“I will meditate on your precepts and fix my eyes on your ways.” Psalm 119:15 (ESV) I’ve always been active, so even when the aches and pains of exercise and sports began to gain momentum (along with my age), I continued to live in an ‘injury crisis mode’ instead of adopting an ‘injury prevention plan.’ […]

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) Our lives are filled with periods of transition. Some life changes are easy and even joyful as we welcome a new baby […]

“Ask, and you will receive; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.” Matthew 7:7 (GNT) I was wrestling with indecision about the vision and scope of my writing; so much so that I couldn’t shake the thoughts from my mind. I described my frustration in an email reply […]

“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (NIV) I’m not a superstitious person.

Spiritual Warfare – A.D. 2013
March 10, 2014 · by ·
“Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.” 1 Corinthians 16:13 (NIV) Be on your guard! I thought about the relevancy of those words as it relates to our military men and women. Tours of duty often put loved ones in dangerous conditions for weeks or months at a time; […]
FREE Stuff….To A Good Home

Guest Writer: K. Schwartz I find myself trusting Jesus for a brand new kind of ‘save’ today! God has rescued me many times in my 26 year walk, but I think I’m in new territory today. My husband and I are officially in the empty-nest phase of life. Problem is, our nest is as […]
