God, Our Ultimate Silversmith
Malachi 3:3 ‘And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness.’ A refiner of silver… that’s very interesting. I ran across this verse and analogy today and…

Our Shelter from the Storm
I love going to church on Sundays. It really does restore my soul. Not just being able to worship our Savior, but being around the amazing people that attend that church gives me just the replenishment I need to get me through the week. This past Sunday, a trio of ladies sang a special. It…

The Heartbeat of Our Faith
Hebrews 10:22 ~ ‘Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.’ If you’ve followed me at all, you know that John and I like to participate in 5ks. I’ve often joked that it’s a miracle…

Thank God for the Fleas!
Psalm 34:1 ~’I will bless the Lord at all times, His praise shall continually be in my mouth.’ Do you know what I was doing this morning? I was sitting in the stillness of my home, next to the love of my life, reading my Bible. (I have a thing for Bibles, but that’s another…

Feeling a Shift
Romans 15:13 – ‘Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost’ I have been big fan of all things Halloween for as long as I can remember. When John and I lived in Washington, we had…

Find Your Joy
Have you ever felt just… blah? Not really depressed, but not joyful either. I’ve been lax in my writing lately for a couple of weeks now because I’ve been experiencing some of that recently. Life sure gets tedious sometimes, doesn’t it? Money issues, health issues, relationship issues, work issues, etc., all gets to be too…

Refining Your Focus
Matthew 5:16 – ‘Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.’ We have a limited, self-centered view of the world, don’t we? Especially when we get into trouble, we become hyper-focused on ourselves. What do we tend to do when we…

Run Your Own Race – Part 3
I love the energy of a 5k race. Everyone is there for the same purpose. They’re encouraging and supportive of everyone from all walks of life. From the extremely fit, veteran runner to the beginner like me who’s just hoping and praying to finish. The anticipation and excitement from everyone as we line up to…
