There are people who are blessed by their name. Pamela means honey and I continue to work on being sweeter. I met a student at YWAM named Joy and her smile was infectious. What a beautiful person. I have been making frequent trips to the post office lately and am a sucker for the cards/stationary…
Henry’s a Doer
This is a line from a popular English tv show. Mary is comparing her deceased husband to her current husband, Henry. There is no lack of love but an understanding that some of us attack our lives with action. He is pragmatic and not a whimsical dreamer. “He must test himself (for endurance) from morning…
The High Places
“And so we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts.” 2 Pet 1:19 We need the right words – words that are sure and reliable. Those…
Friends Forever
Recently I was touring an old Bible with small print. I’ve loved and used that Bible – but now I use larger print. Sometimes I will find a little scrap of paper with a Bible verse or, sometimes, money in a Bible. This Bible had a phone number and a name. To write something in…
Is God Resting?
I’ve had some serious sleep avoidance because of a silly prescription that I just finished. It has already been an especially busy week and I almost fell asleep on a friends couch mid-visit by 3 PM. At night I’m lying there for hours and my mind is doing the same thing your mind does on…
More Surrender
I’m sassy. The thought of surrender is full of friction. Days are full of resistance with forward and backwards steps, for instance, today. My goal is to serve the Lord abroad and locally. Each day I anticipate inspiration and it comes. I’m clearing space in my home and mind so that I can travel “lighter”….
Hate Matters
Today Alec Baldwin was indicted for involuntary manslaughter. Hate matters because it matters to God who made provision in His law. What not to do is/was kill a person. If an animal died, due to your negligence, compensation was required. (Another suggestion that we stop dressing our dogs and/or state that all dogs go to…
Trust and Obey
If you do a quick read of the book of Joshua you may miss it. Tons of telling about how the land is distributed. In Chapter 21 all of the warring and distributing is done. God’s promise is fulfilled with a caveat in Chapter 23. It does not come rolling but roaring down in verses…
A Noun and a Verb
Compassion is a person, place or thing so it should be a noun but it is not just a noun. It presents as a noun, being a sympathetic pity and concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others. Having sympathy is a verb because you have the noun – sympathy and have is the verb….
I Sought the Lord
I sought the Lord and He heard and He answered I sought the Lord and He heard and He answered I sought the Lord and He heard and He answered That is why I trust Him. This song has been spinning around me all day. Not because of a particular answer to said prayers but…
