Like a camera, we have the ability to zoom-in and focus on things in the distance. We can magnify the object in view and see the little details. We gain clarity in our picture. We can bring sights close where we can almost reach out and touch them. It seems so close, so large on … Continue reading Clarity

New Things
There is nothing new under the sun. Sometimes that is a scary thought. To us, we have new experiences, we meet new people, we even take new paths…starting a new job can be a little frightening. Maybe we take the bus for the first time and we are alone in the journey; it’s totally new … Continue reading New Things
Rumors
"Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross." Proverbs 26:23 (KJV) Start a rumor and watch it spread. Those glass shards are almost impossible to eradicate...they find places to penetrate and cause all kinds of problems. People are drawn to the shiny pieces of gossip. Why, then, can’t we … Continue reading Rumors
A Time
“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:” Ecclesiastes 3:1 (KJV)So many times in my life I try to force things… I force relationships…I force deadlines… I force decisions… Conversations… Writing…and I know these things are forced and therefore fruitless.

Roots of doubt and sin run deep. We can pull out the roots and clean up all the trash, but if we leave just one piece behind, that one piece is enough to start a new plant. Think in the natural sense, how bulbs are cut and multiplied. These plants become resistant to all kinds … Continue reading Resistant
Just Listen
I had a friend send me a video to watch and listen and then relate my thoughts and feelings about it. I started on a blank page to compose my reply… The page remains blank to this day. It’s not that I had no thoughts or nothing to say (believe me, I always have thoughts … Continue reading Just Listen
Zoom…Out
We like to see growth. We see it in nature as the trees get taller each year. Our crops grow before our eyes. As do our children. In business, we see expansions and financial growth. Our coworkers move up the ladder or on to bigger and better things. We move up, too. Or we change … Continue reading Zoom…Out
Serving
Funny thing happened the other day… I was cooking a meal for I don’t know probably 50-60 people. I got up early that morning, got everything going. I cooked the entire meal. No problem. It wasn’t until I went to serve that I realized I had no spoons. It’s funny to me how much we … Continue reading Serving
Who Am I…
Point of Grace asks “LORD, Who am I that YOU would speak to me so softly…?” How can I even think to be worthy of any conversation with GOD much less be found worthy of a drop of grace? I was thinking of the woman with the issue of blood…and wondering if I would be … Continue reading Who Am I…
