It Takes Courage to Wait

1602) I think one of the most difficult challenges to our faith is having to wait. We wait for medical information. We patiently await the Lord’s answer to our prayers. We are waiting for guidance that seems to be taking its time. We wait for God’s provision, which can come in unexpected forms. We wait

You Can Be Faithful and Still Be Confused

1601) The end of the year 2023 has been difficult in my home. We’ve had the death of my father, utility poles broken (the power lines damaged twice), a generator die, three teeth needing crowns, Covid for the second time, serious health issues, cars breaking down and more. My husband and I have sat together

If It’s Easy, It Won’t Last

1600) As I read Proverbs 20:6, two men come to mind. Let’s look at the verse first. It says (ESV) Many a man proclaims his own steadfast love, but a faithful man who can find? The first man who comes to mind is marketing specialist, Seth Godin. The circle of my writing career overlaps Seth’s.

A Valuable Skill

1599) We are living in times when you really don’t need to know how to do many things. Often, skilled laborers are only knowledgeable about doing one specific thing.

Watch for Vulnerabilities

1598) There are times in our lives when circumstances leave us vulnerable. It may be a death, a violent act or even a misplaced loyalty that becomes suddenly obvious. When someone is in any of these places or others like them, it is very difficult to see those who may try to take advantage of

1597) For those of you who are animal lovers, you know the time of “picking out” the kitten or puppy from the litter is an important one. The two times I have picked out a puppy, I distinctly wanted a specific color and sex of the animal. I also wanted to be sure my “pick”

It’s the Small Things

1596) Usually when we hear the phrase, “It’s the small things that matter,” we are thinking of the little actions or words that push us forward in a kind-hearted spirit.

Anger is like Velcro

1595) Do you know anyone who has a problem with anger? Has it been you, at certain times of your life? Anger isn’t generally considered very “Christian” but, actually, anger in and of itself isn’t the slippery slope to Hades. Instead, it can be the catalyst for standing up for the underdog or spurring you

When You Doubt God’s Word

1594) There are times when I read verses like 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 when I have frowned and seriously doubted they are true. What do I mean? Well, according to the verse, we, as God’s children, experience affliction but we are not crushed. We feel perplexed, but we are not driven to despair. Even though we

Stay Away

1593) There are people whom you get along well with. Why? Maybe because you hold similar jobs, values and ideas? It is nice to talk with people who are on our same wavelength. It can be beneficial, too. There is one type of person who we need to stay away from. In Proverbs 20:19, we’re
