They Matter Nothing

It seems everyone wants to point out the differences of others. Rather than acknowledging, respecting, and admiring each other and our differences, many people take aim to use our differences against us. There is this constant battle with politics and the media to point out our differences and to put us in a race war … Continue reading They Matter Nothing →

I Love My AquaTru Water

It’s been hot lately and water is so important for us on these hot days, let alone every day. We need water to live, right? Now some of you might not be fans of water. I know people who don’t drink water but on rare occasions. Understand that when you read this post, that I … Continue reading I Love My AquaTru Water →

Original Intent

A few weeks ago, I got into a theological conversation with some young ladies on the street while dog walking with my neighbor. I was on Main Street enjoying the evening sun when I noticed the sisters and said hello, not knowing that these women were on a mission to share the Good News. As … Continue reading Original Intent →

You Reap What You Sow

This concept of reaping what you sow has been around forever because it’s how life works. We read about it in the Bible in Galatians 6:7, but we can also see it in the simplicity of gardening. This year, I decided to plant green beans for my daughter’s Russian tortoise and my dogs. I probably … Continue reading You Reap What You Sow →

Brief Hiccups Along the Way

I don’t get hiccups often; however, life hiccups happen more than I would like in my life. A few months ago, I was excited to share my journey of Second Half, Best Half, along with continuing to share Daily Good Devotions. I was rested, pumped, and focused. Then I got COVID-19 and things halted. All … Continue reading Brief Hiccups Along the Way →

Different Directions

Today’s verse is quoted often. It starts, “Do not be anxious about anything” or “don’t worry about anything.” The Passion Translation says it this way: “Don’t be pulled in different directions or worried about a thing. Be saturated in prayer throughout each day, offering your faith-filled requests before God with overflowing gratitude. Tell Him every … Continue reading Different Directions →

A Greater Concern

Today’s verse is a hard cookie to swallow. Philippians 2:4 says: “Abandon every display of selfishness. Possess a greater concern for what matters to others instead of your own interests” (Philippians 2:4 TPT). When we are born, we are all about the “me” of the world. I want fed. I need a diaper change. I … Continue reading A Greater Concern →

Beautiful Gifts

When we think of gift giving, we most likely consider what the person needs or wants, what they will enjoy or use most. We consider if we are going to grab a gift card, get a specific item, or even attempt to make a gift by hand. These gifts we give on special occasions — … Continue reading Beautiful Gifts →

Every Opportunity

Today’s verse is constantly in my mind. Lately, it is a verse that grieves me. Galatians 6:10 says, “Take advantage of every opportunity to be a blessing to others, especially to our brothers and sisters in the family of faith!” (TPT). I think of this verse nearly daily as I ask myself the question what … Continue reading Every Opportunity →

Harvest What You Plant

I do not have a green thumb. A few months ago, I thought I would get an indoor planter to attempt to grow dandelions over the winter for my daughter’s Russian Tortoise. I got a special seed packet. I got really good soil. I decided to use all of the seeds to give myself a … Continue reading Harvest What You Plant →
