Empathizing With Chronic Pain Sufferers
Believe me when I say I can empathize with those of you who suffer from chronic pain conditions. I know how exhausting it can be to hurt all the time. I’m right there with you with my fibromyalgia (which feels like somebody has pulled the plug, drained all the energy out of me, then thrown … Continue reading Empathizing With Chronic Pain Sufferers
Procrastination Woes
Don’t procrastinate! There! See, that helps, doesn’t it? If only it were that easy. I think some personalities are more prone to procrastinating than others. Maybe those who, like me, tend to put off things we find hard, that seem scary, or we don’t like doing anyway. Then there’s that matter of not liking conflict … Continue reading Procrastination Woes
Full Circle
I was reminded of something very important today: “It’s not about you.” Yes, that’s the first line from the book #The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren and it’s true. We get so caught up in ourselves and what we’re doing and what’s going on around us, we forget about the big picture. We forget … Continue reading Full Circle
Feeding the 10,000
Tuesday and Thursday last week (June 7-9th, 2022), several thousand people of all ages flocked to Midlothian, Texas, to participate in the filming of a crowd scene that will be shown in season 3 of the wildly popular crowd-funded TV series called The Chosen about the life of Jesus. The scene is from John 6:5-13 … Continue reading Feeding the 10,000
Love & Compassion
In light of this being "Pride Month,” I wanted to share a Rick Warren quote I thought was appropriate: Have a great weekend!
Steps of Faith
Taking steps of faith can be scary. You don’t know how it’s going to pan out. You know you can’t do it, at least not well, if the Lord doesn’t show up to help you. But you wouldn’t need faith to do something you were comfortable with, right? Stepping out of your comfort zone requires … Continue reading Steps of Faith
Talking with the Lord
I’ve been practicing listening for the Lord speaking to me, whether it’s directly or through the Holy Spirit. So, the other night when I got in my car to drive to work (I work night shift) and a song from my worship list or a podcast didn’t automatically start playing as usual, I took advantage … Continue reading Talking with the Lord
It’s Not About You — And Yet, It’s All About You
In our culture of social media popularity, where filtered selfies, making a name for yourself, building your platform, becoming a worldwide phenomenon, putting your best foot (or picture) forward, going viral (internet, not Covid-19😉), and getting the most likes, followers, and subscribers you can are so important, it’s hard to believe it’s not about us. … Continue reading It’s Not About You — And Yet, It’s All About You
Self-Talk—The Battlefield of Our Mind
What have you been thinking about lately? Has it been positive or negative? Have you been putting yourself down in your own mind? Are your thoughts self-defeating or do your thoughts agree with what Scripture says about you? Sometimes I think we’re not even aware of the self-talk we have going on inside our heads, … Continue reading Self-Talk—The Battlefield of Our Mind
