Tomorrow -- November 20, 2017 -- this blog will change radically. It will still be all about Jesus, but... well, I hope you will tune in again tomorrow to discover the new Monday-Wednesday-Friday format. But today is Sunday, which calls for a different kind of post. Because Sunday is a Sabbath day. A day for...
I didn't know the answer to that question for more than half of my life. I was terminally broken. And the pain of it all was almost more than I could bear. Almost. I came to very brink of life. That place where I believed I could kill my pain by killing myself. I didn't...
It's been awhile since I have posted here. I've been spending most of my time posting online encouragements to my Book Launch Team for Victory in The Valley. I have also been praying about the ways the Lord is leading me to transform my future postings here. I'm EXCITED about His plan! More on all...
Part 1 of this post recounts that famous motto, "Fake it until you make it." And the spiritual seeking of one son who has become embroiled in a cult... transforming him into someone his own family doesn't recognize. His voice and his countenance have changed... as if he has become a different person. What does...
You have been speaking to me a lot about Victory, Lord. Inviting me to believe that Victory is possible in every Valley... even if the Valley doesn't change. Thanks to You, Lord... only You. Is that why You had me write Victory in The Valley? Is that also why I am troubled by what I've heard many...
Wow, Lord... A lot can happen in seven seconds. It's a very short time, but it can make ALL the difference. I found that out the other day when we were riding our bikes along beautiful Bohannon Road. Eleven miles, just over one hour... with lots of shade and no traffic at all. My first...
Of course it did, Lord. It had to be the BP station... because it was a Blessing that was Providential... Beautiful + Powerful! :) We had stopped there to fill up our gas can. Our car tank was full, but our lawnmower was thirsty. My Honey asked me to go inside with our only cash...
Tears come in all "shapes" and sizes... don't they, Lord? At least the ones I have cried. The ones You had me describe, in the precious book You blessed me to write: "Sometimes our Valleys are such that crying is not just inevitable, it is altogether fitting and appropriate. To deny our Grief Tears and...
We returned to Virginia from Florida late in the day on July 4th. We had emptied my mother-in-law's house, after its unexpected contract for sale came just twelve hours after the house went on the market. She had been gone for six years. We had memorialized my sister-in-law's life, after her unexpected passing. She had...
I love the tag line AT&T came up with years ago, touting the benefits of the telephone in connecting loved ones separated by long distances: "It's the next best thing to being there." I guess for us, Lord, that tag line refers to prayer... right? Without a landline or cell phone in sight. Without a Facebook...
