Choices
Our church’s lesson for this quarter centers on choices. As I started reading through it, it talked about how many choices we make. From the moment that we wake up we are constantly making choices, some more obvious than others; and some that have more lasting effects than others. At the last moment, I made […]
Big changes???
Winter is finally over! I can see and hear the signs of spring. The birds are chirping and have become my morning alarm. The grass is going from dry burnt yellow to patches of green. And one of my favorites – the temperature hit nearly 70 degrees yesterday. With the return of warm weather, and […]
The power of the tongue
I had the pleasure to visit a church to speak for their women’s day. The topic that had been requested six months prior – ‘The power of the tongue’ talking about there is life and death in the power of the tongue and the words we use to others and ourselves. As usual, in the […]
Are you prepared?
I’m still sharing some of the lessons I learned while away – some because I forgot and some because they are harder topics to write on. But alas, I must do what I’m asked to do. As soon as we arrived at the airport in Mexico, we were told that we needed to make reservations […]
Bad company corrupts good character
1 Corinthians 15:33 states “Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.”” NIV One of the goals I set for myself a few years ago was to be abreast of the news. It is important for me to be aware of what’s going on as it impacts my work and general national and international […]
God hears kids too!
While we were away, my daughter met some friends at the kids club. They became her ‘best friends’ within a matter of hours. Gotta love the friendliness of kids. Before we departed from dinner the night before, we agreed to meet up the next morning – but with a very loose agreement with no specific […]
What’s your choice?
My daughter and I were in the airport early one morning. As we had not had breakfast, I asked her if she wanted to stop and eat at a fancy restaurant – or go to McDonald’s. As I knew she would, she chose the Golden Arches. After thinking about it quickly, I realized that wasn’t […]
Our Father Loves Us Too Much…
Last week my youth class and I were discussing what happens by our Heavenly Father when we do things that we know goes against His will: we are chastened. In other words, our behavior is corrected. The Bible states: “because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in.” Proverbs […]
Kindness begets kindness
I have used the quote to end my emails for nearly 15 years ‘It is difficult to give away kindness. It keeps coming back to you. Cort Flint’ and this message has not changed. I have found that the more you extend kindness, the more it comes back to you. My colleague and I enjoy […]
Hold on! Change is coming!
This week was a hard week. It was challenging in so many regards. But then I had to change my demeanor as I changed from role to role from a career woman, commuter, mom, daughter and friend. For each role I played, I had to show up for the part and try to be there […]
