What is a lie? Is it just the telling of an untruth? I think lying is anything done by deception. We all tell half truths and white lies when the need arises.  When it suits our purpose.  When we are trying to protect someone else.  A lie is a dangerous thing. If left as is, … Continue reading Lies and Secrets

Done.  Sometimes there's a shift in the air...just a little change that causes a ripple. Something small. An extra character, perhaps. Maybe an accidental click. A wrong number. Just a thought.  Really that's all it takes. A thought.  A supposition that something has happened.  Or will happen.  And there it is...the shift. Why did he … Continue reading A truth…

Mark 4:23 KJV "If any man has ears to hear, let him hear." Unless our ears are opened, we will never hear of the wonderful mysteries.  Think in the natural sense, how everything is open to interpretation. Our understanding is limited by our point of view which is limited by our experiences.  If I write … Continue reading Ears to Hear

This: "And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know." (1 Corinthians 8:2 KJV) Sometimes I seem to have all the answers. I feel like my words come across forcefully, as if there is no doubt at all about what I write. While I write, … Continue reading False Prophets

Sometimes I jump the gun...Do you? Do you ever want something so much that you rush it? It's like it has to be this way now or never, and never isn't an option. Maybe you even ask GOD for help and guidance...but that whole "wait upon the LORD" thing tries your patience. And you act … Continue reading Plans

During this time of uncertainty, it is easy to let our fear rule our decisions. We fear losing our jobs, running out of food, getting sick, and boredom. Valid fears. I’ll admit that every cough makes me nervous.  I am worried I will run out of food to feed my family and since my hours … Continue reading Fear & Faith

I keep harping on mercy and forgiveness; I am struggling with these myself. Day after day, I face let down of people not meeting my expectations. Perhaps I set the bar too high. LORD, help me to not be as Jonah, not understanding why we all can see YOUR mercy regardless of what wrongs we … Continue reading Mercy and Forgiveness

Who am I kidding? We only want good for us. We don't want anything bad. For me on my own part, when I examine myself, I only see bad. How, then, do I justify only wanting good? This is me and about me--how I view myself. When I look at myself the way I imagine … Continue reading Sometimes we only want good…

So quick to judge. On the surface, everything looks at peace, but inside, an angry ant bed looms. Weird analogy, maybe, but think about it, the ants are organized chaos. Each ant has its job, it's assigned duty and when the bed is disrupted, each one knows what to do and where to go. To … Continue reading Don’t Be…

There is much uncertainty in the world today...both on a global scale and even closer to home. I think it is during these times when we need to join together in the hope of Christian Love and try to beg for mercy from the Father. The Bible states to bear your burdens but also to … Continue reading Uncertainty
