Sucking Pure Oxygen!

I had to look it up, Lord!  I had to know the beneficial effects of Hyberbaric Oxygen Chamber Therapy (HBOT). The list of benefits is impressive (or, rather, the claims of benefits I read on Internet sites).  🙂   According to those sites, for example: 1.  HBOT greatly increases the oxygen concentration in all body tissues,

Shout from the Roofs!

That’s the beauty of a platform… isn’t it, Lord?  Whatever is said is heard be a lot of people. I guess that’s why You gave Your people the following command: “What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs.”  (Matthew 10:27) Pro golfer

Walking in Freedom — Part Two

Yesterday’s post was about one of the “Life Lessons” You taught me during my recent birthday:  There are always Choices and Consequences. Today’s post is about the particular Scripture You used as a loving “2 x 4” to help get Your point across.  🙂 Why this Scripture, Lord?  Is it because it speaks to the heart of why

Walking in Freedom – Part One

One Choice At A Time.  That’s where freedom is found… isn’t it, Lord?  Because that’s where Life happens.  Not in decades or years or days or even hours.  Life happens in moments — moments of choice. “I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses.  Now choose life, so that you and your

Fearless Transparency

You know how much I love birthdays, Lord!  And You know why. Birthdays are a celebration of Your precious Gift of Life!  I didn’t always feel that way.  Some years, it was all I could do to “hold on” and make it through to the next one.  I certainly didn’t feel like celebrating. You changed all

The Large and Small of LIFE

“How many are Your works, Lord!  In wisdom You made them all; the earth is full of Your creatures… living things both large and small.”  (Psalm 104:24,25b) We got home last night.  Safe and sound, all by Your grace.  And what a greeting You had prepared for us, Lord! After unloading the car, I was

Heart of My Heart

I didn’t plan to go there.  I normally don’t frequent Arts & Crafts shows.  But this day was different… wasn’t it, Lord? I was there with friends.  We had all wandered off in different directions.  Suddenly, one friend called me over to a particular booth. He knows how much I love You, Lord.  When I

A Cup of Love… Supersized!

Yes, Lord… You have filled my cup to overflowing with Your Love in the past 24 hours!  Even against all odds! I love the mountains we were in last night, Lord… even though we were miles from home, in a place with no cell phone signal, no landline and no Internet! It was end of a

Auto-struck to Awe-struck… !!!

Six hours on the road.  Over 400 miles behind us.  At least 75 miles to go, at speeds ranging from 55 to 70 miles per hour. Suddenly… BAM!!! An explosion near the right front bumper!  It was the tire.  Smoke pouring forth as we maintained control of the car while slowing down and pulling off the

God’s Voice Mail

I hadn’t talked with him in months. I have almost learned not to call.  Whenever I do, it seems, he isn’t there.  Whenever I leave a voicemail message, he doesn’t call back. But today?  I had one of those “heart promptings” I knew was from You, Lord:  “Call him.” So I did. “Whether you turn
