Life balance – now there’s a gold mine of a topic, isn’t it? It seems everyone is pursuing it and yet few people claim it. And even if they have a time of claiming what they think of as life balance, it is fleeting. But here is a bizarre thought for you – what if […]

A Time for Everything
Scripture tells us that there is a time for everything – a time to live and a time to die; to rejoice and to cry, etc. I love the idea that there is a time for things. I especially find it comforting now as things are so disruptive in our country. Some people seem to […]
Incredible Potential
If I’ve said it once I’ve said it a million times, we are filled with incredible potential but it is up to us to tap into it. Opportunities come and go, but if we don’t take action and give it our best, rarely do we move forward. This morning as I was reading, an idea […]

Support Our Police
We Support Our Police – a message I don’t see or hear too often – not that I don’t see it at all, rather than I can’t see it enough! Much like We Support Our Troops or God Bless America, patriotism, loyalty and respect is vitally important. Especially in this day and time! Think about […]
True Courage
I’ve been thinking a lot about courage lately. What is true courage? Perhaps part of it is being brave and part of it is stepping out in faith. But I think there is so much more to it then I have been giving it credit. When I think of courage, it usually involves my doing […]
Halfway There
We’re halfway there – halfway through 2020 and halfway to 2021! This has been quite the year, hasn’t it? How have you weathered it? Be honest, now. Has it been overwhelming, disheartening, a weight in your heart and life? Or has it been a time of realizations? An opportunity to rally and not let circumstances […]
Inconvenience Sparks Creativity
Inconvenience sparks creativity – that’s what I have been reminding myself ever since things began shutting down with Covid-19. Much like getting a cold is never convenient, shutting down, staying home, and shifting all our habits and schedules was not convenient. Something as petty as running by the store to pick up milk suddenly became […]
A Job Well Done
“Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and won’t need to compare yourself to anyone else. For we are each responsible for our own conduct.” -Galations 6:4-5 These verses were mentioned to me earlier today and I couldn’t help but think about how […]
Personal Responsibility
The media has been especially noisy lately, hasn’t it? Blaming some and pitying others. But instead of discuss that, I thought we should talk about something that we, as individual people, can do about it: practice Personal Responsibility. Personal Responsibility would seem to be a lost art. It teaches that we are responsible, or accountable, […]
When the Time is Right
“When the time is right, I, the Lord, will make it happen.” This verse literally stopped me in my tracks. So many projects and plans in the works, and several of them halted due to things outside my control. As frustrating as the inconveniences can be, I do my best to see them as blessings, […]
