Water, Water, Everywhere
There’s something about water that makes me either sigh or cry. And sometimes it is both. I looked up water in the Blue Letter Bible app and it says that “water’ occurs in 409 verses. That is a good number of times. With the recent events in our country, water seems to have a power…
The Big Pause
What makes you “give a big pause”? What if I told you there’s a word that appears in the Bible seventy-four times, would it give you pause? I recently started looking for a decorative something to hang on my wall in my kitchen. I was thinking a word maybe two from scripture. Went to Etsy…
Disaster
When faced with a trial (storm), how do you handle it? Think of the recent storms and all the evidence you have seen, now picture it was you in all that mess. How would you handle it? Cry and give up? Step up and start the work? Give God some credit? I recently went to…
Anxiety that leads to Rejoice
I am facing surgery on Tuesday (tomorrow) for my neck. I found out last week I would be having surgery. It is amazing what the mind thinks when anxiety flares… I started a poem…”If I meet Jesus Tuesday…” Not sure I can finish it, but I started it to work out some of the anxiety…

Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day is a day to honor your Mom, Mother, Mommy, Momma. It is a day to say thanks for giving me life and I love you. I am not a fan of this day. Not because of my Mother, but because of the focus of being a Mother. For the motherless children, it is…
Reflection
When you look in the mirror what do you see? What happens when you walk away from that reflection? Do you study the reflection to remember every detail of your face? While studying James, one verse had me thinking and discussing a few things. James 1:23 “For if you listen to the word and don’t…
How does Hate Start? Where does Hate come from?
Hate is such a strong word. Let’s try discrimination on for size. Does it fit nicely or is there room to grow? We all watch the news and see story after story about one race discriminating against another, some to the point of death. We scratch our heads and wonder how we got here. Allow…
