Privileged Indeed

Last night was a clicking night.  That blasted clicking.  When I first fell asleep, my beloved ceiling fan was circling at a lovely high speed.  The power had gone off earlier, but when it popped back on, I was blessed with cool air as I fluffed my pillow and snuggled

Grace

Grace is one of those Christian words we toss about freely.  It’s worthy to be tossed about, don’t get me wrong;  And I wonder if we don’t actually grasp the depth of the word.  I recently read the word grace in Romans 1:7: “I am writing to all of you

No Place Like Home

I have spent quite a bit of time in Psalm 90 recently.  I read a portion of it months ago and one particular verse grabbed my heart and spoke to me.  I had no idea of the actual context of the verse, but it became a jumping off point for

The “UGH Zone”

More than 6 months ago I came to grips with the reality that I needed to lose some weight.  I had gotten in the habit of snacking too much, and eating more of the things that are not the best for me at meals.  I began a diet and I

I’ve heard before about the idea that being holy means being “set apart.” I get the idea that I am to be different from my typical selfish human response. And I’ve realized that sometimes that feels so very overwhelming! How different am I supposed to be? Am I supposed to

The One Thing

I’m not normally accused of having tunnel vision.  You know,  being intently focused on just one thing, project or goal.  I’m more apt to be pinging  from one thing to another in some weird circular, random manner.  I am not naturally linear, I’m not a big goal setter, I’m a

Truly Seeing God

Yesterday was one of “those days.”  Nothing horrible happened,  I was productive in getting a few things checked off my to do list, and I went through the day in an emotional funk.  I will even admit that about 12:30, I gave up and put my pajama pants back on
