worth than many flocks of sparrows.” (Luke 12:6-7, AMP) This verse is all about perspective. How often do you really pay attention to the birds? On occasion I listen to them {Read More}
Each morning, I get up and pretty much have the same, steady routine throughout my day. I do the same things in the same order, and must admit that I probably don’t really think about the commonality of my day much at all. The only time I become alarmed, is when something is off-kilter. During my time of getting ready each morning, I have prayer and venting sessions with God. I must admit, at times my family must think me {Read More}
Last night I had the privilege of watching the 2009 Dove Awards with my family. It was a fun evening, watching artists and songs we love receive nods for their talents and courage to step out in the Christian music scene. This was the first year that fans were able to vote for several of the categories, which made the evening even more exciting. A few short weeks ago, my kids were able to cast their votes for another award {Read More}
“So don’t be afraid: I’m with you. I’ll round up all your scattered children; pull them in from east and west. I’ll send orders north and south: ‘Send them back. Return my sons from distant lands, my daughters from faraway places. I want them back, every last one who bears my name, every man, woman, and child Whom I created for my glory, yes, personally formed and made each one.’” (Isaiah 43:5-7, MSG) This is a verse of encouragement for {Read More}
The season is over. Easter, Lent, and Passover have passed. It has been a strange season for me, as I struggle with my father’s terminal illness, and reminisce with friends and loved ones who have also experienced loss this season. It is strange how we view death. We, as humans consider it to be the end of something. Death symbolizes loss and grief, and we look back on what we have had, or what we have missed during that persons’ {Read More}
GOD IS our Refuge and Strength [mighty and impenetrable to temptation], a very present and well-proved help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change and though the mountains be shaken into the midst of the seas, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling and tumult. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! (Psalm 46:1-3, AMP) This passage sparks so many memories to me. Off the top of my head I can {Read More}
Waiting in the doctor’s office, I flipped the pages of a magazine and came upon an article that caught my eye. The article was about a young boy who always found himself in the midst of trouble, and yearned for superhero powers. At the age of ten, the young boy in this article constantly found himself being grounded for another misstep in his behavior. One day in school, his teacher announces that she will confiscate any game card decks that {Read More}
When I was little, I remember being in Sunday school, and having golden cut out keys everywhere. On the key were the words, “Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you.” I believe I was taught this principle (the Golden Rule) before any of the other things I learned about God. Don’t be mean to that little girl, do unto others… Don’t hit him, do unto others… I can hear the words echoing in my head over {Read More}
