Daily encouragement for Christians
Do you feel the freedom of everlasting life, now? Death is just the name of a bridge that we all must cross. But, “the Torah [Law] of the Spirit, which produces life in union with Messiah Yeshua, has set me free from the (law) of sin and death.” (Romans 8:2) We humans never had what […]
Season fourteen of America’s Got Talent awarded the $1,000,000 prize to Kodi Lee. Kodi was born blind and autistic, a nightmare combination for any parent. At twenty-two years old he took the world by storm. He brought something to the stage that sent the Spirit forth. Standing with his mom and his cane, at his […]
From the archives: Have you taken the tools God provides and turned them into guilty pleasures? My name is Linda and I stand guilty as charged. I have spent most of my life overweight. I was never very athletic or physically active. I was more the type to curl up with a book or grab […]
It is said that the days of having one occupation are gone. I have read that the average worker today will have not just ten jobs but an average of ten occupations during their working years. I was raised to be loyal to the company that provided my living but apparently that rule has fallen […]
It’s skunk season in my part of the world. My five-year-old black lab was unfamiliar with the species, so naturally, with his inquisitive nature, he had to check it out. My granddaughter and I were outside when she yelled down the hill to me that Jax was chasing something. But, before she could finish her […]

A repeat that I believe someone needs to be reminded of today. After not working for several years due to health issues, God opened a door I hadn’t expected. I accepted the part-time position and was in awe at how well my body was handling it. I knew God had sent me there and wanted […]
What does your view look like? When I am driving up to my house I observe it from the road. I see clutter and think of all the work still ahead of us. When I sit on the front deck of the same house I look out at the horizon. It’s a beautiful, relaxed view […]
From the archives: What designates a failure or success in your mind? My husband and I owned an auto repair shop for three and a half years. During that time we accumulated over 1,000 happy and two unhappy customers. We made several financial mistakes during the height of the recession. We bought high-quality equipment thinking […]
We all know someone who looks perfectly fine but always complains about how much they hurt. Sometimes that’s me. In my hypocritical humanness sometimes I silently wish others would just deal with it and stop complaining. Then I think of myself and how often the groans slip out of me before I can catch them.
