In Waiting…

Rain

Seasons. Change. Unknown. It seems we are always faced with these 3 realities. Our lives are ever moving, ever changing, ever filled to the brim. No matter how comfortable we seem to be with our routines, our habits, and our comfort zones, there is always something we are waiting for, something we desire…something about which

Praying Scripture

Open The Word -- Bible

Do you ever feel distant from God?   When you pray, do you feel that your prayers are hitting the ceiling? Do you ever question…are my prayers really being heard? Prayer is… one of the greatest privileges we have.  We posses the ability to access the throne of grace with confidence whenever we have a

Sane Lane

sane lane

My reflection, random thoughts. . . We can roll in the “sane lane” with God as our provider. Life is not perfect, life is in session. Life is a journey not a destination. Life is God’s road course. Life is full of speed bumps…God’s way of letting us know that we are not in control.

Pink shoulders from not remembering to put

One year ago, actually on cinco de mayo, 2009, I was driving alone in my truck heading home from who knows where listening to the radio.  I can recall the day like it was yesterday, especially the feelings I had.  To cut to the chase and be very BLUNT – I was feeling MISERABLE!  I

The Controversial Day

Prayer

The BUZZ has been in the air about TODAY ~ May 6, 2010 for several months now.  I’ve seen controversial posts all over the internet, social media channels, and through traditional media regarding the National Day of Prayer. I am not going to claim to understand the history of this “day” even though I’ve done

Daily KIP: Two are better than one. We all need someone to call in the middle of the night. Or someone who “busts” us when we’re crossing the line. Two who sharpen each other – pray for each other – encourage each other. Who are you linking arms with? Who have you invited into your
