The Chameleon Principle

everfaith

The sermon this past Sunday was part of a continuing series about friendships. In particular, we learned about going forth into the world (see yesterday’s blog) to show love to all people…especially to unbelievers. A chameleon changes its appearance to blend in with its surroundings. When we lived in Florida, I got a pretty up close and personal with lots of skin-color-changing critters! In his intense efforts to help people be saved, the early church leader Paul oftentimes changed the appearance of who he was so that others would be saved. Just as a chameleon with changed skin is still … Continue reading The Chameleon Principle

The Landscape of My Heart

everfaith

It’s been a tough couple of days. I have never been more thankful than I am today that the Lord is with me. If you could see the landscape of my heart WITHOUT the Lord, you’d see a surface similar to the moon – colorless, dusty, thirsty, barren. You’d see a waterfall sans water, a rainbow without color, a flower without petals, a butterfly without wings. I want to share with you how the God of all comfort is providing comfort to me while Jon, Cadi and my mother-in-law are traipsing around London. FamilyYesterday I was invited to attend my … Continue reading The Landscape of My Heart

A Clean Slate

everfaith

A few times a week I have Cadi help me clean up the dog toys. The other day she had the great idea to stick Lacee in the basket with the toys! Now that is REALLY cleaning up! Yes, I do have a “toy box” for the dogs. What does that say about me??? Isn’t there something beautiful about a house that is clean? Or, if you’re like me, even having one clean spot to rest my eyes on is like a breeze to my spirit. Since we’ve been living in Texas we have been so blessed to have a … Continue reading A Clean Slate

Cleaning

everfaith

Today was a very busy day as I prepared for my sweet mother-in-law’s arrival. We picked her up from the airport this afternoon. Tomorrow she, Jon, and Cadi leave for London. I am feeling blue tonight…not because they are leaving, but because I haven’t the COURAGE to go with them. I have just a moment to blog, so I thought I’d find some verses that deal with cleaning since that’s what I’ve been doing all day! (I wish I had these memorized so I could recite them, with a twist, as I “bless” my family by my cleaning!) Job 37:21Now … Continue reading Cleaning

Take Courage

everfaith

March 31st, Cadi and I were home getting snuggled in for bed. Jon was out of town on business. I had her downstairs with me because the weather forecast was for severe weather and high winds; I hesitate to have her upstairs when severe weather is approaching.The news station reported that radar indicated a rotation near a town just to our east. At that moment, a tremendous wind hit our house, the satellite went out, and we heard something very large hit the back of the house. Without thinking, we ran to the laundry room with the dogs and shut … Continue reading Take Courage
