Just for Fun Today
March 30, 2021/Donna Jackson/Comments Off on Just for Fun Today

Three years ago today my mother went to be with Jesus. However, I’m choosing to laugh a little rather than letting myself feel the sting of grief. Goodness knows, Mama and I could get tickled about the smallest things and let out a few snorts while humongous tears rolled down our faces. I’m so glad our last conversation was a funny one.

In her honor, I decided to share a little something that I’m sure would have beckoned a belly laugh from her. My heart smiles just thinking about how she might have watched this over and over. If you have 8 1/2 minutes and need a grin or two, you’ve come to the right place!

I hope you get to create your own brand of fun today. Have a most HAPPY Tuesday!

Where Do We Start?

By Donna Jackson | April 16, 2024 |

Mark Keathley’s “Dance of Grace” painting hangs in our living room. It depicts a circle of six children playfully dancing with Jesus. I can almost hear the uptempo music and the children’s laughter whenever I pause long enough to soak in that moment. Jesus’ smile says it all. He seems to be having a most…

Please Don’t Stop!

By Donna Jackson | April 2, 2024

If you had been Adam or Eve, how would you have felt seeing the flaming sword and mighty cherubim blocking your way back to the Garden of Eden?  Knowing they had listened to Satan and wrongly chosen to do things their own way removed Adam, Eve, and all of us from the joy of living…

The Grief Bear

By Donna Jackson | March 26, 2024

If you stop in at a ranger’s station in any national park, you will hear warnings about bears. You will be reminded that bears are massive hunters and keen trackers with razor-sharp claws. Their color and size depend on what part of the country you choose to hike through. Unless they are foraging for food…

Holy in an Unholy World

By Donna Jackson | March 19, 2024

Getting a fresh taste of God’s word fills and thrills my soul. Every year, I enjoy reading from a different translation as I travel from beginning to end. This year, I chose the Day-by-Day Chronological Bible. It highlights how God has written the most fascinating story that includes us all. Each daily reading begins with…

Holiness 101 in the Checkout Line

By Donna Jackson | March 12, 2024

We spent this past weekend in Auburn. Since the rain had moved out and our place was within walking distance of Walmart, I laced up my tennis shoes to get what we needed. With our topic of holiness simmering unconsciously on the back burner of my brain, God decided to create a teachable moment for…

The Push and Pull of Holiness

By Donna Jackson | March 5, 2024

One man in Scripture hesitated and made a few excuses, but he never said “NEVER” to his calling! God sent Moses a blazing invitation to join him on holy ground.  This exclusive invitation allowed Moses to stand before Pharaoh to teach him a thing or two. (Exodus 3) God’s great desire was to rescue his…

Insignificantly Significant

By Donna Jackson | February 27, 2024

The Samaritan woman didn’t know God was setting her up for something good. She woke up next to a man she hoped would make her feel significant. The last few years, all she felt was shame for failing at love so many times. That shame led her to the well to draw water in the heat…

Following the Breadcrumbs

By Donna Jackson | February 24, 2024

In Winston Churchill’s 1948 address to the British House of Commons, he declared, “Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” He borrowed this sentiment from George Santayana’s The Life of Reason, penned in 1905, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”  Other than the birth, life,…

Troubling the Troubler: Defeating Discouragement

By Donna Jackson | February 13, 2024

What do you do when you feel overwhelmingly discouraged? Do you wrap yourself in solitude? Do you reach for a pill or drink to ease the hurt? Do you try to ignore your problem and hope it goes away? Maybe you fear your feelings, so you lash out in anger at anyone who dares to…

How to Share the Gospel

By Donna Jackson | February 6, 2024

In Matthew 28:19, we’re told to go out and make disciples of all nations. This is one of the single most important commands in the Bible. However, we often feel uncomfortable sharing the gospel. Why do we think this? In reality, it’s simpler than we think. Acts 13:47 says that the Lord has commanded us:…
