Some years ago, I read a stirring booklet entitled, Loving God with All My Mind by Julie Ackerman Link. As a popular author for Our Daily Bread she published several books and articles which encourage setting our mind on things above and not of this earth. It brought a transforming message to my heart. The … Continue reading Loving God with All My Mind (Day 18)

What type of tree are you? (Day 17)
No dairy, no sugar fast Five years ago, when we moved into our present home, we planted a River Birch in our front lawn.

Frantic Flapper or Soaring Eagle
Serving alongside my husband in ministry as a pastor’s wife (many moons ago), presented opportunities where I needed God’s wisdom. In those occasions I became either a frantic flapper or a soaring eagle. More times than not, the frantic flapper emerged.

FODMAP Diet Plan (Day 14)
Yesterday, a friend offered me a yummy looking chocolate chip cookie.

“Feelers” or Facts? (Day 11)
It was interesting to learn alongside my 6-year-old grandson that a box jellyfish has 24 eyes and 15 tentacles and is the most venomous marine animal. As we watched the teacher draw tentacles on her box jellyfish, she commented they could grow to be 10 feet long or more. Sometimes it seems more hands would … Continue reading “Feelers” or Facts? (Day 11)
We Do Not Lose Heart (Day 9)
Daily I continue in the Word of God and praying on my knees for hurting hearts while in my “no dairy, no sugar” fast! The Apostle Paul was a man who served the Lord with great boldness.

Thankful to this Day for the Amazing Providence of God!
Though miracles still occur, God uses them sparingly. Even in Scripture, miracles were not God’s standard operating procedure. Many people assume the Bible is packed with miracles, but it isn’t. Only during certain periods in biblical history were there clustering’s of signs and wonders—during the Exodus, during the ministries of Elijah and Elisha, during the … Continue reading Thankful to this Day for the Amazing Providence of God!
