(A devotional and prayer over the life of a little Wildflower.....) The Dad of a young girl we know recently asked me if I would speak a blessing/devotional at his daughter's upcoming baby shower. Well of course I would! We love Nicole and her Mom and Dad, and we were so excited to celebrate the … Continue reading Expecting…..

Just pondering Psalm 78……
TELL THE NEXT GENERATION -- Asaph wants future generations not to make the same mistakes their fathers did -- their hearts not steadfast, their spirit not faithful to God. They were stubborn and rebellious. Asaph wants the children (the next generation) to set their hope in God and not forget His works but rather keep … Continue reading Just pondering Psalm 78……

Reflection on Psalm 6….. DEVASTATION and CONFIDENCE
Is it possible to make the journey through DEVASTATION, arriving at a place of CONFIDENCE? Is it even possible? We all comprehend this thing called DEVASTATION. As card-carrying members of the human race, walking around in this fallen/broken world, we GET devastation. And chances are pretty good we’ve experienced it, to one degree or another. … Continue reading Reflection on Psalm 6….. DEVASTATION and CONFIDENCE
Reflections on Psalm 102
So here’s the deal on Psalm 102 ….. the afflicted Psalmist is crying out to God!! He’s physically and mentally down…… can’t eat or sleep, groaning, derided by his enemies, lonely, and amidst all this, he feels like God, Himself, must be angry with him. Evidently Zion (Jerusalem) has been attacked and is in shambles. … Continue reading Reflections on Psalm 102
Reflections from Psalm 93, as seen thru a Coronavirus lens………
This unnamed Psalmist is seeing God high and lifted up — REIGNING — ROBED — ESTABLISHED — NEVER MOVED — EVERLASTING!

Yes, the world is … Continue reading Reflections from Psalm 93, as seen thru a Coronavirus lens………
Freaking out……
Remember when life was simple and all ya had to worry about was raw chicken? I grew up hearing my Daddy say, “I’ve eaten so many eggs in my lifetime, I could kiss an old pullet in the tail and not bat an eye”! That would’ve been in the 60’s. By the time I … Continue reading Freaking out……
The morning shouts…. The evening shouts….. and so do I!
A January morning reflection on Psalm 65:5-8 Who even is a God like You? A God who answers us with awesome and righteous deeds? As David said, You are our God who saves us, the God who is our hope, the God who establishes mountains, and stills the roaring of seas, waves and people -- … Continue reading The morning shouts…. The evening shouts….. and so do I!
So what does it matter……????
I came across a prayer journal this morning…. dated August 5, 2007….. it was my Dad’s birthday. And perhaps because it’s the CHRISTmas season, I paused and lingered over it. Journals are somewhat like photo albums,….. only they give you a glimpse back in time at the state of your mind and heart, rather than … Continue reading So what does it matter……????
