Today, Good Grief!
Grieving people are close to my heart, as I have been there. When my husband passed away many years ago, I was 33 years old with 2 children, 10 and 6. After the shock wore off, grief set in. The pain was intense, overwhelming, and paralyzing. I had brain fog and confusion, and I couldn’t…

Today, Wise Counsel!
Today, I am asking for input and counsel from my viewers. I started this blog as an experiment through a church program to see if writing was a charism of mine. I was encouraged by my group to do a blog. I really need your feedback. Is what I am writing helping you in your…

Today, Times of Crisis!
Crisis befalls everyone during their lifetime. No one is immune from it. Sometimes God allows a crisis in our life to bring us closer to Him. Sadly, some will turn away completely from God, blaming God. God does not cause the crisis, but He can allow it. In times of trouble and fear, we need…

Today, God’s Perfect Timing!
In Psalm 139:13-16 we discover that God formed our inward parts and knit us together in our mother’s womb. We were born in God’s perfect timing. We are here at this time for a reason. God’s perception of time is vastly different from our own, His timing is always perfect. Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, “For everything,…

The second is that mercy is available to everyone who repents. Third, God never leaves us. Fourth, God provides strength for the weary. Fifth,…

Today, True Grit!
I snuggled under my couch blanket on Saturday night, trying to find a good movie to watch. I happened upon Tyson’s Run. This movie was very loosely inspired by a true story, but not based on one. Tyson was a 15-year-old autistic high-functioning boy who wanted to run in a 26-mile marathon to make his…

Today, Our Attitude!
I have found it extremely difficult to maintain a positive attitude during difficult times in my life. Yet, we are called to share God’s love and light throughout the world. Many times, I needed help to be positive. A loving God directed me to the Book of Psalms. There I found the comfort of a…

Today, the Prodigal!
Many Christian parents have struggled with the fact that their child or children have turned away from God. It’s heartbreaking to see them leave their faith when we, as parents, know how important faith in God is. Yet, how can we help them find their way back? Love them, accept them where they are, and…

Today, The Gray Zone!
Many Christians today live in the gray zone. They are lukewarm Christians—not hot or cold. Their passion to know Christ has waned and they no longer make an effort to grow spiritually. Perhaps they feel distant from God and have fallen away from healthy Christian habits. Whatever the reason, being lukewarm is not a good…

Today, Rebellion!
Rebellion against God grieves the spirit and hardens the heart. It angers God. Jesus didn’t die for your sins so you could live in rebellion and spit on God’s grace. People in rebellion always try to explain things away and reject the truth. God will discipline any child of God who starts rebelling and bring…
