New Tricks for Old Dogs
This is an excerpt from the book I am writing, Temple Sweepers: Motivation for a Healthy Body and Soul. I’d really like to know what you think about it and what your greatest physical or spiritual health challenge is. Is it choosing healthy food, finding quiet time, exercise, serving others, getting enough rest, dealing with […]
Sweep That Temple Again
As you read this I am ferociously writing to finish my book, Temple Sweepers: Motivation for a Healthy Body and Soul. I hope you don’t mind revisiting a post from last year which gives an overview of that book. I ask for your prayers as I write. Thank you for all your encouragement. Happy day! […]
Jesus – The One and Only
So, tell me about your spiritual life. That’s the statement I always direct toward a new inmate at the city jail during our Thursday morning Bible studies. You can learn a great deal about a person by how they respond. I can’t think of one time when a lady didn’t begin by telling me whether […]
Facing the Wind
Friday blew into existence on a mighty wind. I probably should have stayed home, but my back was telling me I needed to walk. I waited for the rain to end, but that wind stood me straight up and I got more exercise than I intended. As I got to the end of the farm’s […]
Redeeming Love Has Been My Theme
I read quite a few books during the course of a year, most of them fitting the Christian non-fiction category. However, about once a year a good fiction book will catch my attention and I’ll take the time to indulge. The one I am reading now is Francine Rivers’ Redeeming Love. The copy I have […]
Help!
February brought with it a desire to finish my book, Temple Sweepers: Motivation for a Healthy Body and Soul. The introduction and first two chapters became the meat of my book proposal. They have been scrutinized, edited, rewritten, and edited some more. It’s time to get on with it and finish the other eight chapters. […]
Goliath-Sized Courage
We don’t live in the gym anymore now that our children are grown. Going to a high school basketball game these days is purely for entertainment and not to keep the refs on their toes. Last night proved to be quite entertaining. Both teams came to play. It was the area championship game. One team […]
God of Wonder
We have just returned from a week at Disney World with our grandchildren. There is nothing like seeing the wonder of Disney through the eyes of small children. They were completely captivated by all the music, colors, characters and rides. Watching them sent a surge of young blood coursing throughout my body and I became […]
Intimate Thoughts
A teenager would probably give me a D in texting skills. I don’t know all those cute little abbreviations that save time. Neither do I know how to keep my phone from automatically changing my words for me. I’ve learned it’s not good to have the word “thing” suddenly change to “thong” without me realizing it. […]
Special Guest Post
I know this is not Tuesday, but it is a special day – my husband Ron’s birthday. My daughter, Jennifer, called this morning to see if I had ever thought about having a guest blogger. That was funny because I had just thought last week about asking her to do that very thing, but decided […]
