Therefore, encourage each other with these words. I was raised on Weller Rd. in what is now Montgomery, a northern suburb of Cincinnati. We…

Once You Get It! PSALM 139:1-3 O Lord, You have searched me and know me. You know when I sit down, and when I rise up. You understand my thought from afar. You scrutinize my path and my lying down. You are intimately acquainted with all my ways. Oh! LOLOLO…The title is from a 1960’s breakfast commercial. This Lil root’n’toot’n cowboy would say, “Wake up you rattlesnake! I want my Maypo!” What’s so funny? I reiterate the greeting every morning, as I give my beloved sister her wake-up call. OK….. Down…

Psalm 3:5 I lie down and sleep; I awake again because The Lord sustains me. Psalm 4:8 I lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety. We’ve all been there and done that: the job, the marriage, the kids, the divorce, the demise, the birth, the game, the farm, the weather, the finances, pissy siblings/friendships, the business. Sleepless nights, tossing and turning: Last night was one of them. It was totally my fault. I took a nap, and had a high caffeine choco-brownie right before I went…
1 Cor. 6:19-20 Do you not know that your body(and mind) is a temple of the Holy Spirit? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.” WOW! That took guts!
