Graced For This: Contingency
“…And you shall be a blessing [a source of great good to others]” Genesis 12:2c AMP One of my favorite past times is reading. Books have always been my means of escape… as a child when I could not physically remove myself from unfavorable situations, was in need of a challenge I’d pick up a…

On this 7th day of the New Year
On this 7th day of the New Year I will only care, concern, and consume myself with those things that are life giving. I will intentionally intensify in prayer, praise, and proclaimation of the Word as it relates to pursuing and maintaining purposeful relationships.

“Just Let Me Cry” ~Violet Burns Crosby
My niece Violet was crying and her mother was trying to help soothe her by asking an assortment of questions and offering possible fixes or alternatives to what she thought/felt would appease her.

It Will Make Sense
Moments when life and love start to make sense help us appreciate the times when we dared to trust God and hoped against hope when it made no sense. We are so glad we didn’t give up, throw in the towel or forfeit. God is so faithful, so gracious and true to His Word. God…

Close

Grace
If we live and love according to our understanding of right and wrong we will miss, mess up and make a mockery of love. Trust me I was an expert at this. This was my specialty. I was unwilling, unfeeling, unforgiving and unyielding in the manner in which I lived and I loved. I lived…

Be You
When we were children I noticed my brother’s ability to make people laugh…he is the life of the party…always cracking jokes and doing something shockingly stupid. He has the ability to make you laugh even when you don’t want to. Once you get past his craziness and cantankerous tactics the shock wears off and you…

The Gift Of Love
Wrapped up in this humanity is the expressed image of beautiful, progressively radiating the culmination of wonderful. A mighty work intertwined no intermingled among the concept of time, lingering in a continual state of becoming. Intricately formed and created for a specific, no intentional purpose yet to be discovered. How awesome is unveiling such preciousness,…

Praying the Promise
Surveying the land and all I see is mounds and mounds of dirt in no particular formation. The land appears to be dry, damaged, desolate, destitute, and dead. I’m tempted to look away, to pretend not to notice what’s surrounding my purpose, sorrowing my person, and swaying my passion. Indifference, indignation, and intelligence scrutinize its…
