“New Normal.” It’s an overused media catchphrase that doesn’t begin to describe what we are going through in 2020. Every day there is something new to face, what we were told yesterday will change tomorrow. The normal setting seems to have disappeared. We’re dealing with constant change and uncertainty, economic instability and isolation from friends […]

You Do Have a Role To Play in the Body
1 Corinthians 12:12-17 – “For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one […]
Book Review – Christians in the Age of Outrage
I read Christians in the Age of Outrage by Ed Stetzer, and I would urge you to consider reading it as well. I will provide a link to the book on Amazon but will forgo attaching an affiliate link to the book, as I don’t want to make money from my recommendation. Ed Stetzer places […]
Bless You – More Than a Nice Thing to Say
I just want to bless you in the name of the Lord. Now, you might be thinking, isn’t that a sweet Christian thing to say. Let me stop you in your tracks. There is power in the blessing of the Lord. In March 2020, a song called “The Blessing” hit Christian airwaves. It’s sung with […]
We’re Not All in the Same Boat
I’ve never been a massive fan of shopping. I have always been an ‘in and out of the store quick’ type of gal. You can imagine how quickly I am shopping in 2020. Last week, my friend and I decided to go grocery shopping because we heard that there would be a sharp rise in […]
The Battle Belongs To The Lord
I originally wrote this the week following September 11, 2001. Please forgive this repeat from the archives. However, in light of COVID-19, economic collapse, and the brutal mass murder that took place in Nova Scotia, Canada, just yesterday, April 19, 2020, I felt it was fitting. I can only cry out to God as the […]
As Long as You know Whose You are and Who You Are You’ll do Fine
The older I become, the more I realize how little I know and how little I act upon what I do know. Although I have been gifted with a slightly above average intelligence, I am not always wise. All too often, I reach conclusions through faulty logic that is clouded by unhealthy thought patterns. I’ve […]
Be Kind and Love Relentlessly
The following poem came across my desk this week, and I felt led to share it with you. I look at it daily as a reminder for myself. Right now, our world is frightened. “If someone is panicking, they’re scared. If someone is rambling off news headlines, they’re scared. If someone is angry, they’re scared. […]
Substack Redirected: Warning: Objects in the Mirror are Closer than They Appear
I was going to go off on a huge rant today, but I immediately felt a check in my spirit. And so, this is a mini-rant to explain why I felt led to write this blog. It had to do with a tendency I see on social media where people think that comparison is needed […]
