Transforming the Bag Lady
Thursday night, some friends and I enjoyed being with some ladies in a residential drug rehab facility. Their courage ALWAYS inspires me. Their battles with drugs, alcohol, and sexual addiction often make my struggles seem as small as David standing before Goliath. Their willingness to mightily fight against Satan’s schemes puts a stronger fight in […]
Lessons From a Raccoon
Does the name Billy Coleman ring a bell? If you were in any of my fifth grade homeroom classes you are very familiar with the star of Wilson Rawl’s classic book, Where the Red Fern Grows. No school year ever ended without me pulling up a chair in front of an eager group of ten-year-olds, […]
I Am Free!
So … if you read last week’s post, did you take time to pretend you were sitting across the table from someone held hostage by Satan – someone who knew absolutely nothing about Jesus? Did you formulate the exact words you would say to help them find freedom in Christ? Are these your own words […]
What I Learned From Inmates
Every week, a small group from my church family finds themselves in the midst of inmates from our local jail. What began over five years ago as a way of sharing our faith, has become a means of rehabilitating mine. I’ve been forced to chip away at every aspect of my belief system in order […]
Sparrows, Babies, and God
I’ve been encouraged by the stories of lessons learned, faithful examples, and God’s deliverance shared by the ladies in our Everyday Heroes Bible study. I’ve grown to love each of these ladies more every time we get together. I guess that’s why God put the need for relationships in our hearts. He knew we would […]
Children of Grace Hop and Skip – Do You?
Have you ever had one of those weeks that seemed too good to be true? I have. Many things you’d spent years praying for finally happened. When you look back at all the moments that brought you this far you are overwhelmed with God’s goodness. Or, maybe it’s been one of those years filled with […]
Genuine
It’s Tuesday morning, my favorite day, because our Everyday Heroes Bible study group meets today. I love listening to these ladies’ stories and learning from their wisdom. To say I “teach” this class would be crazy. I’m learning way more than I’m teaching. Last week we finished up chapter 3 which highlighted the subject of […]
Satan’s Stinky Breath
Satan, the dragon of evil, often rears up on his back legs and blows some hot, stinky breath all over us, doesn’t he? At times he scorches our sails and threatens to tip our boatload of peace. However, time in the Word reminds us that God doesn’t allow Satan to give us more than we […]
None of Me, All of Him
Sorry for being late this week, but there’s more than furniture, paint and hardwood being changed at my house. God’s been changing my heart. I recently discovered I’ve been using a scalpel all my life to piece together a jigsaw-puzzle belief system. BUT GOD snatched it out of my hand and had me stand back a few steps to view scripture from a fresh perspective. Once I began reading as though I knew […]
Have-to to Want-to
One of the Bible teachers I listen to online is Buddy Bell from the Landmark Church in Montgomery. In his sermon last Sunday, Buddy told a story I had heard before, but after this last round of book writing it sunk deep into my heart. The story goes like this: A woman married a man […]
I Met Jesus at LifeWay – Final Story
This is a picture from my back door this morning! Reminds me of Audrey Assad and Chris Tomlin’s song Winter Snow. I’ve added it at the end of today’s post just in case you don’t have snow and want to pretend. 🙂 If you live in my neck of the woods, you’ve got time to […]
Quick Update
Due to the weather, the Everyday Heroes Bible study has been postponed until NEXT Tuesday (the 18th) at 10:00. Also, due to the Bass Masters Tournament we will meet at the Guntersville Church of Christ ladies’ classroom instead of the Recreation Center. If any of you ladies would still like to participate in the study, just […]
I Met Jesus at LifeWay
If you have children you probably remember the day you brought your baby home. Your psyche got bombarded with questions like, What do I do now? What if he/she eats too much or not enough? How do I get him/her to sleep through the night? Whispers of doubt caused you to believe you weren’t as […]
Want to Go from Zero to Hero?
Hello, 2014!! My internal motor is revving. I’m chomping at the bit. I’ve heard “Ready”, “Set” and now I can’t wait to “Go!!” Everyday Heroes is just days from being birthed! In anticipation, I’m sharing just a tidbit today. I’m getting a little braver (among other things) in my old age and tried something new. Grin. […]
