White as Snow

It’s a winter wonderland in Georgia today.  It was so exciting waking up to such splendid beauty of the pure white snow and the contrast that it creates when clinging to the world around us.  It made me wonder; can I develop a pure heart like the snow that would create a similiar contrast by clinging [...]

Just a Guest at the Greatest Party Ever

Have you ever stopped to think about where we are, right now?  I mean, really stop and ponder the fact that we were not here before, we are here for a very short time and then we are not.  I’ve thought about this a thousand times but never contemplated the perspective that we are living [...]

Birds of a feather…well, you know the rest

I shared a lovely weekend with my husband and also with some wonderful friends on Sunday. It is amazing how much the “Birds of a feather, flock together” phrase is really true.

Careful intentions prevent careless consequences

Just answer the call

When we know that God is calling, just answer the call.  When we  know that God is prompting, just answer the call.  It takes a split second for the voice of reason and human doubt to enter in and force us to hang up. When we ask ourselves, “why me?”, we respond with “why not [...]

Be Transformed

And be not conformed to this world…be transformed…prove what is good…~ Romans 12:2 As we all know it can be difficult to “not” conform to this world.  If we feel as if we don’t “fit in” it’s probably a good thing!  Conforming to this world means putting many “things” in higher priority than God.  Those [...]

Psalm 16 – a guiding message

After seeking some counsel from Pastor Jeff, I get the most profound insight from a scripture that he recommended.  The Second Half Journey is certainly a great blessing but if we let our “worldly” thoughts and actions overtake us, we can get frustrated, confused and anxious about the future of this path.  Letting go of [...]
