HEART OF GOLD
Create in me a pure heart O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Psalm 51:10 This scripture has been an anchor for me most of my life. Almost like a homing device when I’ve felt my heart begin to wander. It is also the first scripture our oldest...

THE GOLDEN TICKET
You’ve been given a Golden Ticket. And it may be to a destination you have never considered going. But I urge you to take a look at the itinerary. We will make a few stops...as well as an extended stay in a territory called FORGIVENESS. But eventually we...

OUT OF THE BLUE
Out of the blue: from an unexpected or unseen source; at a completely unexpected time We have all had situations hit us ‘out of the blue’! Some are pleasant like getting a bonus or a promotion we didn’t see coming. Maybe some as thrilling as attending a...

STEALING THE LIMELIGHT
“They exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.” Romans 1:25 Are you into idol worshiping? I bet most of us would immediately answer that question with a resounding...

Black and White Checkered Flag
“The unfolding of Your Word gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.”
Psalm 119:130
There is nothing like seeing God’s Word leap off the pages of your Bible! I love when I read a passage and it immediately touches my heart. But many times when I’m studying, I’ll read a scripture and it just doesn’t come alive for me. I’ll find myself thinking, “Ok, I understand what it’s saying, but what does it mean?” I know…that statement is an oxymoron. But it can be true at times!! Right? ….

White Knuckled
It’s pouring down rain outside this afternoon. I’m snuggled under a warm red blanket with an equally warm beverage in reach. Once I got settled and comfy, I opened my laptop and began to ask the Lord to tender my heart to whoever might hear from Him when reading this post. With my eyes closed, I envisioned myself sitting …

Rose Colored Glasses
Rose-colored glasses: An optimistic perception of something; a positive opinion; seeing something in a positive way, often thinking of it as better than it actually is; or a cheerful or optimistic view of things, usually without valid basis
All of us have heard the term “rose-colored glasses”. It usually describes someone who looks at a situation and sees it in a better light than what it actually is. Maybe even as they wish or hope it to be. The world sometimes labels such an individual as someone who isn’t in touch with reality.
