  • Worry is a Practice in Futility

    Worry is a Practice in Futility

    Happy Wednesday! I pray all are doing well. I share my thoughts today on worry and the futility of it. Futility is a synonym for uselessness, and it perpetuates anxiety. My Scripture reference for devotional this morning was Luke 12:22-26. “Then, turning to His disciples, Jesus said, ‘That is why I tell you not to…

    “For the Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.” Job 33:4 NLT Keeping the families in Texas in my prayers, I am profoundly grateful for today’s breath. If you have read any of my other posts, you can see I am big on gratitude. I encourage you…

    Thoughts for Today: Reflection and Gratitude

    I pray everyone is having a blessed Sunday. I just wanted to post a short post about gratitude. I want to thank God today for His blessings. My breath, my health, and my sanity first. I want to thank God for my family. I thank God for my grandchildren, even though they have been up…

  • Today’s Thoughts: If Today?

    Today’s Thoughts: If Today?

    I pray you had an enjoyable Fourth of July and enjoyed the time with family and friends. Some were unable to do this. Did you give thanks for your blessings? Because it is a blessing to love and be loved. However… You were notified that today was your last day on earth—not tomorrow, not next…

  • Today’s Thoughts: Rivers of Living Water

    Today’s Thoughts: Rivers of Living Water

    What does that mean to you? For a long while, I was unsure of my understanding of what that meant to me. The closer I get to the Lord Jesus, the more the Holy Spirit flows (the living water). I got it now. Jesus not only died on the cross, but He also left us…

  • Why Comparison Doesn’t Work to Your Advantage

    Why Comparison Doesn’t Work to Your Advantage

    “Some people are going to love you no matter what you do, and some people will never love you no matter what you do. Go where the love is.”- Eleanor Brown This quote struck me when I read it. It is a pivotal point for getting through to accepting that you are who you are.…

  • Changing Mindsets

    Changing Mindsets

    Romans 12:2 – “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.” It is said that insanity is continuing the same behavior and…

    Today’s Thoughts on Daily Surrender_06/28/25

    Today’s post is about this Christian journey, but it applies to other areas. Surrendering daily to God’s word ensures change—the key is saying yes even when you don’t feel like doing what is needed. You can call it obedience. God’s word does apply to all areas of my life. You must move toward your goal.…

  • Today’s Scripture

    Today’s Scripture

    I pray that you are doing well today. I was doing my devotional earlier today for Today’s Scripture: Philippians 1:9-11. Paul’s prayer for the children of God, his brothers and sisters in Christ, moved me to consider again that the more I read God’s word, the simpler it gets to understand. When we live by…

  • I Have to Admit

    I Have to Admit

    I have to admit that I am currently baffled by what is going on with the US and Iran. I have to admit that I do not understand why we bombed Iran in the first place. I have to admit that I don’t understand God allowing Trump’s rampage on whatever he wants; he acts with…

    Today’s Scripture_06/20/25

    It is a given that each individual will choose their specific spiritual path. However, the way to God, the Creator, is Jesus Christ. At the risk of ruffling some feathers, Jesus Christ is the only true way to God. The first definition is: of, relating to, or consisting of spirit; incorporeal. The second definition is:…

  • What Are You Going Through?

    What Are You Going Through?

    That God cannot handle. “Jesus looked at them, ‘With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.’” Matthew 19:26 NIV No matter what you are experiencing, God is not hindered by your circumstances. Trust and wait on God. However, I deduce that it isn’t that we think God is unable; it is…

    Thoughts and Reflections on 06/18/25

    Happy Wednesday! It’s been quite hot here in Las Vegas. Early summer and this whole week is in the three digit temperatures. I pray that all the fathers were honored this past Sunday. Where would we be without them? It’s been a weird week for me on the creative end. What’s happening politically may have…
