Just like probably everyone else, I have been lamenting and even been angered about what is currently going on in this country. My brain has been crammed full of statistics, news stories, and opinions. Imagine a hoarder’s house overrun with garbage, junk, and newspapers. I am pretty sure that’s what the inside of my head…
When we look at a problem and when we focus on the mess, it’s easy to get lost in it. While I was reading my Bible this morning, the seemingly dire situation that we currently find ourselves in came to mind. For just a brief moment, I viewed the situation from the filter that we…
"I regard Job 1 and 2 as the strangest chapters theologically in the Bible. The story they tell challenges what most Christians believe about God, man, law, causation, and time. If everything that people knew about God were based on the first two chapters of Job, they would have a strange religion. On the other …
The other day, I was moving firewood from the backyard to our patio so we would have some dry firewood for this chilly weekend. As I was moving, of course I got a splinter in my thumb immediately. It was just a small piece sticking out and, after a couple of patient minutes, I pulled…
This has just been one of those seasons where it has been one thing after another. With each challenge that has presented itself, I have been able to hand it over to God and trust.....mostly. There is still that little part of me that has found it easy to trust because I have mentally assessed…

I walk 3.4 miles every day at the LC Greenway. I absolutely look forward to these daily walks, both physically and spiritually. It’s a good time to enjoy my surroundings, pray and meditate on the things of God. So off I go every day, Monday thru Friday, with my pepper spray in my pocket and…
Have you ever looked at a river? I mean really looked at one…its nature, its flow, its changeability yet still remaining the same? Rivers overflow, meander peacefully, rush down in white water rapids, pool deeply, wear mighty boulders down to pebbles, while gently feeding tremendous trees, providing a wonderfully nourishing environment for plants and wildlife.…
Sat here typing and deleting this post multiple times.. What do I write?Nothing profound or Supernaturally inspired to say.What can I write about? I thought of just waxing eloquent about a Scripture but that almost seems a bit cliche. So I ask myself, what one thing have I been thinking all week? My answer leans toward the…
God gave me a poem that He said would speak to many, so I decided to share it as my blog this month. I pray it speaks His heart to yours. ~ Denise Redemption untold, rejection unsold that’s what you are to Me My words are your Word, none other can speak to you You…
