“Happy are the people who walk with integrity, who live according to the teachings of the Eternal.” – Psalm 119:1 The Voice. Something needs to happen once we believe. We are walking in integrity and living a different way. To know what to tweak we read the Bible – the teachings of the Eternal. There…

Oops – I Did It Again
I’ve done it again. Many days of good teaching/ideas/suggestions but no time to write. I’ll just touch on a couple… Our moods can go up and down. I know we were created by God but some have extra sensitivities. We refer to those, as children, as being moody or hyperactive while they are just being…
pot-pour-ri
Potpourri means an assortment. It is an assortment of dried petals and spices but I’m looking for a way to give you some thoughts to take over and chew on. God’s Word is constantly inspiring. It is solid truth but seems to morph as we grow. (I don’t know if believers in Jesus can shrink…
Mission Improbable
Years ago I remember sounding out the Mission Impossible tune (theme music) on a piano. It is very distinctive. I have always enjoyed the action films of the James Bond genre. I don’t know why except the good guy is amazing and always wins. A hundred bullets can fly over Ethan or James head but…
Was Jesus Nice?
WAS JESUS NICE? 7/30/24 I’m angry. Daily I ask God for the mind of Christ. I want to treat fellow believers and non-believers as Jesus would. Was Jesus nice? What did a holy God, embodied in a physical form, do when confronted with evil? I’m not talking about being offended but let’s examine a couple…
Obsessing
I like the term focus. I’ve been reading about extremes and how our nervous systems can wire our personalities. For instance, introverts may have more sensitivity to sound stimuli. The shyness is a protective internal device. It is like fight or flight. There are a million examples but what is most important is that God…
Unfamiliar Discontent
What is this thing I keep thinking about? I’m waking up and there is a knot in my stomach. Something has happened to someone I love. Yes, I pray. I’m moving slower and more thoughtfully. I’m distracted. I’m trying not to cry or yell. This feeling is unfamiliar. I’m usually following marching orders…left, right, left,…
I Missed It
I did read Henri J.M. Noun’s book ‘The Return of The Prodigal Son’. There are so many lessons in there. The account from Jesus always connects to my heart. Having looked at it many times, one day a light bulb came on. The father did not pursue his wayward son. The prodigal lived with his…
Take the Pills
I recently had oral surgery. Three times a day I take pills and rinse with two solutions. I want the pain to subside and I want recovery so I can eat again. I am eating – but squishy things – argh. I made a schedule and listed every step. In a couple of weeks I…
Peace Pool Party
Talk about acceptance. As a mature woman I attended a water park for the day with family. Mostly I watched my grandkids but also put on a swimsuit then later added one of those sun-proof long-sleeved water shirts. People do odd things at water parks and barriers are minimized. For whatever reason, I found myself…
