On my walk today, I was reminded of the need to breathe. Sometimes life has a way of making you stop or slow down and focus on your breathing for a moment. And I was reminded to take a minute and look around at all God’s glory. Just take a moment and listen to the … Continue reading Walking

How Often…
How often do we lie to ourselves? When we look into the mirror, do we see ourselves as we are, or do we see our reflection distorted by our imagination? Do we show ourselves any grace? How often do we tell ourselves we’re not good enough? How often do we put ourselves down? How often … Continue reading How Often…
Butterflies
Sometimes I just need to draw a butterfly… When I start to panic and think about drawing some lines, I try to think “butterfly.” Let's try to be positive and spread some cheer instead of hurt and pain. What if we change, not just how we look, but how we see? You know the caterpillar … Continue reading Butterflies
Tunnels
The light at the end of the tunnel…I once joked that the light flickered and faded and all I saw was the dark tunnel. Here’s the question: what is the tunnel? Usually they are underground…a way to go from one place to another. Sometimes it is cool, temperature wise, with the earth on all sides. … Continue reading Tunnels
Knowing
You know what our problem is many times? In my opinion it is that we think we have to know everything. Job 37: 23-24 (KJV) states, "Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict. Men do therefore fear … Continue reading Knowing

He helps me through each day; He is always there holding my hand through all my struggles and showing me His kindness and mercy.

One of the most wonderful feelings is the ability to sit with someone and not feel the need to talk, to fill the space with sound. What a blessing it is to share the time in peace without being judged. Sometimes we need those comfortable silences for reflection. Or for the sake of silence. Not … Continue reading Silences
Apples and Doors
“Eat the damn apple” Technically, it wasn’t said exactly that way, but the tone…wow! I heard words that weren’t intended…or said. But it got my attention… Isn’t that what we all need sometimes? We need someone to smack us upside the head and help us regain our focus. Not literally, of course, just in a … Continue reading Apples and Doors
Proof
“Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.” Matthew 12:38 (KJV) We look for signs everywhere telling us what to do, where to go, what to speak…we want proof we are going right. Proof is an interesting concept. Elisha spoke to the king and … Continue reading Proof
Impossible
“Let your heart therefore be perfect with the Lord our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.” 1 Kings 8:61 (KJV) This seems like an impossible task. And it is…but it is only impossible because we are mortals and prone to sin. Well, that and the fact … Continue reading Impossible
