The Bible refers to sheep more than any other creature. Sheep have an undeserved reputation for being dumb. They aren’t dumb. I have some relatives who are sheep farmers. I have seen first hand how sheep behave. They have really long memories and they communicate with each other. When a person has a good relationshipContinue reading “Sheep and Shepherds”

Trust in the Lord with all your heart    and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him,    and he will direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 Lord, today I pray that You infuse my heart with this wisdom so that I may live this wondrous day You have made in a way that glorifies You. Amen.

I am always amazed when I pray for God’s help and actually receive it. I get so totally blown away … I want to jump up and down and tell the whole world, “You’ll never believe what happened! I prayed for God’s help and received exactly what I prayed for. I mean, never in aContinue reading “Why Surprised?”

Good Morning God! It’s Monday again. Praise be for the gift of another day, another week, another chance to be the person You intend me to become! God, I thank You once again for the roof over my head, the food in my cupboard, the job I have, the health I have, the fact thatContinue reading “Monday”

I think about God a lot. Really a lot. Unfortunately I think I don’t think about Him when I most need His help. I’ve had way too much practice living by the axiom, “Don’t ever ask anybody for any kind of help. Ever. Solve your own problems.” So that’s kind of my automatic habit. WhenContinue reading “God, please help me to …”

I know that You have created me and blessed me with the grace of salvation in order that I may serve a greater purpose. You haveContinue reading “Balance”

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,  looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising theContinue reading “Today’s Hope”

Some days I wake up just filled with a sense of the awesomeness of God. I start my morning prayers and find that I can’t pray with words because there are no words for what I want to share with God. It’s not that I can’t pray, but my prayer is not in human words.Continue reading “God is Awesome”

Why have I been writing about child abuse? Because I’m spending the Summer reading the Psalms. I don’t read the Bible casually. It affects me. I mean, really affects me. I’m not always sure it affects me the way it’s supposed to, but neither I am sure that it doesn’t. There are two big issuesContinue reading “Tough Topics: From the Heart”
