stop running and turn around.
Yesterday we explored the choices we make. We either walk with the Spirit or we walk with our old nature and in the flesh. There is no third option. While working, I meditated on the verse used yesterday. 13 For you were called to be free, brothers and sisters; only don’t use…

identity crisis.
Yesterday I implored readers to consider the most insidious net, the worst trap of all shame. Shame is satan’s weapon for keeping our eyes on the ground. Shame is an identity we keep when we can not let go of our past sufferings or past wrongdoings. We keep our old…

the net.
When we think of a net, twenty years ago, we would have been thinking about a hair net or maybe a fishing net. In today’s world, we almost automatically think of the world wide web, or as we call it, the net. The internet. I came across an interesting verse…

monkey see. monkey do.
This was a phrase I first learned in kindergarten. There were kids putting paste in their ears. The teacher walked up and asked one of them why. They said because so-and-so was doing it. She said monkey see, monkey do. It took me years to understand what she was saying.…

today the celebration is His
Today there will be no cake. No singing happy birthday. No candles, no special dinner, no presents. No fun activity planned. No, today is a day that instead I choose to celebrate my Heavenly Father and give Him the glory, honor, and praise. Before time began, and this earth’s foundation…

rocks and sand.
When we lived in Washington State, we would occasionally get the chance to go to the Pacific beaches. It was quite the trek from the parking lot to the actual beach. The path started out with walking on a solid ground and then turned into sand. The sand was the…

tired.
Do have those moments in life where you are just tired? You can not seem to get enough sleep or maybe you are sleeping too much? I wished sometimes we never had to sleep. This often comes about because there is so much I want to do in a day…
