Zechariah “Yahweh Remembers”

Sam Writes 2 tagged me with a meme I can get into! The original meme came from Subversive Influence. I don’t really like memes – I have an aversion to them. Ignorance is bliss…sometimes.
But this tag is about the Bible – my FAVORITE book EVER! To narrow it down to one [...]

It’s Not Easy Being Green

I love trees. Throughout the yard twelve Crepe Myrtles in a variety of colors with showy flowers are beginning to bloom. The Live Oak, planted eight years ago, is now taller than the house. The Bluepoint Junipers are the perfect shape and size for Christmas lights this year. I found a [...]

My Dad

My dad is so cool! He’s a charmer, a singer, an artist, a soldier, a director, a provider, a comic, a gardener…my teacher.
For much of my life, Dad has been my inspiration. From grade school he has encouraged me to hone my artistic abilities. He’s a professional artist – has been since [...]

Whatever It Takes

There’s a voice calling me
From an old rugged tree
And He whispers draw closer to me;
Leave this world far behind,
There are new heights to climb,
And a new place in me you will find.
For whatever it takes to draw closer to you Lord,
That’s what I’ll be willing to do.
For whatever it takes to be more like You,
That’s [...]

Praying for You

Asking…seeking…pleading…praising…meditating…begging…knocking…persevering…relying…trusting.
He must answer. I know He will answer. I won’t make it without His answer….
Desperation leads me to running in search of a safe place. People aren’t always safe. If you’ve lived very long you know people will disappoint. We have a tendency to run to the place where we [...]

Well Content With Weakness

I am not a healthy hiker. I would love to be and hope someday for complete healing, but at this point in time, I am not.
It feels good to be healthy and sucks (sorry, Mom, I hate that word too, but it fits in this instance) to be weak, yet God tells us we are [...]

Covenant…A Bond in Blood

Have you heard of Kay Arthur?  She is the co-founder of Precept Ministries International, a ministry for the edifying and building up of the body.  She is a Bible study author and teacher.  She was my mentor for fifteen years, not in the flesh, but via videotapes and through leadership training conferences.  Much of what I know concerning the [...]

The Unexamined Life

I’m beginning to understand everyone has a story.  It seems we all have had struggles we’ve had to endure which have made us into the people we are today. (DUH)
I walk around the local mall and see the variety of stores and styles available to suit the desires of individual shoppers.  I notice the amount of people looking [...]

Where Do You Run?

First grade was a turning point in my young life.  If given the chance, most children will relentlessly tease tiny, freckled-face redheads.  And if you’re a chatterbox, teachers get frustrated with telling you to be quiet, and in the sixties they used paddles to get their point across.   First grade was a culture shock and set the [...]

God Sees Our Hearts

While man looks on the outward appearance, I am so thankful, God looks upon the heart:
To: Jesus, Son of Joseph
Woodcrafter’s Carpenter Shop
Nazareth
From: Jordan Management Consultants
Dear Sir:
Thank you for submitting the resumes of the twelve men you have picked for managerial positions in your new organization. All of them have now taken our battery of tests…As [...]
