I Go Walking In My Sleep(Sung by Billy Joel) Psalm 118:18 Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law.vs. 26-27 I recounted my ways and you answered me; teach me your decrees. Let me understand the teaching of your precepts; then I will meditate on your wonders. It’s 3:30 a.m. God has awakened me. In the dark, I reach for my robe and slippers. I sleepily saunter across the hall to my “War Room”; have you seen the movie? It’s painted lavender, with mint green and a touch…
Help Them Rise To The Occasion Ps. 10:17 You hear, O Lord, the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them and you listen to their cry. Isa. 1:17 Stop doing wrong, learn to do what is right! Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow. Acts 15:32 Judas and Silas, who themselves were prophets, said much to encourage and strengthen the brothers. There have been many people in our lives that we see as wanton. We know that just a few kind words or actions, may begin a…
Psalm 1:1-3 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, or stand in the way of sinners, or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and he meditates upon it day and night.He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season, and whose does not wither. Whatever he does, prospers. TEACHING IS NOT A JOB…IT IS A MINISTRY! If you don’t believe this, and are just putting in the years, then you need…
What A Flood! Psalm 56:8 You have seen me tossing and turning through the night. You have collected all of my tears in a bottle! You have recorded every one of them in your book. HOW COULD SHE DO THAT TO ME? She even called my best friend to get her on her side of the issue. I felt like Jesus with the money- changers in the temple. I had to walk away and cool down. I had to tell her, ”I’m hanging up until you get ahold of your emotions.” Really, I hung up because I didn…
“I can do all things, through Christ who strengthens me ” Phillipians 4:13 This summer has come and gone in a whirlwind of activity! My family decided to begin some simple renovations to our kitchen in the spring. Well, we thought simple! Nothing major; replace windows with French doors, build a new deck off those doors, close off a hallway, and make a new doorway to the pantry. Doesn’t sound major, right? Well, we got the ball rolling and then we had another layer added to the project. Our daughter decided her wedding reception would be…
“You Know The Lord, Don’t Ya, Hun?” Luke 1: 76-79 And you, my child, will be called a prophet of The Most High; for you will go on before The Lord to prepare a way for Him, to give His people knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins, because of the tender mercies of God by which the rising sun will come to us through heaven to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace. It was an average day. I went into…

Yes, The Fruit Of The Spirit.Is Yummy. Gal 5:22-26 But the Fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things, there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking, and envying each other. Fruit is yummy, I love it so. The Spirit teaches, The things we should know. Many don’t listen. They are all about…
My Dear Sweet Granny and Mother taught my sister and I some valuable Lessons. These are the values they lived by: Love, Live, Laugh, Learn, and Leave a Legacy. Here is the first spotlight in this series. Throughout the ages, love has been the one and only thing that humans cannot live without. Valentines Day was over the top, as usual. My man gave me a card, and we went out to lunch. However, you want to know what my favorite time…
MY WILD, WACKY, WONDERFUL, WEEKEND Lunch With My Ft. Thomas, Ky. Cousins Laughter is the Best Medicine: Granny Laible. OMG! Did my sister and I ever have a spectacular weekend?

wedding in 1948 Mother. Mom. Mommy. Mama. She will go by many names and for many she is a beloved figure in their lives. For me, she was my best friend and anchor, and I lost her, in this world, 20 years ago! My mama passed to heaven on July 31st, 1998. I have gone 20 years without seeing her smile, hearing her voice laugh, chat, and even scold at times. There is nothing in this world, to me at least, like the love of a mother. Except the love of the Father above! A mother carries her child within…
I AM A PRISONER! Live Worthy Of Your Calling. Eph .4:1-6 As a Prisoner for the Lord, then 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. 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.(One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism, One God and Father of All, who is over all, and through all.) It’s hard to be gentle…
GOD IS GENTLE AND HOLDS US IN THE PALM OF HIS HAND. 2 Samuel 22:31 The Word of God is flawless. As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in Him. GOD’S WORD’S TO ME:”I will never leave you. You will never shame me.” LOL! OH REALLY? THAT’S NOT WHAT SISTER MARY NOT SO BRIGHT pounded into me for 12 years. God’s Grace and freedom are so amazing. Too bad it didn’t soak in until I was 50…
YOU KNOW MY HEART. I’m Not Perfect, and He Loves Me Anyway. Psalm 139:1-4 O Lord, You have searched me, and You know me. You know when I sit, and when I rise. You perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue, you know it completely, O Lord. Lord, You and I have been on such a long journey together. I can remember my 2 older sisters teaching me The Hail Mary in French, when I was…
