    Day 28 – When to STOP Praying!

    “Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.” Proverbs 3:28 kjv   Today’s prayer thought is actually a thought stolen from yesterday’s reading…and I felt compelled to share it. There is a time when we need to actually stop praying and “ACT“.  Praying for someone’s need, while having “the answer” sit right beside you, is not the time to get on your knees and pray that someone “else” take care of their need.

    Day 24 – Who to Call When You're In Big Trouble

    “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” ~ Psalms 46:1 Right now, I’m waiting… My hubby left for work this morning at 4 a.m. (he has a bit of distance to drive) and it’s now 7:19 a.m. as I type. It snowed during the night and apparently the weather is a bit rough the direction my hubby headed.  Sad to say, he didn’t make it to work… He ran off the road into a ditch (the wind literally pushed him aside) and my father-in-law has gone looking for him. No phone connection where my hubby’s at…unless he stands out in middle of the road…in the…
