Growing in intimacy with God |
Bridezilla Strikes Again! I found this hilarious clip on a photographer’s website. If I lived in Atlanta, I would seek her out because first of all, she is a good photographer and secondly, she has a sense of humor! She describes better than I could what a bridezilla really is all about: Read more
I wonder sometimes, how much the generation of technology is missing out on with the cessation of personally written letters. I realize that computers are great in their own way, texting is sly and sending instant pictures can lift someone’s day. But what about later in life, when the person you love might no longer be there? That is the moment when a handwritten, yellowed-with-age letter reaches out and hugs you Read more
I didn’t write on my blog for a while this winter because I was busy making some costumes. Bob and Michelle Illes, the children’s pastors at Life Church, Roscoe, IL are really good at putting together skits (both puppet and live) as tools to teach about the gospel of Jesus. They asked me to make the costumes for a couple of different skits they were currently working on. I will include at the end the video but I don’t know if Read more
Stasi Eldredge has a blog which I found online last week after reading her book “Captivating”. She titled her most recent entry, “Rolling in Dead Things” in which (please click on this link and go and read it, it is really good and insightful), she refers to taking her dog on a walk. Eventually he runs off and rolls in something dead he finds in the bushes and she ponders why a dog would do something that gross. I have been reading her book and because there is so much truth in it, it is agitating all kinds of lies which apparently need to be cleaned out of my heart. I once wrote Read more
Thought this post would be a continuation about victory but haven’t got that far just yet. As a matter of fact, I think I have gone kinda downhill since then. There is an old saying that depends on what sex you are (male or female) and it goes , “Men (or women). You can’t live with them and you can’t live without them.” This week, I could very probably live without them Read more
Have you ever heard the phrase when you are going through a really hard time in your life referred to as the ‘Dark Night of The Soul’? I believe that when you hit mid-life, the time could possibly be referred to instead as, “The Hour of My Discontent.” Your children are growing up steadily now and don’t really depend on you as much, your house is established, decorated and frankly has way more unnecessary stuff than Read more
Someone I once knew from a previous church I attended told me this little ditty:
The best definition I ever heard regarding Read more
Tonight I sit in a Pennsylvania campground. We were running out of the firewood we originally bought so I ran into the woods and grabbed some more to keep the fire going. It’s almost midnight. The flashlight kept me on track (like a light unto my path), as I searched for branches to burn. I was afraid to go far into the woods because I figured a deer might jump out and it would startle me so bad I might pee my pants! (At my age it doesn’t take much to pee your pants anymore! lol) Read more
So many times we hear and read books that abound about the subject of inner healing. Most of us, (particularly the really practical people) would just as soon not deal with our past and simply move on. However there are times when we have to face memories that need healing so that change can take place within the daily habits of our lives. We don’t need to ‘park’ there, but we do need to understand at a deeper level why we do the things we do. We need to conquer fear.
Wouldn’t it be realistic to see a wedding ceremony where a groom Read more
Every area of our life oftentimes comes down to one word ~ trust. Do we trust God with the details contained within? Sadly, although many of us claim to, deep down we don’t. This is the very reason for the trials in life which refine our faith. On certain days, fantasy collides with Read more
