Then he asked me, “Son of man, can these bones become living people again?” “O Sovereign Lord ,” I replied, “you alone know the answer to that.” Then he said to me, “Speak a prophetic message to these bones and say, ‘Dry bones, listen to the word of the Lord ! So I spoke this... Continue Reading →
Lead the Way
God has placed on my heart a burden for marriages in the church. It comes in waves, but when it hits I can hardly move under the weight of it. At times I feel like it us a selfish burden, but it is there none the less. I pray until the burden breaks, which... Continue Reading →
Branding
As water reflects the face, so one’s life reflects the heart. Proverbs 27:19 Living in a primarily retail community, I hear a lot about "branding" in the world surrounding me. When I was a child, in the same community, "branding" was what you did to a cow. If the cow got out of the fence, the... Continue Reading →
One Thing
As I was praying the other day, I had the oddest picture pop into my head. Initially I felt like it was a distraction, but then I focused in on it. The picture was of a Dr. Seuss character "Thing One." Of course there is also "Thing Two" which was a distraction. I paused a moment... Continue Reading →
Lessons from Hacksaw Ridge
Last night I watched a surprisingly excellent movie. I say surprisingly because I am not a war/combat movie fan. As a child, I was forced to watch way too many war movies and westerns, so generally they are not my idea of a something I want to watch. I am grateful to the men and... Continue Reading →

There's nothing refreshing... Continue Reading →
Restoring Process
I love home restoration shows. I remember when I first discovered them, there was Extreme Home makeover, Color Splash and Design on a Dime. Now I love watching Fixer Upper, Love it Or List It, Flip or Flop and Property Brothers. Making something old and run down look brand new and amazing. There is something about... Continue Reading →
Know Thy Self
"You don't know someone until you know what they want." It was a quote in a movie playing on the television. I suppose it caught my attention because I have been searching for what I truly want in life. The statement made me pause, because if I'm honest, maybe I don't really know myself. I feel...

Running from the enemy
There's a story on 2nd Samuel chapter 15-19 that begins with David running from his son. Absalom was attempting to take the kingdom of Israel from David. As I listened to the story, I thought "Why is the king running?" David was the king. He had all power and authority. Yet he ran to avoid war with his son Absalom,... Continue Reading →
Luxury Properties
POD #30: 3 Luxury Properties Location, Location, Location, that is what immediately comes to mind when I think of luxury properties. My husband and I have been looking at vacation properties in Puerto Rico, with his long-term goal being to move there permanently. I think that it is more vacation-itis because we went there last...
