Happy 19th Anniversary to my Hubby!
Hubby and I married 19 years ago today after four years of friendship-oddship. When we met, we were 27. Ready to settle down, tired of the Christian AND non Christian dating scene. I travelled around the country and world training newspaper editors and reporters, and classified advertising reps how to use my company’s computers for daily production. He was the …
All for the Love of Jesus
There’s a great post over on @stickyjesus today about living out the love of Christ online. Isn’t this a great battle for us “off line” too? As a writer, I struggle to keep a balance between my real life, my online life, and the “life” of me that comes out on the pages of my novels. I have to speak …
How do I love Thee
Sunday during the service, I was privileged to be among the congregation and not up stage leading worship. All I could sense in my heart and mind, “Jesus, I don’t love you enough. How can I love you more?” I cut these lines from the stanza of Elizabeth Barrett Browning: With my lost saints, — I love thee with the …
The depths of love
I posted before on owing no one anything except love. Paul wrote to the Roman church, “don’t run up huge debts, except the huge debt of love you owe each other.” Lately I’ve been meditating on true, real, heart issued love. Loving when we’re wronged, when we’re cheated or over looked. Keeping our mouths shut when we have a right …
Dignity in Death
Allison Wilson and I drove up to Kristy Dykes funeral yesterday. It’s always good to spend time with Allison, but we were both looking forward to Kristy’s home going ceremony. Unfortunately, we arrived late due to the keen-o feature of her husband’s Porsch-a 911. Automatically lock the doors if the key is not in the ignition. The fact that the …
Hearing God, Part II
The other day I blogged about how to hear God. The main point I made was that we have to believe He speaks to us. Second we have to have faith and believe He’s who He says He is. The Bible is the one true place to discover God’s character. Hebrews 4:12 tells us the Word is living and active, …
Her name is La-la-la-Lola
Our found dog’s owner called today. She described her perfectly and when I repeated her name, “Lola,” the little Schnauzer perked up. So, my Fifi is a Lola. The owner said she’d be by in the afternoon to pick her up. I said, “No worry, we’ve loved having her. She’s a great dog.” My comment opened the door I’d hoped …
Debt of Love
The other day while reading through verses for prayer, I came across this one. “Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.” One translation refers to the “debt of love.” We are indebted for so many material things in this life – cars, houses, “toys,” maxed out credit cards …
