(this is a re-post with follow-up. i’ve got stewardship on the brain, so this post was a natural to include in this series.) A couple of years ago, just before Thanksgiving, Beth Moore ( of Living Proof Ministries) asked a very interesting question on her blog. I answered it in a way that surprised me. So when [...]

wanting the microphone

I’ve been wishing for a chance to speak publicly about some recent events in my life, and at the same time I’ve been ashamed of that desire. Part of my southern upbringing is to suppress all hankering for publicity. So every time I caught myself wanting to speak up about some recent blessings I would [...]

Thoughts. Thoughts scurry in my mind. Like fifteen toddlers who all are trying to get out the door all at once. What you really need is for them all to be quiet, and pay attention so you can instruct them to get in line and hold hands. No one will get left out. Just calm [...]

today I lost my job. a job I had been in for just shy of 10 years. I started there October 16th of 2000 and my final day of work will be October 1st of 2010. I never wanted to leave. My disposition is funny that way. Advancement is not really my thing. The desire [...]
get thee to a closet

tomorrow is National Day of Prayer. I agree in concept with a day to concentrate on praying for our nation, and our leaders (Mr. Obama certainly needs God’s guiding hand on his heart)…… But…. In the midst of spreading the word and reminding people to pray we must be careful of something – the majority [...]

I was just writing a note of encouragement to a friend who is going through a rough time and having a birthday tomorrow. (why do those two things always coincide?) At first I didn’t know what to say. But after a while the words just flowed and what I sent her ended up feeling so [...]
put out the fire and tear down the walls

Recently I realized that there was something missing in my life. Some walls that I had built, some anger I had harbored for years was gone. Just gone. Crumbled. Vanished. ……..gone. Had I been working on removing it? Not really. I had prayed a couple of times about it, but I wasn’t thinking about it [...]

Acts 16: 22 – 26 22The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas, and the magistrates ordered them to be stripped and beaten. 23After they had been severely flogged, they were thrown into prison, and the jailer was commanded to guard them carefully. 24Upon receiving such orders, he put them in the inner [...]
renewing the gratitude list

months ago I was posting a list of ten things to be grateful for every week. Sometimes it was simple stuff, like oatmeal cookies. Sometimes I tried to be profound. I got lazy after a while and stopped posting those lists. Well today, in the face of my husband losing his job to the concept [...]
the 24/7 bible study

My friend Missy just posted a series about Bible studies. About how she has been trained to lead them properly and how frustrating is it to sit in a study that someone else is leading and have thoughts flitting through her head like “I would be keeping this discussion on track” But the point of [...]
