Wow, Lord… I could finish that sentence in so many ways! For the many things I have done and been over a lifetime that were missteps. Whenever I was off track. And so much worse. “Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not His benefits — who forgives all your sins and heals all your …
My God who Amazes me! The moon is full. Lighting tonight’s clear sky like a Beacon in the darkness. “Lord, the God of Israel, there is no God like You in heaven above or on earth below…” (1 Kings 8:23) My God who Adopts me! Our “pack” is back together tonight. Our adopted “pup cat” — Skippy …
Ahhh… What could be more delicious, Lord?! I came to this two-day meeting expectant. Wanting — needing — a dose of En-COURAGE-ment. I got a cupFULL, Beloved… and chugged it down! “Whoever is thirsty, come to Me and drink. Whoever believes in Me, as Scripture has said, rivers of Living Water will flow from within …
Lord, Lord, Lord… I’m STOKED! WIRED! Bouncing off the ceiling! JOY-FULL! Adrenaline PUMPING! Still??? My presentation on Gratitude was HOURS ago! And it was ALL YOU, Lord!!! WOW! Then came home. Shifted gears. Now preparing for two-day business meeting. Starts TOMORROW! Another presentation to make. Counsel to give. Counsel to receive. And I NEED SOME …
It’s 10:30 PM, Lord. Time to call it A Day. And what A Day it has been! Back home in Florida. Truck only partially unpacked. Need my sleep tonight.

Here we go again, Lord… Packing up to head south — back Home — for the next seven months. We always know it’s coming. We set the departure date weeks in advance. So how do we always end up running around like chickens without our heads??? 🙂 Or, at least, I do. Maybe because …
All ten were… Untouchable. Unacceptable. Incurable. Incapable. Outlawed. Outcast. Desperate. Determined. “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!” (Luke 17:13) You, Lord… Heard. Heeded. Helped. Healed! “When He saw them, He said, ‘Go, show yourselves to the priests.’ And as they went, they were cleansed.” (Luke 17:14) All ten were… Wide-eyed! Welcomed! Joyfully healed… in body. Obediently …
When is it OK, Lord, to choose the “lesser of two evils”? Does it depend on the circumstances? Or is it never really OK? What’s the “right” answer? If we define our problem, can we hope to find a solution? “Evil = Profound immorality, wickedness, & depravity, especially when regarded as a supernatural force.” “Immorality = Not conforming to …
When did the world get so upside down, Lord? So… all turned inside out? “When the woman saw…and ate…and also gave some to her husband… and he ate…” (Genesis 3:6) OK, so it started way back then. But is it my imagination, Lord… or is it actually getting worse? When did Right become Wrong? And Wrong …
Sometimes, Lord, You leave me speechless. Like when You weave a tapestry together — a masterpiece — with the words You give us to share with others who need words from You.
