POD #11: The Farmer's Worldview I have a motto, "The only thing constant is change." Not that change is always easy, but endings are normal. That doesn't mean endings are not painful but they are usually necessary. Endings open the door for new beginnings. There is a commitment I know that I need to end - it is over... Continue Reading →
Resistance Genome
TPOD #7: Your Resistance Genome I read the prompt this morning, and decided I wasn't ready to conquer my resistance genome. I set my phone down, rolled over, put the blanket over my head and went back to sleep. Of course, the prompt was still there three hours later, and being a task oriented person... Continue Reading →
The Crowned Queen
POD #6: Your Royal Highness: There was a time in my life that I thought I was the crowned queen of the world. It was a fantasy world that many of the members allowed me to fill. Yes, my world was small, but I believed that it revolved around me. When I became a mother,... Continue Reading →
Intended for Good
POD #3: Third Time’s a Wrap A few years back I found myself telling a story of my life, it was for a good cause. I knew it was a story woven to raise money and that it could tug at the heart-strings of even Scrooge. It was my story to tell, and could be... Continue Reading →
No Condemnation
I've been thinking a lot about condemnation - the guilt, not fear, that keeps people from stepping out. Guilt of past actions and inactions. We sin too much or have not done as much for the kingdom as we think we should. But God doesn't look at it the way that we do. There is no condemnation... Continue Reading →
Let down your nets
There are so many Kingdom principles that don't make sense, and yet work. God can do more through a moment of obedience, than we can do in a lifetime of professional work. Imagine being an expert fisherman and toiling all night without any luck. Then along comes a rabbi. He tells you how to do a... Continue Reading →
Help and Shield
I was watching a television show the other night and there was a protest going on. On one side people were yelling at the police for not doing enough. The other group of people were yelling because the police were interfering. In the middle stood the police standing to protect those who are fighting against them and acting as a shield to...

Point of View
I was listening to Matthew 16 on the drive to work: 21 From then on Jesus began to tell his disciples plainly that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem, and that he would suffer many terrible things at the hands of the elders, the leading priests, and the teachers of religious law. He... Continue Reading →
Power and Strength
Isaiah 40:29 contains a powerful statement. God gives power to the weak. God gives strength to the powerless. Power is defined as: 1)the ability to do something or act in a particular way, especially as a faculty or quality 2)the capacity or ability to direct or influence the behavior of others or the course of...

Stop
Last month my husband bought me a new truck. Prior to getting it, I had only driven a truck twice, and have driven a small car for the past four years. It is definitely taking some getting use too in the driving department. One thing I have really enjoyed about this truck is the dashboard has... Continue Reading →
