In the Wee Hours
A few weeks ago, I woke up to a melody of a song, in the wee hours of the morning. I had the melody, but the words were vague to me. After days of this melody playing in my brain, I tried to formulate some of the words and went to YouTube. It was not […]
Going the Distance
As I sat patiently waiting for my topic, it wasn’t until I opened my email and the New York Times email about ‘Marathons’ that I knew my title. Then I saw the title ‘Going the Distance’ and knew where today’s topic was headed. Today is the New York Marathon. It is one of the hardest […]
Tracking My Package
A few days ago, my daughter asked me to order something from Amazon for her. I don’t recall why, but I didn’t order it right away. When she reminded me and I did order it, the expected delivery date was in two days. She explained that if I had ordered sooner, she would’ve had it […]
A Front Row Seat
As I contemplated today’s topic, I realize this is actually part of the process I enjoy. It forces me to pause and reflect on some of the things the Lord has done during the week and to ask what it is that I should share. More often than not as I’m sharing the topic, I’d […]
Before the Holidays Hit: 7 Money Moves to Make Now

Hold Your Tongue
Have you ever felt the urge to respond to a statement or a question in a snarky manner? I’m guessing we all have at some point in our lives. A sarcastic or snarky tone are some of the ways we use to get our displeasure across. As I was going through my devotional Bible, a […]
A Gentle Whisper
As I jokingly wondered if today would be the day that I would send out a blog that says ‘I’m too tired to think of anything. I’ll see you next week.’ I chuckled to myself: will today be the day that the Lord does not provide a blog post? I don’t think it happens very […]
Carry Each Other’s Burdens
This past week, I had a troubling situation that I did not know how to resolve on my own. I also felt the need to talk it out and to express my frustration. In the past, I would be someone who would carry things very close to the vest and not express what was happening […]
Wisdom is Supreme
This morning, the topic of Wisdom is heavy on my heart and mind. It’s quite possible that it’s because I had been tasked with praying for wisdom for our church group. Or, that I had also started a devotion centered on wisdom. Whatever the reasoning, this morning I am deeply pondering wisdom, but not as […]
Do You Really Need Life Insurance?
September is National Life Insurance Awareness Month, so I thought it fitting to reshare this article, originally written https://www.christianfinancialadvisorsnetwork.com/blog/do-you-really-need-life-insurance . Life Insurance is one of the topics that is particularly sensitive to me. Why, you might ask? And that would be a very fair...
