The King

Can you read the fine print above? "I will walk worthy of my calling."    

In order to keep up with some of our children's lives we have to tune into Instagram to catch the action and fun photos and videos. It has taken me a while to grasp that this means I am going to see a whirlwind of ads and the unsolicited going ons of other people's lives as well.  For some reason it seems that daily a "reel" of Prince William and his wife, Kate, pops up.  From appearances, one would deduce that she has taken to the calling of  being a princess very well.

Do we walk like the royalty we are?  Children of the King!

Somewhere I saw this post of the words Priscilla Shirer prays over her sons daily.

You Will

You will be a man of integrity, character and honesty.

You will love the Lord with all your heart, with all your soul and with all your  strength.

You will put on the full armor of God so that you can stand first against the schemes of the devil.

You will be the head, not the tail.

You will be above. You will not be beneath.

You will be a leader. You will not be a follower.

You will have the mind of Christ because of the Spirit of God lives within in you.

You will remember that you are not made to fit in with the crowd…never have been, never will be. You will remember that you are different and set apart.

You will bless the Lord at all times and praises will be in your mouth.


As heirs with Christ 1 Peter 1:4 describes this inheritance as imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you.  Now there's a reason to shout hallelujah today.  We should walk in a manner reflective of our calling.

She Fought the Good Fight

February 27 Bible Gateway's verse yesterday was: This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him . 1 John 4:9 A fitting verse for the day my everyday friend, soul sister, monster of the faith and mischievous partner in crime, Kaye, left this world behind and headed to her heavenly home. My husband was able to be by her bedside and said he knew she heard the words of our faith that he shared. Her sweet daughter held the phone up to her ear so I could say good-bye and the brightest single star you have ever seen shown through my bedroom window as she exited this earth! Yesterday, my heart literally ached so badly that I told the Lord, "Take me too!" Wouldn't she have been surprised if I had snuck up on her in heaven and said, "Thought you were going somewhere without me, did ya." When we received the call she was ready to go, I called out to the Lord for comfort and He led me to the Bible Gat

Marriage Matters #1

One of life's deepest hurts is when the one you love is unfaithful. Forty years ago, I remember an older friend, whose wife had been unfaithful and left him for another man saying to me..."Boo, I hope you never experience having the person you love and are married to, living 8 blocks away loving someone else." Deep hurt. They divorced. The wife of another friend of ours was having an affair with a fellow church member and a neighbor of theirs who lived 5 blocks away. She moved in with this man and our friend said one evening he was walking by the house where they were living together and saw them sitting at a table having a candlelight dinner. Ugh. The torment. I've always said it would be aweful to find out the person you were married to and  loved deeply loved another.  Hmm. We are the bride of Christ.  Is He our first love? 2 Peter 2:14 says: They have eyes full of adultery, insatiable for sin. They entice unsteady souls. They have hearts trained in greed. Accursed

Are You Sinking... Being Tossed About?

  A text came in from our neighbor recently, on a cold blustery day, when I was home with a stomach bug and awful headache. He said, "My canoe blew off our dock and has floated over to your shore."  And I'm thinking..."And you want me to do what?" I explained my husband was at work, but could help in the afternoon. I went to the window and could see the boat being tossed back and forth along our shore line. One minute it was close to our main dock and the next the winds had shifted and it was 200 feet in the opposite direction.  What I then realized is it had been taking on water. A text came again that he was in his car and driving around to our property.  Climbing out of my night shirt, I put on warm ups, UGGS boots and a hooded coat and limped outside to see how I could help. When I arrived to the shore line, the neighbor had tossed a 3 prong hook tied to a rope into the boat and was pulling it to the shore with one hand.  He had recently had hand surgery and
