Recent discussions coupled with observations on Facebook and in the devotional I’m currently reviewing, have led to this morning’s feelings on relationship with Christ. As I type this, I am just finishing up my morning devotional quiet time, and am still feeling my Lord’s arms around me. This subject is dear to His heart asRead More…
Didn’t have time to do any journalling about today’s session till tonight, but it is well worth journalling about. As I looked over the list of suggested activities for engaging in “me” time, I realized that one particular thread worked its way through all of them. This was a list of activities for something weRead More…
Today is one of bothersome dismay. There is dismay that is passing, just a small concern or disappointment at something that a person said or did. There is dismay that can lead to disillusionment, leaving the person totally aghast that someone could even think of saying or doing a certain thing. But then there isRead More…
So many good and useful, not to mention actionable admonishments in this 31-day devotional by T.C. Spellen! Yesterday she talked about de-cluttering your life and today she spoke of living simply.

As a worshipper used to God meeting me intimately through lyrics expressedRead More…
Prayer. . . a subject that has become dear to me over the years and moreso as God has shown me that the concept of prayer is so much more than merely bringing Him a laundry list. Prayer is meant to be two-way communication between the follower of Christ, and God. Scripture mentions various kindsRead More…
Journalling, what used to be known as “Dear Diary” decades ago when pen still touched paper, has always been something I’ve struggled with. I start, sometimes go for up to a month or more at a time, then life happens and it’s hard to get back at it. Journalling is supposed to be a privateRead More…
Tonight my grown kids and I celebrated our own little version of Messianic Passover. This year was a bit different, in that we did it nacho-style, and my son is now old enough to take more of the lead in this special celebration. Due to the fact I’d put our little “order of service” togetherRead More…
