Daily encouragement for Christians
I attended my granddaughter’s kindergarten graduation. She goes to a small country school with only fourteen other students in her grade. The teacher asked each child what they wanted to be when they grow up. Of course, the most popular answers were a policeman for boys and a teacher for the girls. There were […]
Are you a timid person, lacking in courage or self-confidence? That’s the way I went through high school, not because of my academic skills but because I wasn’t one of the popular kids. I was overweight, shy, and misunderstood by many. My parents owned a small business in our little town. Partially due to […]
How do we know who to listen to or who to believe? It seems that every day brings new information that contradicts what we were told just a few days before. The CDC, the World Health Organization, the President, governors, mayors, and medical professionals from everywhere seem to be grasping at straws to find the […]
Do you have a platform; somewhere you can voice your views or initiate action? If you are on any social media sites you have a place where you can share what’s on your mind or in your heart. How do you use your soapbox? It may be a place for idle chit chat, someplace to […]
As a writer, words are very important to me. When my grandkids tell me they don’t like to read it rattles everything inside of me. I try to encourage them by asking how they will ever read what Gramma writes if they don’t learn to read. No, those are not the magic words to change […]
I just finished one more trip through the Bible and it’s time to begin again. Have you ever had a movie that you enjoyed so much you watched it again immediately after finishing it?

What do you know about angels? I grew up picturing angels as beautiful young women, dressed in white, with big, fluffy, white wings, and maybe a halo. The more I study the Word, the more curious I become. It occurred to me that I could not remember a female angel ever being mentioned in the […]
Do you believe everything your brain tells you? Have you ever given your soul permission to call your brain out as a liar? My doctor sent me a video he wanted me to watch about fibromyalgia and afterward asked for my response. I said, “At first, I thought you were trying to tell me that […]
Have you ever been asked to say a prayer out loud in a group? If you have are you one of the many who nervously says, “I don’t know how to pray out loud,”? I think most often it’s because we have heard others pray with words that seem to flow effortlessly, we compare ourselves […]
Have you noticed societies attempt to be all-inclusive so no one ever feels left out? Everyone who runs the race gets an award…what is the incentive to try harder? That isn’t the way Father designed things. He has an extensive incentive package for those who win the victory. Every one of us are born into […]
