I’ve been thinking a lot about darkness and light this week. That’s been the subject of a handful of devotions I’m working on for my new 365-day devo (did I tell you I’m writing a new one? More later on this project!) Maybe my interest is drawn to this subject because we’re entering a season ...

First Scoop
Hi there BFFs (Blessed Friends Forever), I’ve been sidelined by a bad head cold for the past week or so and I’m still stalled out in Brainfogland, but I wanted you to know I’m still thinking about you and praying for you (betwixt coughs). I’d like to gift you with a little reading from one ...

I love it when you, my beloved BFFs (Blessed Friends Forever) share with me, from time to time, Ah-Ha! moments you’ve encountered during your study of the Bible.

Sharing Jesus-Joy

I enjoyed sharing a little Jesus-joy at the Aldersgate Methodist Women’s Luncheon, church home of my longtime friend, Lydia Smith. It was such fun!

A Day Off the Pain Treadmill
Are you ready for another amazing grace note? I hope you like to hear about them as much as I like telling you about Papa God’s little everyday touches of grace that keep us aware of his presence and interaction in our lives. (Hey, you know I want to hear about your grace notes too, ...

Mama always said when everyone else rubs you the wrong way, you must be the one bristling in the wrong direction. So yeah, I knew the problem lay with the gal in the mirror, but I couldn’t pinpoint why. Hormones? ...
Laying it On Thick
Ewww. Now I’m not complaining about aging (or maybe I am) but who amongst us of a certain age takes a daily calcium supplement (besides me)? If you do, would you mind answering a few questions? Is your supplemental calcium in liquid, pill, or bugspray form? (Do I ever wish it came as an aerosol!) ...
Meeting the Mayor
I was walking down a tree-lined sidewalk the other day, enjoying a slight respite from the 900 degree summer heat. A flash of gray caught the corner of my eye. A squirrel was zooming down from the upper branches of a tree I was about to pass, as if on a mission. He flew down ...
It’s Your Serve
My friend Amy told me about a man in her apartment complex who greets her from his wheelchair whenever she comes or goes. Joe recently shared with her how the desire of his heart was to serve the Lord in some way, but because of his disability, he didn’t feel that he had anything to ...
