  • Just Two Little Fish

    Just Two Little Fish

    I come into the presence of my Father, empty-handed, basking in His grace and His greatness. There is nothing more I must do to earn His affection, but like the daughter I am I want to please my Heavenly Daddy.  Yet, I come empty-handed.  I am a small, simple soul—perhaps too small.  Words spoken to…

    Part 3/3 Job 11:7-8  Can you find out the deep things of God?  Can you find out the limit of the Almighty?  It is higher than heaven—what can you do? I joyfully place my small, simple soul in the hands of my loving, limitless God.  But what does it mean when I refer to God…

  • After the Dust Settles

    Psalm 19:7  The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul. After a particularly traumatic period in my life—one that stretched through several years—I found myself feeling rather shattered inside.  In the midst of all the fear and heartache, I had desperately clung to Jesus, and He had ever so faithfully seen me through. …

  • Glory Days

    PART 3 OF 3 At a national competition, my son’s trap-shooting team won second place.  The entire team along with coaches were called onto the field and presented plaques.  They were lined up under bright lights, and official photos were taken.  It was a big moment.  Many weeknights of practice and long weekends of competition…

  • A Better Shield

    PART 2 OF 3 I am a “retired” taekwondo instructor.  When we sparred, we wore special gear to protect ourselves.  We had helmets, chest protectors, gloves, and kicks.  The gloves and kicks helped protect not only ourselves, but our opponent, while the helmet and chest protector gave some protection to our most vulnerable targets.  We…
