Tested & Tempted for Good?

Every day, there are opportunities presented, in which we get choose between God’s ways and the world’s. In His word, God promises (in 1 Corinthians 10:13); “No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able,… Continue reading Tested & Tempted for Good?

Forgiving the Inexcusable?

Forgiveness; why is this such a hard concept for so many of us? I dare say, most humans? I really don’t know about you, but I’m one of those who struggles with just letting offenses just roll off me like water off a duck - even though I’ve done a lot of recovery work since… Continue reading Forgiving the Inexcusable?

All I Need is You – Psalm 119

God woke me up again today and continues to remind me, Jesus + nothing is all I need. He reminded me of this psalm. “Thy Word”; the first song I ever recorded (40 years ago) and one of my favorite Scriptures (Psalm 119:105). 🙏🏻 Lord Jesus, I thank You for Your word that gives me… Continue reading All I Need is You – Psalm 119

Seven Year Itch?

Happy Stomaversary to me! Ripley and I became a team 7 years ago on 11/8/17 and I can not complain - I had a great surgical team. Waking up from total collectomy surgery. But, it was not without an unexpected complication; the anesthesiologist hit my left femoral nerve with a pre-surgery TAP block (Transversus Abdominis… Continue reading Seven Year Itch?

Don’t Stop Praying

Bible.com // Luke 18:1 If you’re anything like me, and you’ve been on the planet for more than a few days, there’s been times where the world just doesn’t make sense. I want answers for times of confusion, times I need healing - mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally. Times of lack (seemingly) of direction too.… Continue reading Don’t Stop Praying
