Joel

Joel is known as the Prophet of Revival. The title of this book is the name of its writer, as is probably true of all the prophetical books of the Old Testament. The name Joel means “Yahweh is God.” He was the son of Pethuel (“Persuaded of God”), who does not appear to have been…

Absent Minded

And the winner is…. “Me” for being absent minded! My pen was behind my ear the entire time I searched my desk to find it. Equally embarrassing is when I go blank when asked “what’s your phone number?” Or the times when I scan photo’s that I personally took with my phone and I beg…

Acceptance

Finally being ordinary is a fashion. Having scars shows courage, wearing wrinkles demonstrates dignity. A fully mature human, is a carriage of spirit, mind and heart. The joy of age bursts forth as a bud that blooms, then falls gracefully. Elders have the capacity to see beyond appearance with recognition of experience. Giving way to…

Truth Spoken

What we think about, we often think is a secret. The truth is that there is One who knows everything that passes through our minds, regardless if we speak a word. That shocking truth can be scary to those who think and plan evil, but to many others, who know the One who knows all…

Changing Times

Weather change is ever consistent. Winter, Fall, Spring, Summer. Wistfully we change from babes to teens, then a person in between. Wedded as parents, then grand folks. Accepting that 24 hours will constantly tick away, with dulled minds, hearts and attitudes ever changing. What we saw and heard was perceived as good or evil. Innocent…

Texas Beefy Breakfast

In Plano for a month and enjoying camping in a fabulous spot. My campsite came with a magic chef fridge, a hot plate, pans, utensils and dishes. My Sunday morning began with a brisk walk to Aldi’s Market to get the ingredients. I was inspired by a meal that my husband told me he cooked…

Are you Desperate?

Be Alert One definition for DESPERATE is “to have a great need or desire for something.” Seeking the face of God with earnest prayer is to feel a burning desperation to encounter more of God personally. “I love those who love Me, and those who seek Me diligently will find Me.” Proverbs 8:17 – “And my…
