Well, it’s been a long time since I’ve posted anything under food however, I know I’m not alone in trying new things to make tasty meals – we’re in an innovative time. Everybody knows I love soups and I came across Tomato & Eggplant soup by Ina Garten of Barefoot Contessa (I love her recipes). It always grabs my attention when I come across combinations I would have never thought to do for a soup. Let me show you how…
Well, we have report after report after report – the numbers and the stats change daily. Needles to say we are in challenging times but if ever there was a time to read THE REPORT – that being God’s Word – now is the time. HIS report has not changed, it’s doesn’t shift, it doesn’t contradict itself, it doesn’t grow old, it’s applicable to anything that’s going on today, it’s real, it comforts, it encourages, it directs, it restores, it…
What a question! Who wants to be on anybody’s enemy’s hit list? Well, guess what –YOU DO and SHOULD BE…IF YOU ARE AN ACTIVE BELIEVER IN GOD. If your life is focused on being part of God’s kingdom building plan….if you profess the Word of God in and out of your life circumstances…if you sing praises and worship God simply for who HE is…..If you know how to speak to that mountain and say move and believe that it is…
Yesterday, I challenged us to make a distinction between two types of “spiritual” nets. There are nets the LORD has designed for us to cast and there are nets the Enemy has designed. Know that as of yesterday – the Enemy’s type net was exposed! Amen…now let’s talk about the nets we should be casting. The net or nets designed by the Holy Spirit comes especially designed for you – it has your name on it. When cast out, it…
Just the other day I had a brief but powerful conversation about nets (yes, nets 😊) which made me remember a few previous postings I made last year regarding nets you may want to look at it. (Feb 1 & 16, 2019) Well, the LORD continues to amaze me regarding the layers of meanings HE can bring to what we may consider a simple word like “net”. There are different types of nets used for the different things trying to…
Well, it’s been a while since I posted. I’m going to post something a bit different this time. I’m going to share some of my favorite quotes. Perhaps these can be words of encouragement, hope, confirmation, and even challenge. Enjoy….and send a quote to a friend or family…you know exactly who you thought of when you read it…😊 “Sometime when you’re in a dark place you think you’ve been buried, but actually you’ve been planted.” – Christine Caine “Life is…
This morning on the prayer line we began to talk about the importance of “running our race” and to keep going no matter what. This made me think about a poem I use to share with my students years ago called “The Race”. Several listeners were moved by this poem this morning so I thought to share it on this posting. It’s somewhat lengthy but worth every word. Enjoy. The Race by Dr. D.H. “Dee” Groberg Whenever I start to hang…
Know that minor adjustments, made on a continual basis, can lead to major improvements. Sometimes we must adjust ourselves to conditions that are tough but know that the adjustment is what’s needed to get through the circumstance. It’s important to know that adjustment does not mean compromise. With God’s help we can adjust without compromising our testimony or our values. Finally, know that in between faith and obedience is adjustment. Faith + Adjustment = Obedience. This is something we tend to…
I don’t know about you but I’m not going to make resolutions this year – I’ve tried it in the past but didn’t quite make it to February. 😊 I think the best thing to do is make doable, realistic, “adjustments” to things you have control over. On a spiritual note, know that any adjustment God wants us to make is for our good. This type adjustment demonstrates alignment with HIS will which may require an ‘adjustment’ of our viewpoint…
All is such a small word but in the WORD it’s so powerful. There are very familiar verses that use the word “all” – “ALL things work together for good…” (Rom 8:28) “I can do ALL things through Christ that strengthens me…” (Phil 4:13) “…..with God ALL things are possible” (Mark 10:27) But do we really embrace the meaning of the word “ALL”? Do we believe it applies to every situation, every closed or opened door, every breakthrough, every blessing,…
