Some people have Responsibility and Authority. Some have one, but lack the other… and are not too happy about it. As a career businesswoman, I have been on both sides of this equation… as a team member and a leader. And I have learned A LOT in the School of Hard Knocks! 🙂 I have …
Ahhhh… We just got the hot tub up and running again after being away from it for five months! As you know, Lord, our motivation for getting it was strictly therapeutic. I had, by Your Grace, survived a spectacular auto accident back in 1987. An accident that could have — and would have — killed …
Probabilities are fascinating to figure out. Like the probability that one toss of one die will result in a particular number. A die has six sides, so the probability of “tossing” any particular number is one in six or 1/6. Simple… right, Lord? Add another die and things get more complicated in a hurry! Like the …
What’s the “kilowatt” power of a testimony about one of Your servants, Lord? How could such a testimony fail to light up the whole world??? It’s about You, after all! “When Jesus spoke again to the people, He said, ‘I am the Light of the World. Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness, but will have the …
What could be better than hearing words of blessing directly from Your lips, Lord? One day, we will hear them… not just read them. For now, thank You for the gift of Your Words, Lord… that we may know Your heart! “Come, you who are blessed by My Father; take your inheritance, the Kingdom prepared …
By Your grace, Lord, I fell in love with Spanish when I was in the seventh grade. I had no previous experience with it. I didn’t know anyone who spoke it. I only knew I had chosen to take it in school. Why? Because studying a foreign language was a school requirement. Only two options …
I never thought I would see the day. Or the night, that is. That I would be considering 8:47 as my bedtime??? But when I think about getting up early to be with You, Lord, my perspective totally changes. How could I possibly trade off that priceless time with You??? Maybe I should go to …
A doctor friend of mind introduced me to another fitness tool just yesterday. A free app for my smart phone called “Runtastic.” And it is… FANTASTIC!!! And FUNTASTIC, too! Or, in my case — since I’m bicycling instead of running — I guess it should be called “BIKETASTIC”! 🙂 I downloaded the app after talking …
I couldn’t arm wrestle my way out of a paper bag. Thankfully, I’m bigger than a paper bag… so I wouldn’t ever have to! 🙂 Get it, Abba? 🙂 All kidding aside, though… [please!]… 🙂 Is that why You have been filling my thoughts lately with the idea of “bench pressing?” …
I can hardly wait to meet John! Oops… You’re right, Lord. That very statement begs the question: “Which one?” At that precise moment, I was meaning John the Baptist. But I could also say, “Yes and Amen!” about meeting John, son of Zebedee… who wrote (under the inspiration of Your Holy Spirit) two books in …
