Weekend Worship – Lay Me Down!
My precious Sumites, I love this song by Chris Tomlin because it's about the surrendered life and the JOY of living like we belong to Jesus. Because we do! We are His and He is ours. This is also what Scripture means when it says, "the joy of the Lord is our strength" (Neh. 8:10.)…

Weekend Worship – I Surrender!
My precious friends, I'm still pondering the meaning of surrendering our lives to Jesus. I've always been struck by how Jesus stood before His accusors and said nothing to defend Himself. That speaks to me of a holy dignity that rises above the opinions of men and sits squarely and humbly with God. The Bible…

Weekend Worship – Jehovah-Jireh, The Lord Will Provide
Yep, there it is. My "new" set of wheels. My dear friends, I've taken you on this car journey with me, first sharing my family's finanical challenges, the need to sell my "beloved" SUV, and then the search for another car. Nothing "magically" appeared but I consider God's provision in this whole scenario as pretty…

Weekend Worship – From a Reader
My precious friends, I don't know about you but this girl is feeling a bit scattered and off track with all the fuss of the holidays and a house full of people. And I still have my daughter's bridal shower to get ready for next weekend! So if you're feeling the same, sit a moment…

I Wanted to Stop Praying
I wonder if you are feeling weary? I know this month we are writing about love and I do have so much more rolling around in my brain to share about love. God’s love, our self-love and loving others. But, now for almost a week, I’m just not in the “mood” to write about that. …

Weekend Worship – A Testimony
My precious friends, I can't believe Christmas is so close! As the day draws closer, I'm trying to keep my heart and mind wrapped around the miracle that God brought so long ago and keep my eyes open for the ones He's doing right now. I want to share one with you. My rep at…

Weekend Worship – Let Your Love Loose!
Like Lynn said in yesterday's post, love has the power to conquer all. As I read that a fuller impact of what it means really hit home. This is something I've known since a child. Not sure how other than God just wired me that way, but I never fully understood what kind of love…

Weekend Worship – Out They Go!
My friends, our wristbands just arrived at my door Friday afternoon and with the help of my daughter and her boyfriend, they are packed and read to go! We wound up with almost 100 addresses-the latest country added was India! That makes 9 different countries now. Wow! So, be on the look out for your…

Weekend Worship – Keep Going!
A few weeks ago as I was out walking and praying, AND having one of those days that I was truly struggling with some decisions and issues in my life, I came across this garbage can on the side of the path. I read the message (which wasn't there a couple days earlier when I…

Weekend Worship – Psalm 150
Praise the Lord. 1 Praise the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. Father God, no matter where we are, we will praise your Holy and Mighty Name. You are our Mighty Savior, our One and Only. You are ALL we need. 2 Praise him for his acts of power;…

Forget the Devos. Let’s Worship!
My friends, I sensed God’s leading this week to change our Weekend Devo to Weekend Worship. We are a community bonded together by a common desire to see our loved ones know God as we do and our hearts are knitted together by a love for Jesus and each other. Lynn and I are continually…

Weekend Devo- What’s Your Mountain Top?
This is the hilltop in the middle of a park that's in walking distance to my home. In the background you see the hills that back up behind the cluster and crowded homes in my neiborhood. This place is my mountain top where I sometimes go to walk and pray-an oasis in the middle of…

Weekend Devo – Blow Away Again…By You
My dear and precious friends, Yesterday I read all your comments on our post from August 6th about our visit with FamilyLife Today. I am blown away and so very humbled. To read your stories and hear your hearts in each one…I cried. My daughter walked in and asked me what was wrong. I showed…

Weekend Devo – Our Greatest Testimony
As I was walking the other day, I had what I call a dream vision. Basically this is my imagination running a little wild with possibility. In this “drimagination” I was with my husband in front of a group and we were sharing our testimony about our faith journeys, walking from a mismatched couple to…

Weekend Devo – Pascal’s Wager: Worth the Gamble?
Have you heard of Pascal's Wager? I looked it up recently and ask my husband about it. I was curious what he thought of such a theory coming from Blaise Pascal, a scientist whose been influential in his own scientific persuits and beliefs. From Wikipedia: It posits that there's more to be gained from wagering on…

Weekend Devo – All the Fishies in the Sea
I saw this SUV on the freeway the other day and had my daughter take a picture of the back. I wish you could have seen me trying to catch up with this vehicle to snap a picture. I promise no animals, people, or fish were harmed in the process. Seeing these symbols made me…

Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good. – 1Peter 2:2-3 Have you ever noticed how you wind up drifting away from your spouse when you don’t spend time together and make time to talk…
