Joy in a Song

Speaking of joy, my husband recently showed me the slow release of Red Mountain Church’s final album on their Facebook page.  We’ve both found extra joy in the song, ‘All Things New.’  Play it loud and ask God to fill you with His unshakeable joy today.  (that’s what I’m doing at the moment)

Only Helpless People Pray

Thanks to my husband (who found and ordered it), I’m now reading a book entitled, A Praying Life by Paul Miller.  I’m really enjoying the book and was struck recently by the thought that only helpless people pray.

Many times when I feel discouraged about my prayer life, I’m convinced that the antidote is a [...]

Blame it on the Rain

I won’t lie and say I wasn’t one of the fans fooled by Milli Vanilli back in the day.  I mean, who could believe that despite their stylish look, awesome hair, and peppy dancing, they couldn’t actually sing any better than I do (okay, well a little better than I do).

Back in the day when [...]

Beams of Heaven as I Go

Several months ago, I wrote about redeeming my wandering thoughts by  memorizing a hymn to sing throughout my day.  Just the other day, I was singing one to my kiddos and realized that I had not added a new one to the mix in QUITE SOME TIME.

So, I’ve been on the look out for a [...]

Plug it In, Plug it In

Have you ever traveled outside the country?  If so, you know how different the voltage can be when you try to plug your country’s electrics into that country’s outlets-(I should know I’ve fried a blow dryer and a straightener, pretending that the voltage difference didn’t matter).
Today’s post is from Kandy-a lady who’s spent many years [...]

Just Five More Minutes

I can’t tell you how often I try to tell my children to take a deep breath and wait JUST A FEW MORE MINUTES.  They want something, but of course, I can’t get to it right that second.  I say, ‘Be patient.  It won’t be long and I’ll help you.’  Read on to find how [...]

Lord, Make Me Rich and Famous

This is the 3rd post in a 5 day series about Scripture and its promises to meet our most basic needs.  Monday, we saw that Scripture is good food.  Yesterday, Scripture was Wisdom and today, Scripture is WEALTH.
Did you grow up watching Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous?  I think it came on sometime during [...]

Dis, Dis, DIS

This is one of Amy’s favorite posts (and mine too).  I can always use a reminder to think about prayer in this way.
My little girl’s favorite word used to be, ‘Dat.’ Now, it’s ‘Dis.’ Translation: ‘Look at this.’  or ‘What is this?’  or ‘I WANT this!’  When she sets her mind on something, [...]

Got to Pray Just to Make it Today

In my spring cleaning, I stumbled upon a journal that my husband and I used our first year of marriage during a time that we were regularly praying together. Though things eventually interrupted our practice, the method we had developed was quite powerful and instrumental in getting us to pray regularly for people in [...]
