Have you ever had someone talking to you and while you hear them speaking, you really aren’t listening to what they’re saying? Yeah, sad to say, me too. This morning in my reading, I was convicted of that, as I studied my way through Proverbs 23:19. “Hear my son, and be wise, and direct your heart in the way.” This … Read More
What are you craving?
So this morning as I continued in my personal study (reading through the Psalms and Proverbs), I read Proverbs 13. This is the third time I have read this chapter so far this year, and I have to say that God always seems to draw new things to my attention. This morning He brought an important truth to the forefront. … Read More
Wow!
God keeps me in a perpetual state of “WOW!!”. I know I’ve shared this already, but this year, I am studying through a chapter of Psalms and a chapter of Proverbs each morning. I am seeing more and more how ALIVE God’s word is. There is always something new that He reveals and teaches. This morning I was impacted by … Read More
Words Matter
I really enjoy looking back through my journals to see what God had to say to me at different times in my life.

I came across this journal entry this morning, and sheesh, it was as convicting today as it was the … Read More

Check it out… “My son, keep my words and STORE UP my commands within you.”, Proverbs 7:1 “Store up” — do we truly remember what we learn from Scripture…storing it away as something that … Read More
When It Snows in April
Every now and then I enjoy looking back through my old journal entries to see what God was teaching me back then and if I am still living out what He taught me. Today was such an occasion. Here is a journal entry from April 15, 2014. “So, I was thinking just now as I looked out the window and … Read More
A Snowy Walk to the Shop
I was standing this morning watching Mike walk out to the shop to get his truck. It was cold and windy, and the driveway was snow-covered. Before he headed out, I had suggested that he take the car that was parked in the house garage because it would be warm, and it would eliminate the trek all the way out … Read More
Lessons from the Bees
Every now and again something comes across my path that really impacts me, and when it includes anything in nature, that makes it even better! I came across this short writing not long ago and I knew I needed to share it with you. ___________________ My dad has bees. Today I went to his house and he showed me all … Read More
Peeling an Onion
So I was reading this morning and there is a section of this particular study guide called “Truth Encounter”. Under this section there were several passages of Scripture listed that were to be looked up. Well, little did I know that the very first passage would be one with which God began to peel another layer of my soul’s “onion” … Read More
