What does dreaming have to do with deliverance? Maybe nothing. Maybe everything. Last night, I dreamed about Andrew Walker -- the popular Hallmark movie star. Hallmark - "The Heart of TV." No surprise there. I saw him last night, in a new movie that aired for the first time. What surprised me was our encounter. He...
What single women doesn't catch her breath when the man of her dreams -- the real man, the love of her life -- pulls a small velvet box out of his pocket in a super-romantic moment? :) Actually, diamonds aren't (like that old slogan said), "A girl's best friend." Her real best friend is the...
Can anyone of movie-going age honestly say they were not the least bit intrigued by the premise of Jurassic Park, Lord? That dinosaurs could be brought back to life to interact with humans today? Intrigued, maybe... but not eager. Perish the thought! :( :) Certainly makes a thrilling (and lucrative) storyline, though... Amen? I'll never...
If ever there was a time for higher ground, the time is NOW. We've had way too much rain in the last week. As much as 5 inches in as many hours. We're in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Meaning the rain at higher elevations combines with our own. Which produces... FLOODING!!! Like...
For me, time had stopped. Or at least, my watch had. I went to the jewelry department in Sears. I didn't even know Sears had a jewelry department. I had gone there for a different reason altogether. But I also needed a watch battery. The sales associate helping me raved about their jeweler. So there...
They aren't famous. I had never even met them before. So why did I grab my camera during our communion service this morning and snap their picture? Because You told me to, Lord. It was one of those Urgent Opportunities. A Photo of A Lifetime. Here one moment, gone the next. So I didn't waste...
I remember this encounter with You, Lord, like it was yesterday. It started with my simple, "Hello! How are you?" The flight attendant as I entered the plane returned her friendly greeting. I went to my seat in the main cabin and we soon took off. Sometime later, another flight attendant came by with food. Before...
My optometrist is a dear Forever Brother. I met him years ago when You, Lord, moved him and his partner to mobilize comprehensive eye care for the uninsured, needy patients we serve at Samaritan's Touch Care Center. The Christ-centered medical facility You miraculously raised up out of nothing in our impoverished rural county. I have...
It wasn't The Night Before Christmas. I wasn't all snug in my bed. It was a cold April morning... and the sun was sky high. Or was it The Son? :) Sky high, indeed! I did have Visions, though. Maybe not of Sugar Plums, per se... but of Sweet Treats all the same. Treats from You,...
It was one of those Crossroads Moments. When Your Cross, Lord, rose up in the middle of the road. Making Your Presence unmistakable. Except this time, the Crossroads Moment happened in a Dream. Someone else's Dream. A Dream that was, simultaneously, my Answer to Prayer. One of those ordinary moments that suddenly turned Extraordinary. In...
