I thought I had spent sufficient time contemplating and preparing this change in lifestyle, this moving from land to the Caribbean water paradise. I thought I was a loner. I thought I liked solitude. I thought I loved adventure and mystery. I thought I was ready to do something other than work (job). I think… [Read More]
How about some Clear Direction??
Are you like me and really struggle to hear clear direction from God?? Yesterday afternoon was spectacular!! The sun was warm, the breeze was whooshing thru the trees and all was well! I looked up and what did I see?? This: A great big arrow in the sky pointing south! I think I am getting… [Read More]
Beautiful Mountains of Southern Colorado

I am spending this week high in the Sawatch mountains of southern Colorado! God is putting on a spectacular show for me! I am not far from Salida, CO on BLM managed land and am up at about 8,100′ of altitude. The overnight lows are still very comfortable but one can feel that winter is not… [Read More]
Thankful
I heard a fabulous sermon this pas Sunday! Ironically, it was about being thankful. I think I am a pretty thankful person. I certainly do not believe that I deserve the many, many blessings that I have and I think I thank God for these things pretty regularly. However; I am not a very vocal… [Read More]
Faith?
Give the following article a read and then tell me who has more faith – an atheist/evolutionist or one the believes in God and intelligent design! http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2012/07/14/13-incredibly-lucky-earth-facts/ For someone to believe that all these things (plus millions/billions more) accidentally occurred in the exactly necessary way and time, they must have REAL faith. Sorry, it’s hogwash –… [Read More]
Like Children
“I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” – Mark 10:15 I was at a study a few weeks ago where one person was really hung up on understanding every Biblical concept. I really enjoy historical context and word studies but… [Read More]
Happy Birthday Jesus!
There is always great debate in the United States over many things. This time of year it is over the reason for the Christmas holiday. Too bad as this is a wonderful time of year but people instead choose to turn it into disagreement, argument, and even conflict. Thankfully, this is another of the topics that is very easy… [Read More]
Tomorrow Is a Gift
Sometimes it can be hard to remember how blessed I am. It is so easy to be consumed with the “problem” of the moment. It used to be job/career, finances, home maintenance, car maintenance, etc… that took me away. Many blessings were with me on those days and instead I focused on the problems. I… [Read More]
Rejoice!
This past Sunday, one of the scriptures referenced was Philippians 4:4-9. Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the… [Read More]
Pursuits of the Heart
A heart that pursues those that God’s heart pursues. What a beautiful image. I heard this quote several weeks ago and it has stuck. It is wonderful goal for one’s own heart. There can be no doubt that “life” causes us to be so “busy” that we never have time to focus on what really… [Read More]
