As we are surrounded by darkness, sickness, and death on every hand, I want to remind us that we have someone greater, who lives within us who defeated them all… Our Lord Jesus Christ! When Jesus said in John 3:16, “For God soooo loved the world that He gave us His Only Begotten Son, so that all who believe into His Son will never perish but will have Eternal Life,” (paraphrased) He meant it! This Eternal Life or Everlasting…
The Bible has some beautiful contradictions that only our Father can explain. In the next few blogs, I want to share some of them. The first contradiction I want to discuss is… How LIFE Can Emerge Out of DEATH. I thought of this one day when I was preparing to plant one of my favorite flowers, the Mexican Bird of Paradise. I had a few of these plants in my backyard in Arizona. They are amazing and need…
When we read the Bible, the Old Testament seems to echo the failures, disobedience, and ongoing sins of God’s chosen people, Israel. God was constantly punishing them for their sins. The message appeared to be of judgment and doom. But at the same time, He was reaching out to them to repent and to turn their hearts away from sin to Him. However, our Father knew man was weak in his strength to obey the laws He required and to…
John 17:13-19 (Amplified Bible) 13 But now I am coming to You; and I say these things [while I am still] in the world so that they may experience My joy made full and complete and perfect within them [filling their hearts with My delight]. 14 I have given to them Your word [the message You gave Me]; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world and do not belong to the world, just as I am not of the world and do not belong to it. …
There is great mourning going on around the world, in our country, communities, and my life. It is so difficult when words nor promises can comfort us. What do we do? I spoke with my youngest sister, Tracy, the other day. She told me how she and her husband talked with their 11-year-old and 6-year-old sons who were concerned about COVID-19 deaths and wondered why police officers wanted to kill Black people. She told me they watched two CNN…
It is another year we celebrate Father’s Day and it is my first year without my earthly father who went home to be with our Lord, March 31st of this year. I really miss my Dad but I am so glad he is healed and fully alive with Our Father. Even though I miss being with my Dad, his room in my heart is now occupied by Our Father, Daddy, ABBA, and my Papa. I am in awe that even…
Do you recall my blog about my Mexican Bird of Paradise flower I planted in my pot? Here is a link to it if you didn’t get a chance to read it. LET THE SON SHINE IN – “Contradiction #1… Life Can Emerge Out of Death” Here is what it looks like today. I was so excited about the little flower who endured such pain through the cutting and bruising process. It grew a few…

Have you ever been shocked by an electric fence? I have. I won a horse at a horse riding show when I was around 10 years old. We went to Gibson Discount Store where they had pony and horse rides for $1.00. My sister and I rode horses around the gated circle. At the end of the week, all were invited to win a horse. So, our babysitter filled out a raffle ticket with our names on it. Guess…
When we look around and see COVID-19 getting worse rather than better, we also witness the devastation and calamities of life all around us like never before. We can feel overwhelmed or hopeless and want to give up. The suicide rate has skyrocketed with people feeling depressed and can’t see a way out. I have heard of many believers turning away from the Lord they once loved; it makes me so sad. So, today I want to share a passage…
