God delights in every step. Every step. The focus for many is on the success of step(s) taken. We think every step of obedience should result in something big. In this age of social media, we see the blessings of God that others receive, and human nature is to compare lives. As well, when we … Continue reading Every Step

Habits of Success
“If you develop the habits of success, you will make success a habit.” Today’s fortune cookie sounds like it came from a best-selling self-help book. I am a big fan of building positive habits in life, habits that benefit my well-being physically, mentally, spiritually, etc. I have seen that good habits brings rewards. I still … Continue reading Habits of Success
Why Try
We all like to understand things. Some of us like to understand more than others. I remember when I was young and would take apart our VCR (remember that?) and see if I could put it back together. I learned how the VCR worked so well I was able to fix ours from time to … Continue reading Why Try
The New Path
I am not good with directions, hence the reason I love my GPS. Even so, I had to learn some shortcuts for my recent driving. I did this all without the GPS. I stepped out and left the old, familiar traveled roads. It was all about time management. Remember Psalm 90:12. If I spent too … Continue reading The New Path
Right Path
I love having the luxury of a GPS. I do not know how I would cope without having this driving assistance for great distances and unfamiliar roads. The machine tells me the best path to take, the shortest path, the path without tolls. I love all of that information at my fingertips. In Psalm 25, … Continue reading Right Path
I Am Stiff Necked

Jokingly, I told them I am stiff necked, hence the reason I see a chiropractor. The truth is, yes, I have a stiff neck that needed extensive therapy. My lower back … Continue reading I Am Stiff Necked
The Bees Strike Again
I was just the victim of an underground bee attack again. Two years in a row! Thankfully I did not find myself being rushed to the hospital with hives. Like last year, I sustained numerous stings which resulted in intense swelling. A friend asked me why I won’t leave the bees alone, as if I … Continue reading The Bees Strike Again
Crinkling Plastic
As I turned around to head out the door and walk my sister out, I told the dogs to stay. Max and Marci both stopped and stood at attention. They immediately obeyed my words and I continued onward to see my sister out. But as I was opening the door and saying goodbye, I could … Continue reading Crinkling Plastic
The Dog Bath
Giving Max a bath can be quite the ordeal. Since he’s a larger dog, it’s not so easy to get him into the bath tub. Plus he is not fond of getting a bath and I am not fond of cleaning all of the hair out of the tub when he finally decides to comply … Continue reading The Dog Bath
Living the Life Set Out for You
God has a great plan for your life. Do you believe it? It is true. He has a great plan for each and every life. He is the great Creator and He has something exciting and special for each one of us. Don’t look to someone else’s life to define you, to copy, to guide … Continue reading Living the Life Set Out for You
