Teach Me To Number My Days

October 11, 2017 by admin 44 Comments

It’s that time of year I get pensive, inward, quiet, reflective, meditative, and a bit disgruntled… Years ago this was my favorite week of the year – my happy birthday week – but when the five’s became sixes I didn’t like it so much! My friend, the man I work for, and I were talking… [Read More]

July 23, 2017 by admin 5 Comments

Photo Credit: Will Wilson I grew up in South Florida and water was an enormous presence in our world. We went to the beach. We went deep sea fishing. We sat on the inlet walls fishing for sheep-head. We had picnic suppers at the end of hot days. We walked the pier. We hunted shells…. [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: COMFORT

July 14, 2017 by admin 20 Comments

Last night I dropped in on Kate Motaung and the Five Minute Friday Twitter party to say hello. I didn’t stay but a moment – by scanning the screen I could see that Kate was traveling as well as several others. There were a few new names, although I didn’t stick around to introduce myself…. [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: Blessing

June 30, 2017 by admin 24 Comments

No Five Minute Friday party for me last night but I did dream about Kate Motaung and Kristin Hill Taylor — and we were actually discussing FMF – does that count? We were talking about bringing something back and Kristin and I looked at Kate and at the same exact time we said, “Return.” But,… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: WORTH

June 16, 2017 by admin 18 Comments

Finally, I made it to a Five Minute Friday Twitter party – the app on my Kindle was cooperating and I almost kept up with all the posting! Several new faces. Several regulars. And, some missing in action! Summer plans were talked about and general information shared. One of our FMF faithful community members is… [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?
