I recently did a post where I spoke about coffee, and how we can relate our faith to a cup of coffee. Many of you commented that you loved the devotion, and I even heard back from one reader, where the devotion was used at her church. Her husband was doing the meditation devotional, and he referenced…
I have had two friends this week tell me about an issue that was weighing heavy on their minds. Both friends talked a little about their problems, and ended up with a prayer of “Thy will be done.” The first friend was concerned for a daughter who was in an abusive relationship. She felt helpless…
How do you like your cup of coffee? I know everyone has a different answer to that question. And if you go to Starbucks, the different answers would probably floor most of us. I drink mine with french vanilla creamer, I usually refer to this as “children’s coffee.” I take a little coffee with my…
How many times have you done something that you know better, but still do? I think this is something that all of us can relate to in one way or another. I unfortunately can relate really well. I recently, (this week), had one of these moments. My daughter is in visiting and she is attending…

He is my Savior! He is my Lord! That is what I always think about when I think about God. I am so thankful for everything that the Lord has provided. But, I tend to think of Him in just these two settings. Sending His son to earth, extending grace, showing forgiveness and showering us…
Do you also struggle with worry? This has to be the hardest commandment for me to obey. When Jesus said, “Do Not Worry“, it was not a suggestion, it was a commandment! In Matthew 6:34 of the NIV, Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble…
I am sitting here this morning with all kinds of thoughts swirling through my mind. The horrible actions of the past few days have me feeling a little more depressed about the state of our nation than normal. I am definitely a glass is half-full kind of girl, but I am having a hard time…
