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
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

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
Missing Heaven
I’m going to step out and say something very unpopular in today’s culture: many people are going to miss out on going to heaven.
I know. That makes me intolerant, discriminatory, and close-minded, right?
