Another beautiful day. Cold. Windy. I actually have the windows open. Good church this morning. Worship was good, and the word. One of our elders taught and he exhorted us to love one another, not judge, reminding us we are all individuals before the Lord. Song of Solomon 6:9 says, “But my dove, my perfect one, is unique. She is …
Georgia On Her Mind
I have a title! I’m so excited. The Steeple Hill Cafe team is brilliant. “Georgia On Her Mind” is the title for my upcoming release. In stores near you August ’06. Now to make the story as brilliant. 😉 I like Macy’s story a lot, I do. Even for one who’s read and edited it about five times now. Krista’s …
Transendent Beauty of the Divine
Midnight. Sitting in the bath tub. Reading. Relaxing. Gotta go to bed, but just one more page. The book is Marian Keyes “The Other Side of The Story.” One of her characters, Lily, has fallen in love with a beautiful house, but she knows they can’t afford it. She says, “It’s like coming face-to-face with the transendent beauty of the …
So beautiful today
Wow! Today is so beautiful. Absolutely. I love it. I’ve had the top down on the car for three days. Opened the house, flicked on the ceiling fans, shut off the air. So nice. So nice. Fell asleep in Tony’s chair pondering a dream I had a few nights ago. All kinds of symbols. I need revelation from the Lord …
I’m making chili
Yeah, it’s one of the few things I make. Chili. We’ll have a bowl and watch the Final Four. What a nice Saturday night. Last night at our Fire Dweller prayer meeting, I shared my Awake Sleeper word as a focus for prayer. Don exhorted the room after me saying that Zion’s afternoon prayer meeting centered on the same Awake …
When I was in 7th Grade
My P.E. teacher, Miss Somebody, wrote in my autograph book (hey, it was in ’73) “You could be a real star if you apply yourself.” Ah! What? Meany. That pissed me off. But deep down, I knew what she meant. I sandbagged. Did the minimum required. I could have been a great basketball player if I tried harder. But I …
Awake O Sleeper
I awoke because someone shook the bed, as if standing at the foot and pressing hard on the mattress several times. It couldn’t be Tony moving around, or Jack who sleeps at our feet. It was too strong, too distinct.I got up to go to the bathroom, half expecting an angel on the way. Goose bumps ran over my scalp …
I’ve had enough, I’m going fishing
I’ve had enough. I’m going fishing. Back to my old life, to the life I lived before I met Jesus. My heart aches to see him again, but I’m haunted by the look in his eyes when I said, “No, I don’t know him.” that last time.If I could forget the past week, I’d pay every last shekel I have. …
Terry Schiavo
Tony and I were talking during our anniversary lunch about the Terry Schiavo case. We really feel the Lord is drawing the nations attention to this case for a reason. Perhaps challenging us on our stand on life. We are becoming reckless. I agree with the President. “Err on the side of life.” I mean, who wouldn’t want to give …
Faith Chick Dot Com & me at the gym
Here’s me at the gym: on the curl machine, third set of reps. 1….2…..3…4….5…6… Eyeing the leg press machine I’m supposed to work next. Ooooh, that old guy is getting on the leg press. Shoot. Takes him 15 minutes to work on machine… 7,8,9,10. Hop up, run over to the other leg press machine so I can work my legs …
