Next Thing You Know
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. ~2 Corinthians 5:17 ESV Change usually happens gradually, but sometimes, it comes instantaneously. Then, the next thing you know, we have choices to make. That special guy takes you to your favorite spot, then suddenly drops to one knee and opens a velvet-covered box, exposing a diamond ring. Next thing you know, you are sending out wedding invitations and … Continue reading →
An Answered Prayer

Distractions and Rumble Strips
But Martha was distracted with much serving. And she went up to him and said, “Lord, do you not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her then to help me.” But the Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is necessary.

Making a List
Then they plotted among themselves, “Let’s choose a leader and go back to Egypt!” ~Numbers 14:4 NLT Making a list and checking it twice—or three or four times—enhances productivity. I’m the king of list-making. I’ve been making lists since I was young and never outgrew the practice. Since I have a good memory, jotting down things is probably unnecessary, but I feel more confident when I do. I jot down what I plan to accomplish weekly on my calendar—of which … Continue reading →

Fitted Together Perfectly
Under his direction, the whole body is fitted together perfectly. ~Ephesians 4:16 NLT Sixteen was a special number, but not because I had a sweet sixteen party. When I performed the calculation, I had belonged to sixteen churches. Like any other child who doesn’t have a choice about where they attend church, as a preacher’s kid, I didn’t either. And since my dad didn’t stay at any one place long, I had been in five churches by the time I … Continue reading →

Spider on My Faucet
So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up. ~Galatians 6:9 NLT THE SPIDER I quickly clicked the button back and forth between settings, shooting water all over the place, trying to wash away the spider on my faucet. Each morning, he has been there on the nozzle, just hanging out. For weeks now, a spider has made a web from the … Continue reading →
