Daily encouragement for Christians
Have you abandoned a good habit that you need to pick back up? Before I started writing a daily message I would go through my social media contacts and ask people how I could pray for them–not to be nosey or gossip, just general direction. Some people never responded, most of those who […]
I recently heard a police officer being questioned about the biggest issue the department is currently dealing with. He answered: “Domestic violence calls.” I hadn’t thought much about that yet but of course, it made perfect sense. Many of our homes include at least one person, if not an entire household of people, who want […]
Most of us these days are getting a first-hand experience of what a “stay-cation” with our family would truly look like. That is unless you are considered an essential employee, which likely means that you are working harder than ever. Are you concerned for yourself or someone else who is working on the front lines?

I know in my heart that Father called me to be a writer, not of fiction but only truth; as he reveals it to me. It is my habit to meet with him in the pre-dawn hours to discover the message for the day. Some days, like yesterday, I struggle to hear clearly. Today Father […]

The most time-consuming issue in the news right now is the Coronavirus. Older people are being advised not to leave home if they don’t have to and young people who are sick should not visit their parents or grandparents. The CDC doesn’t want anyone shaking hands or hugging. Many places are having their employees work […]
Who has been allowed to train you in the ways you should or should not behave: your parents, teachers, friends or perhaps commercials? There is a local attorney’s commercial that disturbs me every time I hear it. It begins by announcing: “Here in (fill in your town) we see things a bit differently. If you’ve […]
Have you ever been so hurt and angry that you refused to let anyone point you back to God? I had a neighbor who was anxiously awaiting the birth of her first grandbaby–a little girl. Her daughter was in the delivery room and she was bubbling over with anticipation when the doctor approached her to […]
Proverbs 3:5-6 Have you ever found yourself in a situation way over your head? How did you get there and how did you get through it? Several years ago my girlfriend was dying and not being properly cared for at home. I knew I had to take her into my home and care for her. […]
