I’m a planner, I have a Happy Planner, I use it as a mini journal also adding pictures and brief entries about what’s happening. If I wake up with a chorus running through my mind, I jot it down there. I keep track of specific prayers and their outcomes. It works great for me. …
I don’t have a lot of money, I sold a house in Oklahoma a couple of years ago and put that money in “low risk” investments. I haven’t had the desire to check over the last few weeks. I’m sure it’s depleted a bit, but I’m okay for now. I’ve heard some friends and…
There is a constant barrage of news and social media posts regarding coronavirus. So much information is swirling through our televisions, computers and personal devices, it’s staggering. It’s near impossible to know what’s true and what is not. Mental health experts have three important words for the times we live in. “TURN IT OFF!” …
A social media post making the rounds points out that you have a 100% survival rate of surviving your worst days so far. Those are excellent odds. In the face of today’s news, social media posts and talking heads, it’s easy to forget that. So much bad news is swirling around us. Many of…

Let’s thinkabout Psalm 5:3. It’s my favorite verse in the Bible, said no one ever. Few, if any sermons have been preached on it and most of you have no idea what it says. Me either, until a few days ago. If you grew up in church, you will probably attribute this verse…
In John 4, we read the story of the Woman at the Well and her encounter with Jesus. A familiar story to be sure and one that focuses on Jesus as the living water. This morning I got to THINKIN’ about the first three words of verse 10 and I looked at them…
Thinkin’ on the names given to Jesus by Isaiah, Luke, the angels, God. I’ve always loved the songs that proclaim those names. However, back in the 80’s, the kids at our church did a kids Christmas musical called “The Late Great Potentate”. I loved everything about that musical and my kids were too little to…
In my blog post of July 9, 2019, I wrote about music and how it affected and still affects my daily life, since childhood. Morning devotion times always end in a chorus and usually it’s one I haven’t thought of in awhile. Sometimes it’s not even a christian song. This morning it was A Million…
