The Blame Game
It’s been happening ever since we heard about Adam and Eve. Eve blamed the serpent for eating the fruit she was forbidden to eat, Adam blamed Eve and the serpent and so it begins. But, did you notice what happened to Eve? How about Adam? Did Adam get away with what Eve “made” him do? …

His Grace Covers
I love my mother, but I can’t say I always like my mother. Now I could go into the thousand little things that rub me the wrong way about her, but we’re taught as Christians for our words to uplift not tear down. On the flip side, I”m sure I have the propensity to rub…

In God’s image
Would you just look at that giant fat face? School pictures were not a favorite thing of mine. I dreaded that day and it seems I was never disappointed with the “face” that would stare back at me. It was like the photographer knew just when to click the camera that would capture the worst…

“Jonesing” for Jesus
There are several definitions of the word “jonesing” per the urban dictionary. In this case I chose the following definitions; “the act of needing something badly, usually related to chemical dependency and exhibiting a strong craving or desire for something eaten, imbibed, or taken as a drug; comes from the opiate culture.” Now, I have…

Over on the Proverbs 31 site, we are having our weekly blog hop day for our current On-line Bible Study…A Confident Heart, by Renee Swope.

I have always loved to write. Looking back over the course of my life, I see the stories I would start and then leave hanging. At the time I would write, I would, most times be overwhelmed by what was going on in my life. I couldn’t or maybe I wouldn’t have ever told people…

The “Perfect” House
Well….here I am God, humbly coming before you and praying for this house I want to rent because it’s just “perfect” for what I need. So, ok, it’s already got a washer/dryer and I love my washer/dryer, but I can part with those. There’s no fireplace, but that’s ok….maybe someday down the road. It’s an…

Ditch Diving
After living in Alaska for 20 years, I can say that driving on the ice covered, snowy roads could be extremely treacherous. The Dept of Transportation did their best to keep up with snow removal but sometimes I think the slick plowed roads were worse than the snowy covered roads prior to plowing. Worse still,…

Life Interrupted
Being new in my faith, I can’t say as I always “get” what God is trying to tell me. I can read His Word and listen to Worship music, tap my feet and sing till someone tells me to stop because I’m told, someone else is on the radio for a reason. I can go…

#SayWhat
I was sitting in the craft room at my computer no doubt doing something of no real value when I felt this nudge….“confess.” In my head I said “I’m sorry, #saywhat?” I looked around the room as if someone were there whispering from the hallway. Nothing. So, I shook my head and went back to…
