The Words of Christ are crisp, clear, but often hard to swallow. The disciples walked, talked and ate with Jesus. They were face to face, elbow to elbow, and knew him in a way that makes sense. They were in a daily relationship. He was their master and friend. He taught them about the kingdom of God ... READ the POST
The path of obedience in relationships
Listen and Obey
It's easy to do the things that come naturally to me. But, it's not so easy to lay down my will and follow God into the areas that are hard or unnatural to my reasoning, feelings, or habitual ways of living. I am so glad that Jesus understands this, and many years ago began teaching people, like ... READ the POST
Not of this World?
Let's face it, the term, "Not of this World" sounds a little bit weird. But, that term is what the Apostle Paul urges us to live up to. In 2 Peter he urges us to live as aliens and strangers in this world. Is he admonishing Christians to be weird, hyper-spiritual, not in touch with reality? No. ... READ the POST
The "Me" I see, is the Me I will be!
Never under estimate the power of suggestion, ingrained thought patterns, or the lies you have believed about yourself.

None of us ever arrive. For those that are perfectionist, achievers by nature, this might be a hard fact. For those that ... READ the POST
Living Like I'm Loved
It's easy to live like I'm on my own, unloved, or never enough. Unfortunately as a woman today, the idea of being not enough is pretty common. Each of us are affected by images, the media, our belief system, and the words that we say to ourselves or that others say to us. Our entire life and ... READ the POST
Does every "event" in our lives have to be eventful?
The gurney was comfortable, the blankets were warm and the nurses were nice. As my IV line fed me drugs to slow my heart rate, one of the nurses joked about not wanting an Event that day. The last thing she wanted was a heart to flat-line in a routine test! It made me laugh, and then made me ... READ the POST
What IF I lived like I was well?
I have a friend who has some serious health issues, but most people who know her aren't aware of her challenges. For years she has struggled with lung disease. She has good days and bad days. On the good days she takes full advantage of her health and energy. On the bad days she takes full advantage ... READ the POST
