I can't help but think of those "trick" bottles, Lord. The ones we tilt and pour, thinking the liquid has all been poured out. But when the bottle is righted again, the liquid level seems to refill to the same level. In a way, I'm feeling like that tonight... except that it is no trick. And when You...
Computers are our friends... right, Lord? At least, that's what I tell myself over and over whenever I run into a technology problem. Like today. I have learned the hard way that the wisest course of action is usually to call Tech Support. I have even been known to pay an annual fee to make sure...
Lord, Your timing never ceases to amaze me! By Your grace, Lord, I had the precious opportunity this past weekend to minister to some pastors' wives as part of the women's conference in New York. Just yesterday, I was talking with a dear sister-in-Christ who brought up the needs of pastors and their wives. "So...
I used to keep my calendar and contacts the "old fashioned" way. Paper and pencil or pen. Little post-its that were forever migrating to who-knows-where. Like the socks that keep disappearing in the dryer. Then I took a giant "leap" into the 21st Century! (It only took me about 12 years to take my first...
I LOVE secrets, Lord! Tonight, it's for my Honey. Today is his birthday -- one of those special milestones that make you think about the past and The Future. Like in football. The strategy for the Last Quarter can make or break The Game. I'm taking my Honey out to dinner tonight. He doesn't know...
As I entered into Your Presence this morning, Lord -- consciously, deliberately, joyfully, expectantly -- You immediately brought a song to my mind: "How Great Thou Art." So I played it. "When I, in awesome wonder, consider all the worlds Thy hands have made... I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder... Thy power...
I was "high" on You yesterday, Lord. But I am higher still today!!! This morning, we "scoped out" our friends' cottage some thirty minutes away from our RV campground. An isolated cottage in a vast pine forest... on a beautiful lake, down a driveway one kilometer long. If silence could be "deafening," we would both...
A long, long day. A long, long drive -- 463 miles! Now that we are here, in Canada, the trailer park's WiFi is as tired as we are. Almost no signal... and I'm sitting in our truck, in the dark. To get as close as I can to WiFi Central. So I must be brief....
I looked outside the trailer this morning as we began our fellowship together, Lord. My first sight led to my first thought. EVERGREEN. A beautiful, tall evergreen tree, with its lowest boughs spreading out some 30 feet in diameter. Like a huge Christmas tree, right next to our trailer. So like You, Lord -- ever...
I almost didn't say anything. I didn't know her very well. I had seen her a few times, but our conversations had remained near the surface. The general sharing done between newly-introduced people. Work Family. Fun. You had burdened my heart for her all week. I prayed and prayed and prayed, for her and for...
