Books for the babes, blog for the Body!
The Uyuni salt flat. Photographs of this geographic wonder are the closest I can get to portraying what I saw in a vision. Someday I'd like to go there, but I don't think it will be nearly as spectacular as the vision I was given. A sermon I'd heard once explained the gift of praying... Continue Reading →
This may seem like a long list of what I call victory verses. However, after reading this list is there any question about God's will for your life? He wants you to have victory! Granted, there are some conditions to having that victory, like living rightly and obeying him. Still, what parent rejoices when their... Continue Reading →
In the Bible I have read many verses telling of God's healing power. In Psalm 103:3, Scripture says he forgives all our sins and heals all our diseases. I know I've said this before in one of my previous posts, but if my Father is big enough to do miracles, he's too big for me... Continue Reading →
I was driving a regular cab pickup on a gray overcast day. The gravel roads were muddy and slick and a light dusting of snow covered the ditches and fields. My son was between eight and twelve months old, and was in a front facing car seat in the middle of the cab. A gentleman... Continue Reading →
My son's class did an assignment for Christmas, and each child's response was published in the local paper along with their class picture.

If you receive anything inspiring or encouraging from my posts, it's the Holy Spirit. If you have... Continue Reading →
Recently I was accused of making "sweeping statements" without providing viable supporting references. Although this accusation is not a surprise to me (1 Peter 5:8), my fiery Irish spirit relishes the opportunity for a good debate. In addition, I believe God allowed this minor attack on my character (Job 1:8) because he knew there was... Continue Reading →
Have you heard him? Did you know he talks? I believed God answered prayers, but I never really thought about how. I never thought about what an answer might look like. Would it be a visible sign, something I heard, something I felt? In my young years of going to church and CCD I was... Continue Reading →
As I was scouting fields one day God showed me a magnificent gem within his creation. After school let out, I took my kids back to the field I was at. When we pulled up along the tree line, hundreds of Monarch butterflies were resting on tree branches. Many more were on the other side... Continue Reading →
In my limited spiritual experience, I have found there is a big difference between sitting in church on Sunday morning agreeing with the sermon, and actually walking with the Lord. I like to dress up and attend church! I love seeing my friends. Our children always look so handsome, especially in their Christmas outfits, and... Continue Reading →
