spiritual walk

What does corn say when it's frustrated? Aw shucks! . . . Ever wonder if you just plain frustrate the bejeebers out of Jesus? Well, I have. And if anyone could, I’m pretty sure it would be me. However, in a recent lesson...

As we rounded the corner to look into Piazza dei Miracoli, we caught our first sight of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It was so surreal – almost an out-of-body experience. I couldn’t believe...

My 18-month-old had chronic breathing issues and required doctor visits 2-4 times a month. And now we were to be without health insurance. I remember specifically telling God that HE would need to be my daughter’s “insurance”...

I’ve just finished a very emotional week. And by the end of it, I was asking God why I can’t seem to “control” my emotions – why it didn’t appear that I had any power to do so. I also don’t have any power to make others do what I want them to. And it appears...

You’ve heard the quote “big things come in small packages” said before. And I know something about “small packages”, being that I’m short. So believe me when I say Psalm 100 is a very short psalm. I am 5 feet, and this Psalm has 5 verses. Hmmm. We may be onto something here.

What's an early memory in your life - like perhaps childhood. I don't know why, but I've been thinking about tissues - you know - Kleenex. (Doesn't matter the brand, I always think of them as Kleenex.) Kleenex was a luxury in our house when I was growing up....
