My Kind Of Yellow!

Lord, Lord, Lord…  Sometimes that’s all I can say. LORD. And that is enough.  No… it is more than enough. I have been struggling lately.  Not choosing well.  Letting down my guard.  Letting my flesh and the enemy have their way with me. I drew another Line In The Sand today.  I have drawn such

May I Have This Dance?

She is dancing… with abandon! Twirling around, with both arms extended outward.  Her head thrown back, looking up with joyful exuberance! She is dressed in blue.  Wearing a dress with a full skirt — the kind that swirls outward with every spin. She is a picture of Joy, Lord!  She is a picture of Freedom! Is she also a

In the Blink of An Eye

Sometimes, like now, it rains outside.  Puddles of water form on the thick pavers of our backyard patio.  Pavers thick enough to support a 3-ton truck. Sometimes, like now, it rains inside.  And I am the puddle.  Because the water is falling from my eyes, in tears drawn out of a well of Gratitude and Joy.

Beyond the Veil

What is REAL, Lord? What we see, hear, smell, taste and/or touch with our physical senses?  What we discern — and experience — in our spirits? Or are they both part of The Whole? Last night, I moved between the two… seemingly without effort.  Except that I was very aware of how full each moment

Kitchen “Kollege”

You teach me about Life, Lord, in the most unlikely places. Your “higher education” can — and does — happen anywhere. Tonight, it was in my kitchen.  I had loaded our dishwasher after dinner and reached for the Cascade.  The powdered kind. The box was almost empty.  Not enough for a load.  But I had

Light My Fire!!!

How You ENCOURAGED me today, Lord!!! Encourage, as in giving me Support, Confidence and Hope! Hearten!  Cheer!  Uplift! Inspire!  Motivate!  Stir! Stimulate!  Invigorate!  Vitalize! Revitalize!  Embolden!  Fortify! Yep, that about sums it up, Lord.  You did all this for me… and more! HOW??? By speaking much Truth to me… and helping me walk in that Truth! Small steps,

Upside-Down Wisdom

I have heard a particular saying a lot lately.  It is widely accepted in our culture as a “truism” — a statement that is obviously true. “No good deed goes unpunished.” How does anyone get so cynical, Lord, that they believe this is “obviously true”?  Who started this saying?  And how did it become so ingrained in

The Measure of a Man

How do You do it, Lord? So persistently… day in and day out?  With such unfailing, unwavering faithfulness? How do You orchestrate our steps in such complex and precise ways… so that we cannot miss how clearly You are speaking to us? Like a fresh cup of coffee, today’s post was “brewing” in me even

Rise and Shine!

I “thought” my heart to You today, Lord. “Abba, I love You!” These were the first words in my heart as I lay in the predawn darkness this morning. What a mouthful!  But my heart’s desire was for something more. “May I crawl into Your lap, Abba?  May I cuddle with You?  I want to

Another “Goosebump” Day!

I just love how You work, Lord!!! This morning, I listened to a short but powerful audio message.  It was a simple, yet profound, five-minute teaching by Pastor Dave of Restoring the Foundations Ministries. Thirty free audio presentations seeking to reinforce how we (Your people) can walk in freedom, victorious over the enemy’s interference. Today was
