Spectacularly Small

It’s Christmas season – it’s spectacular in so many ways.  And Blackaby drew my attention with his statement – “The world loves the spectacular.”   So true.  In fact, it seems there is always a contest on for being “more spectacular” with each new production of an item, a movie, an idea or an event. BUT…and

A Storytelling Bible

Have you ever wondered how those powerful stories, words, and word pictures in the Bible have made their way to us in 2022 – to impact us, lead us and guide us? After all, the first stories in Genesis are about the creation of the earth and of man – so that was a long

Wisdom’s Children

“The world is full of ‘experts’.” Henry Blackaby caught my attention with this opening line in my daily devotional book.   He wrote this book in 1998 (updated in 2006). He probably did not consult “Google” or the internet before writing this statement.  In fact, what was the status of the internet in 1998? Only

Let Sleeping Dogs Lie

Ok, I agree with that if we are talking about animals – dogs or cats etc.  But I suspect you have heard this as often as I have in another vein – the meaning was “let’s leave things as they are”, especially to avoid restarting or rekindling an argument or conflict. What?  Conflicts and disagreements

Me? Cause Fights?

You may remember a blog I did recently on “Not Quarrelsome” where I confessed my being convicted by Blackaby’s statement: If you find yourself often quarreling with others, you need to ask God to clearly reveal your motives and to forgive you for your disobedience to His clear command. I dealt with the “disobedience” issue

Need a Leader?

Ok, this is definitely a timely topic – but I will NOT go all “political” on you.   Let’s start with a biblical perspective – a wise source — and it may be instructive in all arenas.  Apply it as you wish. I am thinking more in the personal realm.   You know those friends who

Your Right Hand

The Free Dictionary says the common definition of “right-hand man” is “their close assistant and the person they trust to help and support them in everything they do.”  Wouldn’t everyone want a “right-hand man”?  Even you “lefties” out there?    I wanted more about the origin of this term.  I found the oldest usage is of

After Roe, Choose Compassion

In 1973, I moved with my husband and our 1-year-old child to Pueblo, Colorado.  I was 27 years old and worked part-time as an investigator for the District Attorney.  Pueblo was small enough that we trained with the police department and had a small staff of investigators. Since I was the only female, I was

Ultimate Trust

Blackaby pulled me up short with his statement  “They gave lip service to their trust in God, but their actions showed where their faith really was:  in their military and financial might.”   (Henry Blackaby Experiencing God Day By Day) Of course I have read Jeremiah’s story — and felt sorry for him.  The Israelite’s of
