Today is Good Friday, the day that Christians around the world commemorate Jesus Christ’s crucifixion and death at Calvary over 2000 years ago. I plan to pull out my DVD, The Passion of the Christ, and watch it once again in order to remember the horrific price my Savior paid so that I could enjoy […]

My Book Review on Peter Lord’s “Turkeys & Eagles”
In this post, I share my book review of the Christian classic Turkeys & Eagles by Peter Lord. This book reveals how many Christians have been duped into believing that, at salvation, they did not become the new creation that God declares them to be. We were born again as Eagles in Him, but if we don’t realize it, we will miss out on the enjoyment and expression of this truth in this life!
Catch the Foxes
Have you ever been appalled at some of the thoughts that go through your mind? I know I have. Have these thoughts caused you to feel condemned and wondering, “If I am a brand-new creation in Christ, how could I possibly think such things?” In this post, we are going to look at the daily […]
Kids Say the Darndest Things
I will never forget what my 4-year-old grandson, Logan, said to the waitress that night in the restaurant. (He’s 10 now.) As everyone with small children knows, public dining can oftentimes be a less than pleasurable experience—especially when our pint-sized dinner companions aren’t getting their own way and/or it’s close to their bedtime. This particular […]
The Greatest Love Song of All Time
If you could choose the ultimate love song of all time, what would it be and why? You may be surprised to learn that, according to God, the greatest love song of all time is the Song of Solomon, a book of the Bible nestled between Ecclesiastes and Isaiah. In the opening line of the […]
The Most Important Verse in the Bible
We see it plastered on billboards, painted on signs being waved by fans in football stadiums and also on some of the players’ faces. It’s one of the first verses we memorize as children in Sunday school. Most Americans have been exposed to what I believe is the most important verse in the Bible. It’s […]
Your Love Story With Jesus Is Way Better Than a Fairy Tale!
It is no coincidence that we in America and other parts of the world are obsessed with weddings. The dream of finding our one true love is paramount in the hearts and minds of women and men all over the world. In April 2011, the world was buzzing with excitement over the impending wedding of […]
Do You Have a Sweet Spot?
Do you have a sweet spot? A place where you savor life? A place where all is good and right and wonderful in your world? Just in case you’re wondering, I’m talking about a state of mind—not an actual physical place. A state of mind where you find contentment, regardless of your external circumstances (Isa. […]
Why I Love Jesus So Much
I have often wondered why the Lord created me to be such a romantic. At times, I’ve even thought, “There must be something wrong with me because of my strong desire to be romanced.” My teenage years were spent dreaming of the day when the perfect man would ride into my life on a white […]
What You See Isn’t Always What You Get
Right before I turned 51, my husband, Steven, asked me if there was anything in particular that I wanted for my birthday. Gifts is one of his love languages so he really enjoys giving them. Most of the time, I can’t think of anything I want or need. But this particular time I told him […]
