For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Right Where You Are
Little did I know the blessings God had in store for me when I decided to rejoin the workforce about two years ago. Oh, I knew full well His Divine intervention is what placed me here, although it seemed unlikely to me that I would be much good to my colleagues, not to mention how I could glorify God in this new line of work. That was all I wanted to do though – glorify God and in some way be a blessing to those I work with. Odds felt pretty slim Broadcast News would be the place the Lord would need me.

You may have been in a store sometime in the last few days, or seen a story on the news, and discovered that there’s a shortage in toilet paper. Amid the outbreak of the latest Coronavirus incarnation, COVID 19, a public panic over toilet paper found fertile ground in social media and has since spread faster than the virus itself. The shelves are empty everywhere. People have been seen in big box stores with mountains of toilet paper in their carts. The more pictures and stories showed up on social media, the more shoppers rushed to the stores to stock up on toilet paper. Fueled by fear, people fight each other over the last package.

Live by faith
Or live by deeds
One is a struggle
One fills our needs
If you’ll give up control
Your faith will increase
Rely on yourself
And your blessings will cease
Lean not on your own understanding
Glorify God to the most
Your needs are well known by the Father
The Son and the Holy Ghost

In Part 1, we began to look at the power of pride. I asked you to complete a Self Examination to help expose any areas in your life where pride might be hiding. The exam was based on only 5 areas I chose to focus on. Pride can be hiding in many other places in your life. This examination was meant to provide you with food for thought.

Powder Puff Pride
Powder puff football is dangerous.
But, not nearly as dangerous as pride.
Combine the two, and you get a 40 year-old woman enduring the first surgery of her life to repair a meniscus and totally reconstruct the ACL in her knee.
Yeah, yeah…powder puff football sounds safe. Everyone thinks it’s just this fun, easy-going, quasi football game for girls. I mean, any sport with the word PUFF in its very name couldn’t possibly be dangerous. The moniker conjures visions of sweet little girls running around in pig tails and doggy ears adorned with fluffy hair bands and eye black in soft pink and made of glitter. These teams sat around before the big game braiding each others’ hair and painting their fingernails to match their jerseys. Continue reading “The Power of Pride: Part 1”
Today is the Day of Salvation
Today is the day of salvation
Why is this hard to believe
Our culture has put man before God
A trick that’s designed to deceive
So many will fall to the pressure
Don’t push me – It’s my life to live
I can’t be as bad as you tell me
I’ve done nothing for Him to forgive
The message is all you can tell them
The Truth is all you can say
The Spirit is what will convict them
Confession’s required this day
Belief is our confirmation
Christ died and defeated the grave
A gift that’s beyond understanding
A knowledge our soul has been saved

The Work of Our Hands
I left teaching – for the second time – about two years ago. I was writing a lot on the blog and for a book, with a couple of other books stewing around between my brain and my husband’s. I was very passionate about my relationship with God and devoted to enriching that with study. I told my co-worker, Misty, that I felt like my job was getting in the way of my work. After praying about it, discussing it, and with the support of my husband, I quit my job in education with full intentions to… “Work full-time for Jesus,” as I responded to all who inquired.

My Dearest God, I beg of Thee
Don’t give me what I deserve
Please hide my sins from the world at large
I’m ashamed and I wish to conserve Continue reading “Peaceful Shores”
