Who’s Driving Your Bus?

Blackaby started his devotional with a verse I love to read – it just gets me excited about getting in on amazing things: “Call to Me, and I will answer you and tell you great and incomprehensible things you do not know.”  Jeremiah 33:3 Don’t we all want to know God Himself will answer us

How Do You Know

One of the first pieces of information I am searching for when I am walking with people through a conflict is what values and belief systems are in place for them.  Essentially, I am looking for what is driving how they view and interact with others in the conflict and others in the world around

SALT OF THE EARTH

Henry Blackaby says “God’s people are His preserving agents for a world that is corrupted and degenerating because of sin.  Your life is designed and commissioned by God to enhance a community and to preserve what is good and right.”  (from his devotional book) Does that leave you shuddering at your task of being a

Nobody Knows

As a young girl in the late 50’s, I loved playing the organ at my grandmother’s house – I was taking piano lessons but there were so many more sounds you could get out of an organ.   And she had tons of sheet music.  Treasure! One of the pieces I remember (and could play

Inventory Time

Not long ago, I shared in a blog my journey to becoming a “Family History Enthusiast” and asked if you were one, also.   I started in my early marriage, pre-kids, getting stories and family history from my husband’s grandmother – she even gave me a journal of her father’s in which he noted how much

Questions To Consider

I give credit to Jenna Christina, a documentary family photographer, for the inspiration and provocative questions she shared in her blog.  Yes, I wondered what that job description was, too, and here are her words:  documentary newborn and family photographer splitting her time between Finland and San Jose, capturing family life “as is” in the

Rock From Which You Were Cut

“Listen to Me, you who pursue righteousness, you who seek the Lord:   Look to the rock from which you were cut,  and to the quarry from which you were dug.”  Isaiah 51:1 As Christians, we ought never to overlook our heritage.  It helps us to understand our identity, and it gives us a sense of

Family History Enthusiast

What’s a “family history enthusiast”, you say?  Okay, I admit that I just recently adopted this moniker to fit the category I fell in.  And I think there may be more of us in that bucket than I realized. In my early 20’s, married but pre-kids, I somehow got excited about researching family history.  I

Ken Follett is the author of over 30 books of historical fiction, also called “political thrillers”, which have earned him legions of fans worldwide – with books translated into many languages.  I just finished the last book in his Century Trilogy – it has set me to thinking about legacies and life stories.
