A Broken Record

Many of us have heard the expression, “they sound like a broken record”. Well, this morning that is what I said to the Lord. I just cried out, “Lord, I know I sound like a broken record….” Then all of a sudden the Truth welled up inside...

Peace Be With You

We are continuing in the Book of John today. Each day it seems I am getting new insights into this book from the beloved disciple. Let’s look at today’s verses, “On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the...

The folded napkin

“Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying there, and the face cloth, which had been on Jesus’ head, not lying with the linen cloths but folded up in a place by itself.” John 20:6-7 Can you imagine...

Do you know Jesus loves YOU?

Today I want to look at a familiar Chapter in our Bibles,  John 20. Sometimes the very chapters in our Bibles that we have read many times before, that we have marked and underlined countless times, speak a fresh Word over us. For the next several posts we will be...

A Short Story

This morning I want to share a short story with you, a bit of fiction( or is it?) to show you how light always dispels the darkness. We serve a Savior who has won the Victory and according to Colossians 2:15, “He has disarmed the rulers and authorities and put...

The Posture of Jesus

While reading John 8 this morning I came to the familiar passage of the woman caught in adultery. This time was different because when I read the second half of verse 6, the Lord began to speak to me.  “Jesus bent down and wrote with His finger on the ground.”...

It's Always the Little Things…

Nothing makes me happier than transforming spaces! Taking a room inside a home or an outdoor area, and nudging it to experience metamorphosis is not only exciting, but unbelievably rewarding. With my own set of tools and skills, I like (no, I LOVE) the challenge of...
