You were so right, Lord. It’s amazing how You empower us to be Your witnesses! “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1:8) Maybe that’s why I love …
As You well know, Lord, we’ve been having Internet problems lately. Something — or someone? — gobbling up our monthly gigabytes at an “ungobly” pace. (Misspelling intended!) 🙂 Preventing us from accessing the websites we use the most… including this one! After HOURS on the phone with our service provider — on three separate occasions …
Most power plays are short-sighted… aren’t they, Lord? They deal with the Here and Now. The Me Above All. The Take Control At All Costs. Maybe “short-sighted” isn’t the right term at all. Maybe “blind” is better suited. Deny The Truth. Shore Up The Defenses. Divide and Conquer The Reason-able. What a lonely — and …
Oh, Lord… You know better than anyone how I have been struggling with my Internet since I started to draft yesterday’s post! I had only just begun when I saw a message “Connection lost.” I haven’t been able to access it since!!! After HOURS on the phone with my Internet Service Provider and web designer, …
Our Love Fest this morning began when I first opened my eyes. You were so close, Lord. How could I not say “I love You” even before I said “Good Morning”? “My Beloved spoke and said to me, ‘Arise, My darling, My beautiful one, come with Me.’” (Song of Songs 2:10) We went outside. On …
I know all of Your Promises are true, Lord… even when I don’t yet have proof. Because You are Truth. You never lie. Even so, I do love those times when it seems like You go out of Your way to provide Evidence!!! Like today. When our Internet started moving like molasses. At first, it was …
There’s no “magic” to numbers… is there, Lord?. But You have made certain numbers special to me. Like Numbe 13. The number many people fear. As if there is some malevolent power attached to it. But for me, Lord — thanks to You — it is a number of awesome BLESSING! Like today: September 13. The Day I …
Marks that cannot be removed. Marks that cannot be forgotten. Indelible. That’s what 9/11 — September 11 — is for me, Lord. Perhaps for all of us who were alive That Day fifteen years ago. Alive and touched in ways that cannot be untouched. That Day when our nation was attacked as never before. When …
I couldn’t believe my eyes, Lord! Actually, I could. I had to. Because what I saw was unmistakable! I just couldn’t imagine how what I saw had come to be. I had walked out our back door, heading for my car. But a familiar, oh-so-subtle “heart prompting” stopped me in my tracks. So I would …
A young man I know is struggling. Against his will, he was uprooted. Taken far away from the only place he has ever called Home. Far away from his lifelong Friends. And the teenage Dreams he thought were about to come true. He has entered into a strange new life like an actor. Suddenly immersed in …
