“The Bible is meant to be lived.” I never heard that statement in my upbringing as a church-goer christian. But after I went through teenage rebellion, returned to Jesus, and surrendered to Him as Lord, I came up with that statement. I believe it was from the Holy Spirit. I spoke it often. I thoughtContinue reading “The Bible is meant to be Lived!”

The Power of Life and Death
This weekend I was in awe of some teammates who were so aptly able to express themselves verbally and clearly communicate complicated concepts so they could be understood. Yes, I watched and listened in amazement! So often when I attempt to communicate, the words won’t come and I begin at the middle when explaining andContinue reading “The Power of Life and Death”
What’s Your Worldview?
What’s your worldview? I’ve been reading about this in an assigned book so I’m asking us all: What’s Your worldview? World view? You ask, “What’s a worldview?” What is your worldview? My worldview is a Biblical worldview. By that I mean that all the elements just described and the philosophy and conception of the worldContinue reading “What’s Your Worldview?”
On Being a Kind Friend
It’s that Christmas season of the year again! The season where we celebrate God’s extreme kindness to us by sending Jesus into the world to be our Savior. He came as a helpless baby, born into a poor family, and birthed in a humble barn setting. And God’s kindness and gift of His Son toContinue reading “On Being a Kind Friend”
Thankfulness is not always Worship
I love going to Mexico for a vacation. We’ve been so many times to the same place–it’s like ‘going to the family cabin’ as far as comfortableness and ease. When I’m there I try to speak Spanish. Ha! No hablo espanol! But I do know the word “gracias”. (Thank you!) Everyone is so helpful andContinue reading “Thankfulness is not always Worship”
Free To Be Me!
I’m sitting in our church service worship time singing my heart out and the worship leader speaks, “We are free!” I’m clapping with everyone and thanking the Lord for being free! Yay! I am free! Then a few days later during my devotions I sense the Lord saying, “This is a free day!” I hadContinue reading “Free To Be Me!”
Whatchoo Lookin At?
This week God has been talking to me about “over-focus”. I am a focus person and I can tune in to a project and the world retreats. I won’t even hear someone talking to me. It’s not that I’m ignoring them, I’m just able to concentrate deeply. Are you like that at all? So thisContinue reading “Whatchoo Lookin At?”
Time to Plant seeds
This week we had some glorious Pacific Northwest weather! There is nothing like the PNW in sunshine in Spring! I have a walking partner, a neighbor and we talk gardening most mornings when we walk. She has motivated me to start seeds outside earlier this year than I have ever done before–and I’ve lived hereContinue reading “Time to Plant seeds”
Eight Things I Learned from my Cat!
What do you think of cats? Cats are a big deal at my house. When I was a child my dad said I couldn’t have animals because hair on his suits was a problem. I was so sad. He relented when I was a little older and brought home two stray kittens left at his workplace.Continue reading “Eight Things I Learned from my Cat!”
Prepare for Worship?
What’s your favorite worship song? My latest favorite is posted at the end of this blog. It is so interesting that we think of worship as a song!? I’ve always been on the worship team at almost every church I have been involved with. (So have my three kids.) Of course in my Baptist church longContinue reading “Prepare for Worship?”
