WHAT DOES IT TAKE?!… 7/28/2021 … Wednesday ..

What do you think your potential is? Do you think it matches what your Creator sees as your potential? One of the reasons that I love the Olympics is seeing people realize they have greater potential than they thought. One of the issues I have with the Olympics is the stress it can put onContinue reading “WHAT DOES IT TAKE?!… 7/28/2021 … Wednesday ..”

How do you handle those little, under-the-surface fears? The ones about your health, your abilities, your future, your family, your finances, your broken down car, etc.? Do you know what I am talking about? My prayer this morning is to keep affirming your faith in a Loving Holy Spirit who comforts, helps, advocates on ourContinue reading “TREMBLING BONES… 7/23/2021”

STEPPING OUT .. 7/15/2021 …Thriving on Thursday

I have a tendency to pull away into my own world, especially if there is conflict. I have discovered that no matter what our personalities or coping traits are, we can step out in faith. And, in stepping out, it is okay if we don’t get it all right, as long as we are livingContinue reading “STEPPING OUT .. 7/15/2021 …Thriving on Thursday”

Popeye, the Sailor Man, with Spinach……… July 2, 2021 … Friday

Yet even as I was a child, I was the one who was chosen to be the preacherContinue reading “MAY YOU BE WITH THE FORCE5/19/2021”

Touching Lepers05.03.2021Monday

I titled this “Touching Lepers” and I don’t think I even mentioned the scripture in Matthew where Jesus comes down after the Sermon on the Mount and a man with leprosy asks Jesus to heal him. Jesus does the unthinkable: he reaches out and touches him. Jesus saw beyond the disease to the person underneath.Continue reading “Touching Lepers05.03.2021Monday”
