We Are Anchors

Hebrews 6.19

Remove the Mask I read a beautiful post this morning on a friend’s blog; a post from a woman who suffered a great depression due to many life-changes within a one-year period. It was a wide-open post – the writer left nothing out! She exposed herself! As I left a comment I found myself typing these… [Read More]

Meet Flo

Meet Flo But as He went, the multitudes thronged Him. 43 Now a woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any, 44 came from behind and touched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped. 45 And Jesus said, “Who touched Me?” When… [Read More]

Quietude: December 10, 2017

December 10, 2017 by admin 2 Comments

  The quiet hour of prayer is one of the most favorable opportunities He has in which to speak to us seriously. In quietude and solitude before the face of God our souls can hear better than at any other time. O.Hallesby When He gives quietness, who then can make trouble? Job 34.29 On Sonday’s… [Read More]

Are You Dusty?

October 18, 2017 by admin 34 Comments

We have a new pastor, Tim. He is younger than my youngest child. He is married to Theresa (my mom’s name), they have five children, and the eldest is a writer (which kind of thrills me). Pastor Tim is sharp – I like him a lot. His leadership is going to be very good for… [Read More]

A Faith Blogger’s Disclaimer

May 24, 2017 by admin 76 Comments

This was not supposed to be today’s post. I’ve had Wednesday’s, May 24th post penciled in my planner for three weeks. It’s a hard one to write and I know I’m supposed to write it because it was confirmed, first-hand, at the Dollar General this past Saturday morning. However, the Spirit of God dropped this… [Read More]

can we talk?

June 24, 2015 by admin 34 Comments

Last week a tragic, senseless, murderous crime was committed in a Charleston, SC church. Believers were gathered for Bible study and prayer when nine were gunned down and killed. How do we even begin to process such a crime? As Christians our first response, after perhaps a few, “Why Lord, why?” should be to bow… [Read More]

the 21

February 17, 2015 by admin 16 Comments

When I close my eyes or stare out the window on this snowy day, I see them. Orange jumpsuits kneeling on the shore. Black-masked men standing behind them. I see beautiful faces of sons, brothers, fathers, husbands, boyfriends, uncles, cousins, nephews. And, each one reflects that one word Holy Spirit whispered to me many years… [Read More]

There’s been a lot of talk about being brave. In fact, Annie Downs just released a book called Let’s All Be Brave: Living Life With Everything You Have.  This past week I was at my daughter’s – she had surgery on the 19th and I was blessed to be able to go and run the household… [Read More]

Kate said permission. Wow! What a word. I think I Kate said permission.

Wow! What a word. I think I will go “there.” That proverbial place one doesn’t like to venture. THERE.
But, I have permission!

God or man?

Then they called them in again and commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the Name of Jesus. 19 But Peter and John replied, “Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen to you, or to Him? You be the judges! 20 As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.” Acts 4(NIV)

As a believer AND a follower of Christ – who grants me permission to do anything? With great discernment and faith, I trust my good, good Father to allow me or to withdraw me.

He Is My Guide

I will not listen to a government I do not trust. My peace comes from heavenly places and it gives me permission to say no to certain things. I follow man’s law regarding speed limits. I pay taxes. I don’t steal. But when it comes to my body?

The Temple of Holy Spirit?

I ask permission of Father. When He says yes or no I listen to His every word and reason.
Who gives you permission?
