Always Sowing… !

I had almost decided I would not raise my hand. I was surrounded by people seeking breakthroughs — for themselves and the clients they serve.  Most are looking for answers and solutions from everywhere and everyone they can.  Up to a point, that is. Few, if any, are looking to You, Lord.  It’s a New Age,

Fare Well

Oh, Lord… Friendship is a beautiful Gift. We said “Goodbye” tonight to the many snowbirds who live around our lake.  Or rather, “Farewell.”  Hoping they will “fare well” as they return to their northern homes until next winter, when they “fly” south yet again. I felt like crying. Was it because we spent the evening laughing

From Snarling to Snoozing!

What a picture, Lord… a picture of YOU! Skippy was inside our screened-in lanai.  It was late.  Dark outside.  I had opened the door to bring her in for the night. That’s when I heard the snarling. A feral cat was outside the screened enclosure, just three feet away.  Skippy was on the inside.  Both cats were frozen in

Clawing for Attention

When Skippy (our precious kitty) wakes up and wants attention, she starts clawing and ripping up objects she knows will get our attention. Costly objects like area rugs and furniture.  Funny how she can wake me up out of dead sleep. This morning, she woke me up at 4:00 AM. Or so I thought. I

In Search of Bigger Containers?!

What container is big enough, Lord? Certainly not my body! I’ve been ready to “jump out of my skin” all day long.  Because my body is too small for the JOY I feel inside! “… yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.”  (Habakkuk 3:18) At one point

Can We Date, Lord?

Yesterday, I was anticipating my “movie date” with You, Lord.  Watching “The Passion of the Christ.”  My annual tradition since the DVD first came out many years ago. Last night, the anticipation became Reality.  And today… I am not the same. How can I witness the horror of Your suffering, Lord, and not be changed?

Prophetic Leaf Blowers?!

Sand hill cranes. I hadn’t thought about them in a long time.  Until this morning… after our precious time with You, Lord.  Intercessors who gathered in Your Presence on this Good Good Friday. What a sweet time with You, Lord!  We listened as You whispered.  We spoke to You in words too small to honor The Moment.  At

The Darkness Before the Dawn

I can hardly wait for tomorrow, Lord. Tomorrow… Good Friday.  And my annual tradition — my own private viewing of “The Passion.”  The movie produced years ago by Mel Gibson. It shakes me to the core every time I see it. I want it to shake me.  I need it to shake me.  To remind

Looking Back… Leaping Forward!

Planes don’t have rear view mirrors. But people should never be without them. Today is the place where LIFE happens… isn’t it, Lord?  It’s where we are in any given moment.  The NOW. Today can also be a place where we get stuck.  Where we camp out… veg out… hide out. Maybe it’s from uncertainty.  Often, it’s fatigue.  Way too

Missing One Miracle!

I have been “gearing up” for Comet Sightings this week. The last time a comet came this close to Earth was 250 years ago.  That’s one such “celestial event” in many lifetimes.  For You, Lord, that would be four such events in one day! “With the Lord a day is like a thousand years and
