Blue Parakeets and Skeletons in the Closet

It is fascinating to watch God weave the events of our lives so that “coincidences” pop up all over the place. Mind you, I don’t believe in coincidences because, in my mind, our omnipresent Creator already knows every thought before we think it and every action before we move. You know what I am going to say even before I say it, Lord . You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head. I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence! If I go up to … Continue reading Blue Parakeets and Skeletons in the Closet

Whatever seems right in their eyes

My brother called me today and asked why it’s been over three weeks since my last blog.  I actually did write a blog last week but ended up deleting it.  I’ve been having some pain (sometimes severe) in my left hand which makes typing undesirable.  But my daily Bible readings have given me endless ideas on scriptures I need to write about.  Hopefully my hand pain will subside soon so that I can write more often again. Last night I dreamed about idols.  Not the American singers, but the kind that people used to make and worship.  It’s not really … Continue reading Whatever seems right in their eyes

Like a sheep

This handsome fella was at the zoo we visited when my daughter was not quite 2 years old. This section was the petting zoo, and we were given the “opportunity” to step inside and mingle with the livestock. To this day, I have a tremendous fear of goats. All because of him. The Eater. The zoo staff gave each person a map of the zoo. Imagine my consternation when The Eater walked boldly towards us. I didn’t like the gleam in his eye, so I snatched my daughter up to hold her away from that beast. He just kept coming … Continue reading Like a sheep

Taking pictures with my heart

Understand, therefore, that the Lord your God is indeed God. He is the faithful God who keeps his covenant for a thousand generations and lavishes his unfailing love on those who love him and obey his commands. — From Deuteronomy 7 This week I have begun using a terrific application on my iphone. I downloaded YouVersion way back when I first got my phone, but I never realized the functionality of it until this week. My new favorite feature is the “Daily Reading” option located at the bottom of the home screen. One touch of the screen, and bam! I’ve … Continue reading Taking pictures with my heart

Feeling Pressed? You’re On The Right Road!

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” -Jesus, as quoted in Matthew 7 My interest in educating my daughter at home began when she was only a toddler. I bought a couple of books about homeschooling and thought I would give it a try. It wasn’t long, though, before it became clear that my very bright only child turned social butterfly needed a social … Continue reading Feeling Pressed? You’re On The Right Road!
