Dear the Holy Spirit, Please consume me, from the first spark to a raging fire devour those parts of me that do not serve God’s Kingdom. Convict me when I lose my way, because I will, and I need YOU. Be my compass leading me home. Let me be the hands and feet of Jesus…

Maybe a science fiction writer could have penned 2020 before it occurred i.e.: people alone in cars driving with masks on, and it is hard to spot a bank robber because everyone in the bank was wearing stocking caps and a mask. But not me, I did not see 2020 coming. However, there have been…
Yesterday I wrote about the will of God being a mighty river and our prayer life is our way to get into the flow and power of that river. Overnight I woke up several times thinking about Romans 12, not a specific line in scripture just that book and chapter. I was excited this morning…
How is your prayer life? Why does that feel like such a personal question? Scripture has quite a bit to say about prayer. An index search in the back of my bible under the words Pray, Prayed, Prayer and Prayers has 56 verses referenced which are scattered throughout the Old and New Testament. My prayer…

I wrote this before I started the blog. There was a message at Church this morning that reminded me of it and I decided to share. It is okay to be scared, uncertain or even doubt but lean on Jesus. That is where you will find your solace and peace. I pray that it blesses…
I have been rattled by my thoughts the last few days, like a kitten in a ball of yarn the more I fussed about the bigger tangled mess it all became and I was trapped in the middle. While it has been amazing to see the reach of my writing it has also been overwhelming….
If you asked me what my favorite book in the Bible is, I would be hard-pressed to answer. When read in its entirety the book of Job is incredibly powerful, but I would stumble over many of the letters written by Paul which hold a special place in my heart, and then there is James…
Sometimes I feel the presence of the Holy Spirit so intensely it is like the air in the room is thicker, supercharged and every breath I take renews me. But most of the time that is not the case, while I do not doubt the Holy Spirit’s presence, I do not feel in the physical…
