Have you discovered Jamie Grace? If you listen to K-LOVE, then you’ve heard this great song. We downloaded it from iTunes soon after hearing it. What a great pick-up! So sit back and enjoy the reminder of how much your Father loves you!
Willing to Plead?
Saturday night our church had a prayer meeting — in response to the Response held in Houston at Reliant Stadium. As we were sitting there worshiping and praying, I kept thinking about Abraham and God in Genesis 18. Yes, things are bad. We’ve got an economic crisis, a cultural crisis, wars, terrorism, natural disasters. We need God in an absolutely …
Starting School Woes
We started school Monday. Because I attend a conference in September, I like to get a few extra days under our belt. I also love the added flexibility the head start gives us. The morning went great! I am talking homeschool hall of fame awesome. We have this down! Bring me your questions because I have it all together. Then …
Called? or Career?
I’m chuckling. Really. Right now I’m listening to a lecture from A History of Freedom from the Teaching Company. I’d been thinking about what to write about. Since I’ve turned in my last-for-now contracted book, I’m back to wondering what God has for me next. Writing? Is it a calling? Is it a career? Then the professor, Rufus Fears, starts …
Joshua Thoughts: Take 1
I’m starting a study I’ve prayed about for awhile. I keep coming back to a need to understand Joshua and what made him so different from the rest of Israel. I’ll probably study Caleb, too, for the same reason. How could 12 men with the same experiences have such vastly different responses? I think about the people of Israel. Didn’t …
Fully Engaged: how to do less and BE more
Don’t you love the title of this book? I seriously considered not participating in this blog tour because anyone who knows me knows I am ABYSMAL at being. Instead I move on do, do, do, and squeeze in a bit more doing. Just the other night I mentioned to my husband that I’d probably work less if I had one …
Running Free: a lesson from Jessie
My family has a dog. Kind of an over-grown, but oh-so-skinny mutt. We selected her at a shelter four days after our other dog was killed. Mason was the wonder dog with one weakness — bunnies. Jessie is a patient dog with one weakness — freedom. We don’t have a fence — though we keep saying we’re going to add …
Resurrection Celebration!
So after finding the video from Dallas, I stumbled on this one in Budapest. I remember visiting Heroes’ Square in 1994 when I spent five days in this amazing city shortly after graduating from college. When you think of the history of Budapest since the rise of Hitler, it is AMAZING to think people can freely celebrate their Savior, faith, …
People of the Lord Rise UP!!!
I saw this video on Facebook, the purveyor of culture (tongue in cheek!). There are a couple of things I love about it as we celebrate Easter this week. It captures the joy of people who understand what it means that Jesus of Nazareth not only died for us but that He rose again. It conveys such a sense of …
Are You God’s Friend?
After spending time last week with dear friends, I’ve been thinking about what makes those friendships so special. It had been years since we’d spent time together, but with each couple we picked up like it had been days rather than years. There’s that shared sense of history. We’d done and lived through a lot together. We share common interests. …
