My dad only went to 8th grade in public education in Wales. Yet his remembrance was not of shame but “he was good at math”. His teachers all praised him for that. My husband went through two years university physics/math courses–he understood mathematics. My kids never balked at math courses. Me? I always got ‘A’Continue reading “More About Prayer”

Coffee Parables!
Jesus taught the people in parables. That’s what the gospels say. My dear husband has taken that to heart and he teaches his weekly coffee clatch guys in parables, well, he calls them ‘metaphors’. Life lessons, based on God’s Word, that relate to daily happenings. I shared part one of his Mr. Coffee Bean onContinue reading “Coffee Parables!”
Joy? or JOY!
I just finished texting with some friends who got an answer to prayer! It was a wild, wonderfully complete answer to all of our prayers! We gasped in awe of God’s kindness! We shouted hallelujahs!

Generational Curses
A few weeks ago I had a dream where the given topic seemed ‘out of the blue’. I hadn’t been thinking about this or concerned. But a few days ago, the dream all of a sudden make perfect sense!

That is definitely what has to happen with Valentine’s Day, February 14!! I love the picture of this poisonous frog because the historic roots of Valentine’s Day seem to be rather toxic.Continue reading “Love! (keep warm with sweaters)”

Of course our favorite Bible character is JESUS!! There’s no competition! Jesus humbled Himself, was born as a human, grew up and did miracles, taught the people, died on the cross for the sins of the world, came alive and went up into Heaven. And He will return the same way He came! In theContinue reading “Who is your favorite Bible character?”
The Espresso Machine
A few years ago we had a horrendous event happen on our property. It was chilling! I would like to share this story with you. May God be glorified. About 10:30pm while almost falling asleep, I heard a huge, loud, low pitched bang. I abruptly sat up in bed and then jumped to the openContinue reading “The Espresso Machine”
Poetry or Plain Talk?
I was listening to a sermon. It was on Genesis chapter one. The preacher said for us to remember that Genesis chapter one is poetry. I was a shocked! Why? If you are a consistent reader of my blog, you will remember that God has been teaching me about Hebrew poetry. I’m still in theContinue reading “Poetry or Plain Talk?”
Performance Orientation
What do you think of when you hear the words, performance orientation? Did you know that there is an evil spirit whose specific job is to promote performance orientation and perfectionism in whatever person it is assigned to? It works in tandem with a critical spirit. I have been harassed by that evil spirit especiallyContinue reading “Performance Orientation”
