Newly Re-Released! If ever I have someone respond to the gospel, it is most often through reading or hearing my story. Many read my book because they are drawn to the love story of my first marriage. Others are curious about the tragedy of what happened. But ultimately, many have told me they have beenContinue reading “Truth To Hold On To”

He is doing what He promised.
The things which are impossible with men are possible with God”. (Luke 18:27) Lately, I see so much that seems impossible, and wrong. How dark the world seems right now. Just turn on the news and you’ll know what I mean. (Or, maybe don’t 😳) But how dark, how impossible, it surely seemed over twoContinue reading “He is doing what He promised.”
The Mathematical Probability of the Prophecies
Do you know these words from the prophet Isaiah were written 700 years before Jesus was born?? Isaiah 9:2The people walking in darknesshave seen a great light;on those living in the land of the shadow of deatha light has dawned.Isaiah 9:6-7For to us a child is born,to us a son is given,and the government willContinue reading “The Mathematical Probability of the Prophecies”
In the Midst of Suffering, seeing God…
I sit thinking of friend after friend.Story after story.Every one of them.Not one of them came another way. Those I know well, who love God so deeply, whose trust is rock-solid, who possess the sweetest peace and unshakable hope…they each have this in common—they came the way of suffering. I bet you know them too.Continue reading “In the Midst of Suffering, seeing God…”
Do they know why we celebrate?
The Messiah sat surrounded by the Pharisees and teachers of the law. The crowd surrounded the place and pushed in. I wonder if the buttoned-up religious leaders had to dust off their shoulders as debris surely began to fall from the ceiling as the tiles in the ceiling were removed. Did Jesus chuckle to HimselfContinue reading “Do they know why we celebrate?”
The Goodness of UNEXPLAINABLE God
So many, who so powerfully and effectively preach and teach the Word, actually have to live it while walking really hard roads. This seems inherently unfair. Couldn’t they be immune from problems and pain? Why do they get cancer, and rebellious kids, and unfaithful spouses? Why wouldn’t a Mighty God protect those who seek Him,Continue reading “The Goodness of UNEXPLAINABLE God”
Conquering Fear
Those who fear God aren’t consumed and paralyzed by fear like those who look only to this world for their hope. In our flesh, we are just as capable of worry, dread and fear; but when we remember what we know of the Lord, we aren’t devastated by the circumstances we find ourselves in, INSTEADContinue reading “Conquering Fear”
When you are hurting at Christmas
So many friends.So many women I’ve met when speaking. So many I’ve been connected to by mutual friends. So many are hurting. I know so many widows. I know others who have lost a parent, or a child, or a marriage. It’s heartbreaking. I’m watching some lose loved ones slowly who have dementia. Will youContinue reading “When you are hurting at Christmas”
He loves them more than you do…
I know, God, You love them more than I do….those whose names are heavy on my heart. I often find myself trying to say or do just the right thing in hopes they would find hope, joy, and peace in You. Oh God, that some would finally just surrender to You. In the middle ofContinue reading “He loves them more than you do…”
“Is it me?”
The One who had been laid in a manger, the One of whom the angels sang, the One shepherds told, and the wise men travelled to see —had grown up to be their friend. Their friend. They had fished together and watched Him feed the five thousand together. But they had also walked miles ofContinue reading ““Is it me?””
She only ever lost two bar fights…
She was a drug dealer. So, how could we have possibly imagined what happened? Everyone in her small town knew just how bad she had wrecked her life. She had even lost her kids. Many, probably thought her addictions too strong, and that she was a lost cause. TooFarGone But as she walked about town,Continue reading “She only ever lost two bar fights…”
Stop. Look up. Worship!
Oh, how she worshipped! The religious leaders plot to kill Jesus. while Mary (the sister of Martha and Lazarus) anoints Him with expensive oil in an act of extravagant worship. But the disciples, they don’t understand. They reason that perfume could have been sold to help the poor. And Judas is enraged. Judas, the discipleContinue reading “Stop. Look up. Worship!”
Which will you hear?
Jesus has been talking about the End Times, being ready for His return, and about how His followers should be using what they’ve been given for eternal harvests. (Matt 24-25) He then starts talking about a time of judgment where the sheep (Christians) will be separated from the goats (non Christians). The sheep will beContinue reading “Which will you hear?”
All of us…
I’m up early. The lights of the Christmas tree glow and the smell of a cinnamon candle fills the room. But, as I open my Bible back to Matthew, I’m reminded once again that this is not my home. As comfortable as it can feel sometimes, this is not our home. Across the street, myContinue reading “All of us…”
Be Ready and He Will.
Jesus continues in His talk about the End of Days, not with a specific date, or hidden calculator as some are inclined to hope, but with parables about being ready (Matt 24:52-Matt 25:13). He says, “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.” (MattContinue reading “Be Ready and He Will.”
Happy Thanksgiving! Blessings to Savor
Oh that moment, I walk in the door at my parents’ home. Turkey cooking. Dressing baking. The aroma of delicious anticipation floating through the house. I want it to last forever. There’s something so wonderful about slowing down and savoring our blessings. Though our earthly blessings are fleeting, there are hints of heaven in everyContinue reading “Happy Thanksgiving! Blessings to Savor”
Giving Thanks
The service had already started when two men helped him through the side door. The old man’s legs did not seem to want work on that cold Sunday morning as they half-carried him toward the front. We all kept singing, but tears filled my eyes as I watched him stumble as he tried to willContinue reading “Giving Thanks”
One of the most debated statements Jesus ever made.
It is one of the most debated of the statements Jesus ever made —“But he who endures to the end shall be saved.” (Matt 24:13) What does this mean? “Interpreters offer three basic possibilities for Jesus’ meaning here. One is that those who remain faithful to Christ until death will see eternal salvation—meaning those whoContinue reading “One of the most debated statements Jesus ever made.”
Sign of the End of Days
Jesus called out the hypocrisy of the scribes and Pharisees and mercifully states how He longs to gather them close to Himself but they were not willing. (Matt 23). He then walks away from the temple leaving it forever behind in His earthly ministry. (Matt 24:1). The disciples point back to the grandeur of theContinue reading “Sign of the End of Days”
The Encouragement of Prophecy in Matthew 24
I’ve been pondering it for days. Years really. For every time I read Matthew 24, I come away thinking, I don’t clearly understand. But this time, as I work through commentaries and pray through it all, one suggestion strikes me as certainly plausible. Perhaps the Word, Jesus, in talking about the Second Coming is intentionallyContinue reading “The Encouragement of Prophecy in Matthew 24”
