I would guess many bloggers, like myself process by writing. I may mull over an issue for hours, days, or more depending on what I’m pondering. Then I journal to get it out and sort my thoughts. Recently, I did my processing by writing a free-verse poem. It started with two words that kept bouncingContinue reading “Processing Life”

Two Years!
This week I celebrate two years of writing and sharing my devotionals, Bible studies, and other occasional tidbits. I would love to give every reader a cupcake to celebrate with me. Since that’s not possible you’ll have to settle for a virtual treat instead.
Prayers on the Cross – again
I’m repeating a prior post. When originally published this was one of seven posts researching the prayers of Jesus. This one, examines the three distinct prayers of Jesus, our Redeemer, while he suffered on the cross. With the observance of Good Friday and Easter, what better prayers to look at than those of Jesus Christ.Continue reading “Prayers on the Cross – again”
False Alarm
I had an interesting experience happen on Sunday. A couple of smoke alarms at one of the properties I oversee began to malfunction. After checking the situation and determining the detectors needed to be replaced, I headed to the local building materials store for new ones.

The Big Question, Why?

The Fire Continues
Last week, I shared about the holy fire ignited in my women’s Bible study as we began examining the Scriptures about Biblical fasting. Previously, I had misconceptions, thinking the Bible said little on the subject and that it was an optional practice. Both thoughts were incorrect.
