We’ve all heard it. Some of us have said it. The company I work for banks on it. Inventors are looking for it. It… The BOX. Think outside the box! Think outside the box! Be innovative! Throw the envelope away! Innovate! Innovate! Innovate! Several weeks ago we were in Statesville and walked to our daughter’s… [Read More]

A Faith Blogger’s Disclaimer
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?
I know my friend Kitty will love this image – she has a thing about clotheslines!

Thank you, again, Eugene Peterson. I just finished 1 Samuel and as you get to the last ten or so chapters, about David hiding from king Saul who… [Read More]

February 2016, a short month but nevertheless a learning month! Linking up with Emily P. Freeman, here we go… Lesson #1. Add sports to the topics not to be discussed on Facebook. i.e. the poor sportsmanship of certain Super Bowl players. #Iwasputinmyplace. Lesson #2. I am glad I was not chosen to be Moses. Exodus,… [Read More]
the heartbreak of God
As you know I get all kinds of excited when Holy Spirit reveals thoughts and truths to me. Such a moment came Sonday morning in worship. We have to go way back to the beginning…as in Genesis. The Word is clear that God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit were present… [Read More]
