Storm Shelter

I don’t watch a lot of television, but one of the few shows I like is Storm Stories. Perhaps it is because I like thunderstorms. I love to curl up with a good book or my laptop and listen to the sound of rain or the gentle roll of thunder. My mother was quite the [...]

Perspective

Your love, O Lord, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies. (Psalm 36:5, NIV) I am often encouraged by a beautiful sunset. It appears majestic. Ribbons of soaring light peering through cupplets of clouds, draws in my heart. I don’t seek God in the sunset, but I search the heavens and thank Him [...]

You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of dead men’s bones and everything unclean.Who are you when no one is looking?” (Matthew 23:27).

He Knows

When is the last time that you felt completely alone and forgotten? Have you ever felt like you could disappear, and no one would notice until the laundry started piling up or when people started getting hungry? I know that I have felt this way at times. I guess I have to admit that one [...]

This morning I was just sitting here kind of feeling sorry for myself once again. Have you ever felt like you’ve hit a brick wall? Well, today I feel like I’m hanging onto the brick wall and sliding down with my fingernails making that annoying chalkboard sound all the way. Weary from this past five [...]

Do you ever have a feeling that when you are walking alone you are really not alone? Do you ever feel that you are being followed by someone and you keep walking slowly and begin looking around, to see if there is anyone there? You begin to check your surroundings for safety just in case [...]

As I was driving through the neighborhood this morning I couldn’t help but notice the rotten pumpkins ready for the compost pile. Stinky, moldy, ugly, yucky pumpkins that were once beautiful and bright. Sin is ugly, stinky, and moldy! Man’s Sin is like a rotting pumpkin. God sees that we are sinners and condemns us [...]

As some of you know, I work for my parents. My step-dad is a Dentist and asked me to become a Registered Dental Assistant and work in his office. Being the boss’ daughter can be difficult. Most employees think that I am spoiled, make tons of money, and get to do whatever I want. He [...]
