I don't know his name. I wouldn't recognize his face. Most likely, I won't see him again this side of Heaven. But I will see him again... won't I, Lord? He's my Brother. It's amazing what we can pick up when our ears are "on hold." When we don't have sounds to distract us or divert...
Sometimes, my brain takes a walk on The Wild Side... doesn't it, Lord? It's just because I'm following You, right?! I'm so thankful You have a great sense of humor! :) Like the Unlikely Encounters You lead me into... in the most Unlikely Places. Yesterday's Case in Point... I saw them on the 14th tee....
Above all... LIVE!!! "In the beginning was The Word, and The Word was with God and The Word was God... In Him was Life, and that Life was the Light of all mankind." Live deliciously! Live expectantly! Live courageously! Live fearlessly! Live passionately! Live purposefully! Live intentionally! Live exceptionally! Live abundantly! Live uncommonly! Live transparently!...
We were talking to a doctor friend of ours. By Your Grace, Lord, he has saved more than one life in our family. He looks way younger than his chronological years. He smiles from the inside out. That's what he said when we noted how terrific he looks. "I love my job!" He doesn't just...
Things will be better when... If only I could... I can't wait until... I'll finally be happy when... I won't stop until... Living in The Almost. The Not Yet. The What If. Reaching for the Out There Somewhere. Living for Tomorrow. Missing Today. "This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be...
What do 450 miles, one lightning bolt and a credit card approval for $6,619.00 have in common? They are all highlights --or lowlights -- in our trip south today. The GOOD News is... We're halfway to Florida. Falling asleep at 6:30 PM. Dinner already settled in our tummies. Trying to stay up late enough so we...
We were on the phone, calling to make a future hotel reservation. At one of our favorite stopovers. Nothing fancy, just convenient... and pet friendly. :) We were about to book our reservation when we asked what we thought was a straightforward question: "How much is the room?" Our mouths dropped open in shock. A 50% increase...
I don't remember the last time I was so tired, Lord. We returned from the Bahamas today at mid-afternoon. I rushed home and scurried around with a fair amount of house cleaning and bed making for beloved extended family members arriving today for a reunion. Several problems needing immediate attention. A leaking air conditioner, generating...
Lord! How can I be so connected to You and so disconnected from the world??? Last night, I traveled to a more remote island -- Current Island -- with no Internet. But it had those who were the very reason we are here in the Bahamas: The children of Zion's Children's Home. It has been...
The day has finally arrived! I spent today traveling from Virginia to Florida. Tomorrow, I board a charter plane for the Bahamas. For the next eight days we will be ministering at Your pleasure, Lord... to the 200 children You are now assembling. I can hardly wait! :) Tonight, our team of 41 came...
