Things Above

You may be a Republican or you may be a Democrat, but I pray you belong to the family of God.  You may not like the names on the ballot, but I pray your name will be in the Lamb’s book of life.  You may have lost faith in the US government, but true justice…

I’ll first start by saying how blessed I am to have a job. Like many, there are aspects of our jobs that are less than desirable.  This week, I had a call scheduled that I really didn’t want to do. Before it was scheduled I prayed that it wouldn’t be assigned to me, but yet…

Today is my birthday and I’m so thankful for more life and the promise that I get to live until I’m satisfied [Psalm 91:16]! I want to share two things that I’ve been reflecting on this week:  Consistency instead of intensity.  I’m the sum of all my years.  Consistency instead of intensity. This isn’t a…

I’m laying on my back, arms at my side, as if I’m on a surgical table and I begin to pray. As I’m praying I think about everywhere I need a healing touch.  I experience chronic headaches so I prayed over my head and envisioned the Lord performing surgery on my nerves and making everything…

It’s so special when you can pour out your heart on paper. Transforming the beats and aches of your heart into words. It’s even more beautiful when you can put those words to music and touch the hearts of the listeners.  I thank God for gospel music because of how it ministers to me and…

We usually have a few deliveries per week, so we created a tiered snack cart for our delivery drivers and put out a cooler that has cold drinks inside. Most of the time everyone takes a snack and a drink, but recently some have been declining.  One day I was preparing to put out the…

Coupons and discounts are my thing! I will search for coupons, save coupons, share coupons with others and make sure before the cashier scans the coupons even if the fine print says it may not work. I bought some really cute boots from Target for full price and then later they went on sale. Target’s…

The verse of the day several days ago was Ezekiel 36:26-27. “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to…
