inside the fist

Inside the Fist

VineWords Devotions and More

I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. look crazy as I make a fist. John 10:28 ESV Imagine being inside the fist.  I drove to Rhode Island from New Hampshire to speak at a ladies’ retreat. As normal, I practiced the teaching as I drove. God gives me deeper insight and great analogies while driving. The teaching for that weekend was entitled, “Shining for Jesus in This Dark … Continue reading →

Watch Wait and Pray

Watch, Wait, and Pray

VineWords Devotions and More

But for me, I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me. Micah 7:7 ESV All we could do was watch, wait, and pray. My wife and I became empty nesters when our last two children moved out and shared an apartment. Doing so was a huge step for them and us. Thirty-one years had passed since we’d been on our own. I now notice things I once didn’t: … Continue reading →

fighting spiritual battles

Fighting Spiritual Battles

VineWords Devotions and More

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. ~John 15:13 KJV Memorial Day is the day Americans celebrate our freedom and remember those who died to preserve it. But fighting spiritual battles proves more intense.  Other countries also designate days to celebrate their freedom and heroes. Freedom is ours because men and women sacrificed their time and sometimes their lives so life could be better for others. Members of my family … Continue reading →

lost

Lost

VineWords Devotions and More

I took a small break and a deep breath as I looked at the mall map, searching for that circled star that would clarify my location, but I was lost.   I had walked in circles, looking for the one store that was the purpose of my trip. Somehow, I had become twisted and distracted, and before realizing it, my quick stop at the mall ticked toward a second hour. Nagging questions swirled in my mind: “Had the store moved? … Continue reading →

walking with God

Walking with God

VineWords Devotions and More

      Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day.             ~Genesis 3:8a NIV Walking with God is much like one weekend when I took a walk with a good friend. When we greeted each other, we giggled. We hadn’t seen each other in weeks. While we walked around the loop in my neighborhood, we talked … Continue reading →

A Yellow-Pen Life

A Yellow-Pen Life

VineWords Devotions and More

Little did I know I was living a yellow-pen life.    “Aww, these are nice.” One daughter had gifted me my favorite journaling pens, and my oldest presented a full set of eight Bible marking pens. I held up a yellow one from each set and said, “Interesting.”  They both knew I enjoyed a lot of color in my life, and, quite honestly, yellow is one of my favorites. But, yellow pens? It only took one trial run to realize … Continue reading →

wallflowers can dance

Wallflowers Can Dance

VineWords Devotions and More

I stepped outside my comfort zone, stepped into a Soul Dancing class, and discovered that wallflowers can dance.   Twice each week, I showed up in comfy shoes and a big smile, along with twenty-five to thirty other folks with varying levels of dancing ability. I’ve never thought I had natural rhythm, and I have had few opportunities to prove it. It was all I could manage to keep my right and left straight while counting continuously. I laughed a … Continue reading →

consider the poor

Consider the Poor

VineWords Devotions and More

God blesses us when we consider the poor. There will always be poor people in the land. Therefore, I command you to be openhanded toward your fellow Israelites who are poor and needy in your land. Deuteronomy 15:11 NIV I met a friend at a restaurant for an evening get-together. We were among the few who ventured out on a chilly winter night. After ordering, we found our seats. Within minutes, the food arrived with its tantalizing aroma. Taking that … Continue reading →

The Fruit of Kindness

The Fruit of Kindness

VineWords Devotions and More

“Would you be so kind as to give us a drink of water from your well?” Someone needed the fruit of kindness.   My mother passed down a story told by her grandmother, who grew up on a farm located on a dusty, rural road. At that time, many people walked wherever they went, having no access to any type of transportation. One hot summer day, a family traveling on foot stopped by my great-grandparents’ farm for a drink of … Continue reading →

ANXIETY WITHIN And Jesus said to him, “What do you want me to do for you?” And the blind man said to him, “Rabbi, let me recover my sight.” ~ Mark 10:51 ESV I could hear the low rumble of my car’s motor as the cool air from the air conditioner blew strands of hair into my face. Peace eluded me. The summer heat in the South pushed a band of perspiration across my forehead, and with one swipe of my hand, I pushed … Continue reading →
