Weekly Photo Challenge: Letters

https://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_photo_challenge/letters/ We minister in Ghana, West Africa and drive all over the country. Everywhere we go there are small shops with unique and inventive names. Many of the names are religious, some are wildly funny, but this one stood out from the rest. I think the owner is saying, Hey, I know this is a […]

The Simple Pleasures of Life

Describe your favorite coffee or tea cup. Please don’t tell me it’s paper with a Mermaid logo!!! I asked about the cup, not the contents. Yesterday I found treasure in the clearance shelves at Home Goods. Two cups with perfect proportions and balanced weight. I enjoyed tea in the afternoon and coffee this morning, taking […]

The Unwelcome Truth About Writer’s Block

Ever had Writer’s Block? The dread of all dreads for wordsmiths and the rest of us who want a written record of our brain/heart musings. Somehow today I made my way across the Internet to Rookiemag.com and an article called Getting Unstuck. Lots of good stuff here, so these folks know a thing or two […]

Give Me That Old Time Religion

Sunday evenings we’d share how God had worked in our lives that week. We’d testify to the greatness and goodness of God and give Him the glory, out loud, in the midst of […]

Finding The Perfect Balance in Life

[getty src=”481017837?et=nqiZdHdYQERVn3Qh6r6U6A&SeoLinks=off&sig=um-V9UqbFHhm6rZMjBMHroPASth1owCdYi2H0zM1ZB0=” width=”507″ height=”398″] Do you struggle to find the right balance in your life? I do. For instance, I enjoy my family, but want some time and space to myself. Love my hobbies, but the hate clutter. Try to plan out long term finances, and how I can get the sofa reupholstered before it’s […]

Because You Want Your Prayers Answered!

[getty src=”173571992?et=KcbXfJTPRw1OZbVaN25wGA&SeoLinks=off&sig=vz2NgUBQD7TGePlDEye-4cVQgOClPv8m4YhQRtAFNng=” width=”398″ height=”555″] Easter Sunday sermon snippet still on my mind! Both thieves crucified with Jesus had a prayer request. Both wanted to be saved. Do you want your prayers answered? Compare the two requests from Luke 23:39-43. Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, “If You are the Christ, […]

Grace, Enough To Help You Keep It Together

Just how much grace do you need? How much is sufficient for today, this week, this year, or for a lifetime? Today while cleaning out drawers in a small chest in my office I found a box of staples. A box I bought 29 years ago. It’s more than half full; I discovered that when […]

The Road to Hell is Paved, Really?

http://dailypost.wordpress.com/dp_writing_challenge/great-expectations/ The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Every time I hear that phrase I’m tempted to ask questions. There’s a road, really? Paved, really? My goal for this Daily Prompt on Great Expectations was a less spiritual and a more practical business spin on the old cliche. Knowing nothing about business, I […]

What Does The Cross Mean To You?

[getty src=”452527125?et=NmYGefnQRkS5ov7X1BO9Rg&sig=Le-SAiuRbzgFfqsAT9kRkgfeRR3XTMHQRkDO4OOWosM=” width=”398″ height=”655″] For each of us the Cross of Jesus Christ is either intensely personal or meaningless. There’s no middle ground, no gray area. What happened in Jerusalem over 2000 years ago poses a question to each of us. What response do I have to the death of Christ on the Cross? The […]
