I go to bed every night these days and thank God for health. None of my immediate family is infected. I get up every morning and am grateful for no headache or cough. I haven’t always been that intentional. I have six grandchildren, the product of my two children. My daughter and her brother…
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.

Habakuk 2:2 has been in my face for the last few months. It is the scripture of the Colorado Christian Writers Conference. It’s on every email and every piece of communication that comes from CCWC. I went to it a few mornings ago to read it in context. I was…
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.
