Devotionals
Establishing daily devotionals is a key to growing closer to God and experiencing more victory and peace in your life! Take a few minutes each day to be alone with God and prayerfully read one of these daily "devos".
Choosing To Trust
I stood, waiting for her to appear in the doorway and walk down the aisle.
Weddings express ultimate trust. Two people enter a union in which they make promises to each other. Nothing short of death should fracture the alliance. They promise sexual faithfulness and that...
Staying The Course
The white blazes disappeared, but we stayed the course.
The Foothills Trail of South Carolina is marked with white blazes. My daughter and I were on the most remote section, following our guide book and looking for landmarks assuring us we were walking the right way....
Nutrition From The Wrong Place
I do it every time I visit the grocery store even though I know better.
Unhealthy and healthy food. I buy it all. Chips, burgers, fries, fudge, brownies, cake, ice cream, and my favorite, Little Debbie’s. But also veggies, meat, and fruit.

Learning To Listen
“Richard stop talking and listen!” I said for the hundredth time.
He was a challenging student; a bright young man who would not stop talking long enough to listen. I often found myself hoping he was absent because he had a knack for turning quiet students...
The Bitterness Root
Crows know. Perhaps by instinct, eyesight or a combination of both, but they know.
I enjoy watching a variety of birds frequent our feeders and bird bath. In spite of the numerous other places to find water, they love to bathe, drink and socialize at the bird bath....
The Love Debt
There he was again. I saw him moving up quickly in my rearview mirror. A tail rider.
People who ride my bumper set me on edge. I know the law of stopping and speed. One car length for every ten miles per hour I’m traveling, but some people don’t honor it....
First Things First
“Don’t put the cart before the horse.” It’s true. Carts don’t pull horses.
The saying doesn’t concern carriage rides but priorities. I’ve not always followed the advice. I think I know best for me so I tend to ignore advice...
Work’s Goodness
Coins jingling in my pocket and bills resting in my wallet. My money. It felt good.
My parents taught me about the goodness of work and tested their opinion with chores. But I loved work. My grandmother was an Avon lady and took me along when ringing doorbells and saying...
Accepted Not Rejected
Rejection for any reason hurts.
Tech devices hadn’t made the scene, so we played Hide n Seek, cops and robbers, cowboys and Indians, dodge ball, football and baseball (in our yards), and put sheets over chairs for tents. Innocent activities keeping us active....
Rekindled Love
I had all the symptoms: sweaty palms, nervous stomach, and rapid heartbeat. But I wasn’t sick, just in love-or so I thought.
Puppy love, kitten love, a crush. The warm feeling children or adolescents have for a person of the opposite sex. So named because it...
