February 11
This site has been acting up all day and not allowing me to post. Sorry.
I have no clue why it is typing up in "red". Must be for Valentine's week!.
This past week's study from the James Gang was so powerful that I decided to turn the highlights into a prayer I wanted to share with you all.
Father, may we quit playing games and get well.  May our faith be Holy Spirit driven, active and alive; filled with works that testify to how marvelous and wonderful You are.
Keep us willing to learn and may your Word be our tool of discernment.
Lord, each of us knows our lives testify that nothing is too hard for You to change.  Hear our prayers, as we continue to cry out for ourselves and others who are stuck in a rut of behavior for which we think there is no hope. 
We pray for teachers and preachers to speak truth.  Have them trust in the Holy Spirit for their filling.  Keep our minds keen with discernment.  Have Your Spirit prompt us to check that the teachings we sit under are aligned with Your Holy Word.  It is our heart’s desire to be found faithful, disciplined and hungry for Biblical teaching.
Keep a watch on our tongues Father, may we bite them if they are about to bring forth words that are not from heaven.
When our hurts are heaped up, may we take that load to Yahweh and be healed!
Most of all we ask for help to stay clear of bitter envy, selfish ambition, and disorder.  We long to exhibit wisdom from above, which is pure, peaceful, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, without showing favoritism and hypocrisy.  In Jesus Name, we pray….Amen

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...

Toe Sucking

June 13 If I keep my eyes on God, I won't trip over my own feet. Psalm 25:12 …or allow them to be sucked off by carp!  For as long as I've been on this lake (49 years) we've gone to feed the carp at various marinas.   I have a bag of old bread waiting to be tossed to the carp tomorrow by our grandchildren!   There's a new adventure at a couple of the marinas.  Toe sucking!   For 25 cents you can buy a small scoop of peanut butter to go on your toes. Then the carp suck it off!   I just got a pedicure, so I have an excuse not to participate! What we do need to participate in is keeping our feet on the paths the Lord sets before us. Give careful though to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Proverbs 4:26

Remember Your Story

Our oldest granddaughter made this bouquet and hand painted card for me.💖 Nothing touches our lives that God doesn't allow.  He has a plan and a purpose, sometimes far into the future, that can be used for His glory. (Jeremiah 29:11) Flash back 40 years and I approached life's downs with an "I can't believe this is happening." and truth be told "How can I fix it?" attitude.   Now that I am older and wiser I see that God truly works all things together for good for those who are called according to His purpose.  (Romans 8:28) I thank God for the stroke 8 years ago and how it mellowed me out (okay some of you are laughing, but it really did). And honestly,  I like getting old. Sure, there are regrets, but there is also value in being able to pass along the wisdom learned from those regrets. God CAN use everything for His good. Mentoring moments are what I feel called to at this stage of life.  Working on a talk for a women's retreat weekend, I came ac...
