By Lynn Mosher – “I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.” (John 15:1 KJV) It’s that time of year when many brave souls have planted seeds in their gardens and are now weeding. Me? I’m probably still thinking about planting! Merely seeds of thought! Jesus planted
By Amy Layne Litzelman – Excerpt from This Beloved Road: A Journey of Revelation and Worship “In conclusion, be strong in the Lord [be empowered through your union with Him]; draw your strength from Him [that strength which His boundless might provides.]” Ephesians 6:10 (AMP) On a trip to the
Your true style begins with the inner work. In the beginning of my career I would teach women about their best cuts, colors and styles and then run into them months later and cringe. I was not cringing because of how they looked, but because I knew they were not
The rose bush in spring brings forth its buds with bloom to follow. Then the fading of color, and intoxicating fragrance that distinguishes a rose from any other plant in the garden, as one by one the petals fall to the ground. Gathering up the aged beauty we try to
“I can live 2 months on one compliment.”- Mark Twain. Sounds pretty amazing, doesn’t it. Impractical and maybe even impossible but worth a closer look. Think about how you feel when someone you care about pays you a compliment. Maybe it’s your boss, saying you really did an awesome job
GUEST POST: GENE T. ‘TOMMY’ BARNES “THE WELL” Is there anyplace I can go to avoid your Spirit? to be out of your sight? If I climb to the sky, you’re there! If I go underground, you’re there! (Psalm 139: 7-8 MSG) My grandfather, Daddy Buck, walked with me down
I have an old shoe box. Packed away somewhere. Filled with precious things. Love letters from my pre-wedding hubby. Old mementos. Probably a pressed flower or two. And other things I don’t even remember. I haven’t seen its contents in years. Do you have a box like that? Is it
By Peggy Lester – I was blessed to be a part of a mission trip to Nigeria with some short term missionaries in 2008. We would be speaking at a conference where attendance would peak at 13,000 people or more. We flew into Lagos, Nigeria. The next morning we flew
Sipping on my tea and eating the last of my tiramisu birthday treat, I ponder some questions for you… In what realm do you have influence? Where is your territory? Who listens to you? With this in mind, I realize we all touch lives and affect someone! Either for the
A while ago I was talking with a couple about a particular problem they were having – they both felt they argued all the time, but never reached any resolution. Following my usual pattern of therapy, I gave them a homework assignment to complete before we met again. I asked
A year ago when I wrote this post, a son went from cap-and-gown to boots-and-uniforms. My prayers went where I could not. They still do. Parenting is a faith journey. Sometimes it is a hard faith journey – but a year later, looking back, a years worth of journey has
I was recently at the YMCA, talking to some of my special senior friends there. These women are so full of wisdom, wit, and energy! When I grow up some more, I want to be just like them. One friend, who’s known my kids since they were little, asked how
By Olga Hermans – Self-control is critical for spiritual growth. As a three-part being, Spirit, soul and body, and a Christian your spirit “man” is the most important part of you; 1Thess.5:23 You are a spirit, you have a soul and you live in a body. If you do not
Do Your Prayers Open Gates? Did you know that when Peter was in prison, being prepared to be killed, (Acts 12) the believers met in a widow’s home and prayed the prison gates open? “And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother
In last week’s post I mentioned finally figuring out why I worry. For the most part I have managed to let go of that vice, and as a result, I spend more time in the now, trading the desire to be in some future or past moment, for this moment. And God blessed my new
I have begun a spiritual journey, one which will require a huge change in my way of thinking, behaving and perceptions. My goal is not to change the world, but change how I see the world. The first step is my ego. Richard Rohr in his insightful book, The Naked
How often have you prayed “give us this day our daily bread…, without really considering what you were asking? Our daily bread is not just physical provision but also spiritual. When we ask, knowing what we ask, God will give us our daily bread – His Word for the day.
I have an amazing job. Every day I meet so many interesting people willing to share their stories, and each introduces me to something new to broaden my view of the world. Recently intimacy was the focus of a couple’s counseling session. The wife had been concerned about the lack
In my couples counseling practice, the art of falling in love is often a topic of discussion. Couples or individuals facing relationship concerns feel romance is the first step to enjoying a healthy and fulfilling union with another person. As expected, women usually instigate this conversation. Many women find themselves
As spring slips into summer, I am pondering the activities of this past season. Our family and our business have advanced in ways that are not yet seen to the eye. We have deepened and grown our understanding of why we’re here and we’ve committed to a journey of alignment
