  • Key Takeaway from My Blogging 101 Experience

    <a href=”https://dailypost.wordpress.com/prompts/key-takeaway/”>Key Takeaway</a> I would say this has been an enriching experience. The key takeaway is that you learn at your own pace. The assignments are great! They are challenging and force you out of your comfort zone. Although there are bloggers who have been at this quite some time, there is always room to…

  • Courage is Moving Forward in Spite of Fear

    Mandy stood staring as she watched her spirit disappear into the floor. She felt hopeless and alone. This week things had gotten worse. “As if they could,” she thought morbidly. The work to maintain any semblance of peace in this relationship seemed futile. She then turned and went to put away the laundry she had…

  • No, Really No?

    No, Really No? “You cannot go, Essie.” Marie had been through this so many times with her teenage daughter. Wanting to go places that just were not a good idea, especially with questionable characters. She went back to her room to grab the basket of clothes she had to put in the washer.Back in the…

  • Faithfulness

    My comfort today in the Lord is so much stronger. It has been an interesting January. The commitment to writing has been mentioned. A narrower focus, concentrating on my gift and being consistent or faithful has kept me appreciating all that He does for me. Faithfulness is an interesting word because it automatically lends itself…

  • Freedom to Rejoice

    Today’s post is kind of short for me but to the point. “This is the day that the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24 (NKJV) Today, recognition blesses my soul and that keeping my commitment to the present, the now is wrapped up in this Scripture. I believe…

  • Everything Changes

    Daily Post Prompt: Everything Changes Strolling to the next shop to sightsee, I see a folded piece of paper that looks inviting. Maybe the fact that it wasn’t dirty caught my attention. This meant that the paper hadn’t been there that long. I speed up a little just to make sure no one else reaches…

  • Gratitude, Thankfulness and Appreciation

    Sounds like these three are all in a boat together, having the same meaning. There are subtle differences in these three words that increase understanding of God being in the details of life. In reading this morning, all three of these words were used. I use Psalm 100:4 to express my understanding these subtle differences.…

  • Intimacy with God

    In my devotional today, I read a post on spiritual discipline entitled “Spiritual Discipline: Do You Have a Chair?” by Michael Kendrick. What a joy to read! One thing that sticks out for me is the statement that what you value, you will make time for. The truth of this may touch a tender spot…

  • True Love

      The poet in me rises this morning in quiet time, devotion and prayer. So, this morning I want to share that God is true love.

  • Lobster & New Year’s Resolutions

    Check the scenario. A large king lobster on the dinner plate. The bowl with the melted, hot butter to dip the crab is right there and you’re ready to dip. The thought of tasting the succulent seafood has your mouth watering! The napkins are on, the utensils are right there to open the crab and…

  • Praise God, No More Whining

    When I first started this post, the title was Realizations…Change Has Come. However, in thinking about it while doing the dishes this morning, I came to the conclusion that I just stopped whining about things and took action. I began believing God and His Word for my life. The realization that change has actually occurred…

  • Music – Ministry and Muse

    I couldn’t hold a note in a container with a lid on it. My father once told me I could sing and my mother told him to quit lying to me. My brother Steve tried to teach me. Told me about the count 4 beats, 8 beats, etc. Needless to say, that is not the…

  • What’s Your Focus?

    Focus. Today’s conversation is about focus. The definition is to concentrate, to focus one’s thoughts; to direct one’s attention or efforts. This is the word for me for 2016, focus. My attention and efforts will be focused on writing. I encourage my readers to comment, give feedback and engage. I have always loved words, reading…

  • Strength

    Strength. What is it and do you have it? The definitions according to the dictionary include physical strength, mental strength, moral strength and a few other aspects of what strength truly encompasses. Today, the focus is on mental and moral strength, as well as courage. When life throws those curve balls, where does your strength…

  • Life and Baseball

    Although life throws curve balls, fast balls and even some strange balls at me, I rise to the occasion. I even rise like the balls that are thrown. Sometimes a little curvy or wobbly, sometimes fast and sometimes even strangely since I can’t always figure out how I even rose from the ball thrown. Of…
