Special occasions call for special attention. Way back in the 1960’s grocery stores commonly had promotions to get you to buy your groceries at their establishment. They gave away “Green Stamps” for each dollar you spent and these were usually pasted into stamp books which after saving up enough could be redeemed at designated storesContinue reading “BLUE GARLAND”

CHOICES
We enjoy a lot of freedom in this world. We can choose how we live by making choices that set the ball rolling to achieve our goals…or not. That “or not” is also a choice. We can choose our emotions and how we will react to the things that happen in life; the words saidContinue reading “CHOICES”
Choices
And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and firstContinue reading “Choices”
MORNING PRAYER
Lately I’ve been having trouble sleeping. For the last two weeks I’ve been waking up around 3:30 AM and having to get out of bed to go to the restroom. I try not to because I know I’ll not go back to sleep, especially since the alarm is set for 4:05 anyway. So I’d lieContinue reading “MORNING PRAYER”
IT HURTS
We should always take our pain to the Lord. Have you ever seen a person who had so much pain in their heart that they were grasping for whatever help they could find and they said some things they shouldn’t have?

The more He gives, the more responsibility we have to use and take careContinue reading “Wisdom in Stewardship”
Pepperoni Pizza

I’m a kitchen manager in an elementary school. Our walk-in freezer has a ceiling light that the ballast needed toContinue reading “Pepperoni Pizza”
BIKING? ME?
My husband is an avid biker. He has all the gear, a nice bike, and can ride for tens of miles at a time…fast. For years he has tried to get me to ride a bike but I did not want to do it out in public! I am a couch potato. “What if IContinue reading “BIKING? ME?”
The Elephant In The Room
Truth shouldn’t be avoided but it is. The truth of the Bible is avoided by many believers and unbelievers alike. Truth that opposes political correctness is avoided. So is the truth of someones past; their sins, lifestyle, and bad choices are all are avoided in a room where everyone knows the truth but doesn’t wantContinue reading “The Elephant In The Room”
God’s Time
After decades of being told children need to be kept busy to keep them out of trouble and enable them to live a happy, healthy life, it seems as if we now have generations of people who have never learned to relish the quiet stillness that God requires for relationship with Him. Turn off theContinue reading “God’s Time”
