Slight Change in Publication Schedule

Beginning in June, there will be a slight change in the posting schedule. Tuesday and Thursday posts that reflect on scripture will shift to Wednesday and Friday. This will give some breathing room between posts earlier in the week. Sunday Praise will continue to start the week with Prayer Journal remaining on Mondays. Thank you […]

Together in Spirit

Retrospective: This post originally published March 7, 2024. As believers in Jesus, nothing can separate us from the love of God (Romans 8:38-39). We are connected by the Spirit of God by our faith in Jesus. Even when we are physically separated from each other, we remain connected by the Spirit. As Paul wrote in […]

Hurry Up and Grow!

Here in the northern part of the U.S., spring is in the air. This time of year it reminds me of my growing up years on a farm. So much time and effort went into planting the crops each spring, only to wait once the seed was in the ground. There was nothing else to […]

Prayer Journal–Longing

I long for the day dear God when all will be made whole in your presence. When all brokenness will fade away and we can be one with you. When there will be no more pain, tears, or sorrow. Give me a glimpse today of your greatness, your beauty, your love. You are holy dear […]

Sometimes holding on to the past is to hold onto bitterness, resentment or seeking revenge for past hurts. Maybe it’s clinging to old, familiar patterns of life because you fear an […]

Prayer Journal–Your Ways

You know all things, dear God. You ordained this moment; placed me here at this time and place for a reason. Guide me dear Jesus in how I can best serve you at this moment. Show me your ways. Help me every moment to see you and what you would have me do. Help me […]

Fact Checking Paul’s Preaching

We are bombarded with information each day. The internet is flooded with people preaching different claims about God and Jesus. How do you know if what they say is true? The Bereans give us a good example of how we should fact check what is said against the authentic Word of God. In Acts 17:10-12, […]
