Does it ever seem that the Lord has to give you a push before you participate in some writing event, conference, or opportunity before you actually show up, skid marks scrapping the floor where you just dragged your feet? It was like that when

Jesus referred to this relationship with God as one that is as personal as the one we would have with our own Dad. When Jesus taught His disciples how to pray, He said to address God as “Father”, using a word that translated in English means “a nourisher, protector, upholder”* (Matthew … Continue reading →
Time to celebrate a journey that began with feeble steps, weak knees, and cry to the Lord sort of like Moses, “I don’t think I can do this..” But the Lord said, “Follow me and trust me.” So here I am one year later, amazed at all I have learned and the many online friendships that have resulted from accepting this challenge. First of all, I knew nothing about blogging or how to set up a blog. All I … Continue reading →

Wrote the guest post today at http://blog.ourchurch.com/2010/05/25/31dbbb-day-17-watch-a-first-time-reader-use-your-blog/ . My friend and neighbor, Joyce, volunteered to play guinea pig and help me with this project by reviewing my blog. She is almost a first-time reader. Would have been until I asked her to participate in my project. However, she is new enough to qualify. Joyce and I spent about a half hour together Sunday afternoon while she scoured my blog. She used a gentle cleaning agent. I peered … Continue reading →
Our youngest son has been recruited by our friends to help them with some yard work at their home and rental properties. He has always been a hard worker but is finding it difficult to land a part-time job this summer. The economy has affected everyone but especially hard-hit are college students like our son. Last week, our friends had him heaving river rock so that stubborn weeds could be removed. He worked 4 hours in the Arizona … Continue reading →
I have a friend who always told me, “Plan Your Work; Work Your Plan. Easy for her. I am not disciplined. A “fly by the seat of your pants” kind of person. I feed on the spontaneity of the moment. Then crash when I’m crunched up against a deadline. Everyone around the house scurries to help me make my deadline when we have company coming. And because of their generosity and love, company arrives with smiles on OUR faces! … Continue reading →
Today’s workshop assignment involved coming up with 10 new post ideas that we could spin off of a previous post. Scribbling circles around my paper, the center of this balloon fest focused on today’s post that I wrote: Prayer–A Gift From God. Looking like a chemistry explanation, the center exploded with ideas for 10 new posts. Because I am not adept at technical stuff (and my kids all disappeared when they heard, “Help me with my blog”), I will … Continue reading →
