Resting in Him

“My people shall dwell in quiet resting places.” Isaiah 32:18. There is a clear separation between our spirit and our soul’s feeling nature. God crafted us in three distinct parts. Our visible body, our eternal thinking and feeling soul, and the invisible space within where our spirit is. When a believer has gone through all…

A Living Word

It has always been my delight to scribble in my Bible. Capturing a word given, a moment in time, as the Lord revealed Himself alive in Scripture. On Sunday, December 8, 2024 — to record this memory, randomly, I just happened to open my Bible to page 1011. “The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit…

Light Leaks Out

What do we expect to occur on Christmas eve? What leaks out of a cracked soul? Depends on what is stored inside! If it is the light of the world, it shall pierce any darkness. As a Christ centered cracked soul, choose to stay connected to the Source and spill all over. When we feel…

Ears to Hear

Each year for ten nights in December, our Pueblo stays up until 4 am celebrating with loud music. God gave us ears to hear His still, quiet voice. A faith in God builds by hearing what the silent creation screams. “GLORY TO GOD!” It is difficult to hear what the Spirit is saying in the…

Holiday Gifting

God’s mercy and grace is our unwrapped free gift. Life is hard alone, therefore God gifted us with a family of God and friends. As we plan our holiday feasts, let us remember those who have lost a loved one, and those who live alone. Many are coping with infirmities, loss, and recovering from hard…

A Mexican Christmas

In Mexico the month of December shouts JOY! The bells that have inspired poetry, are the church bells that ring at 6 am. Time to rise and shine God’s glory. Families gather at every plaza to fellowship with music and dancing. All voices are welcomed as the sky lights up with stars that lead kids…

A Gift Unwrapped

To every heart, amazing love is extended. SOON, very SOON, packaged gifts tied up with ribbons will be undone as colorful paper is torn off boxes of gifts. The world chose December 25th as the designated day to celebrate the birth of Jesus. Many will choose to rejoice in our rebirth “in Him.” Singing “Silent…

Christmas Poetry

On Friday, December 25, 1863, Henry Longfellow—as a 57-year-old widowed father of six children, the oldest of which had been nearly paralyzed as his country fought a war against itself—wrote a poem seeking to capture the dissonance in his own heart and the world he observes around him that Christmas Day. Henry’s most widely read…
