Paint Pictures In Your Mind and See your Future ARE YOU A BECOMER…..or are you mediocre? Not everyone needs a college degree. However, you need to learn a skill with which you can bless others. I was not raised with the following: “Let somebody else do it.” I was the Doer..the Becomer…the Leader. I had no clue in high school what I wanted to do. Neither of my parents were college graduates and had no clue how to inspire me. I was very artistic; therefore Art Education seemed to be the genre that I would follow. My…

On these hot afternoons, they are usually at my feet, as I write; curled up on the cool kitchen floor. They are siblings; litter mates.

Listening to God’s Discernment Eph. 4:1-6 As a prisoner of the Lord, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of The Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one spirit. Just as you were called to one hope, when you were called-One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism; One God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all. As a youngster, I’d…
Becoming Jono Dono Psalm 1:1-5 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners, or set in the seat of mockers. But his delight is on the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of living water, which yields its fruit in season, and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. I was blessed. God sent me a Guardian Angel at the right time in my life. As I sit…

My Boys, Toys, and Other Fond Memories 2 Cor.4:17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.

But even if I am being poured out like a drink offering…
The Tortoise And The Hare Eccl. 8:6-7 For there is a proper time and procedure for every matter, though a man’s misery weigh upon him. Since no man knows the future,who can tell him what is to come? Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding…… we’ve all heard this scripture a million times. One of the hardest truths to swallow is that “God’s timing is not OUR timing.” Right now… We are all losing our minds! However, God allows things to happen for a reason! C…
Never Doubt What God Can and Will Do Matt 14:28-32 “Lord, if it’s you, ”Peter replied. “Tell me to come to you on the water.” “Come.” Jesus replied. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water, and came towards Jesus.
