    Be Sticky Like Duct Tape

    *Originally posted: February 3, 2016 / Updated December 18, 2018 When my hubby was in Bible college, we lived in a little apartment.  It was far from a fancy place, but it was our HOME.  While living there, God blessed us with three baby boys.  (One at a time, of course. 😉 ) Needless to say, finances were tight with little ones in diapers and a college bill to pay.  This is where I fell madly in love with Duct Tape.   That stuff was (and still is) my favorite “go-to” tool for fixing EVERYTHING. My hubby was off to college classes,  work or the bus route most of the time…but…

    103 Things for Which to be Thankful

    That I may publish with the voice of thanksgiving, and tell of all thy wondrous works. – Psalm 26:7 Today, is a simple journal of thanksgiving for all my favorite things that God has allowed me to enjoy. I challenge you to write 100 things for which you are thankful in your own journal or on a sheet of paper. 103 Things for Which I’m Thankful… Apples – They make a delicious pie!

    Practice Giving Glory to God

    After seeing the talented computer skills of her 9-year-old grandson, an admiring grandmother enthusiastically told her grandson, “You are amazing!”  Surprisingly, the little boy immediately replied, “No. Only God is amazing.” After reading this little story, I was taken years back into time when my step grandmother set before me a perfect example of giving God all the glory due to His name. If you were to imply that someone was “good”…. or that she in anyway was “good,” she would immediately correct me and let me know that, “No… ONLY God is good!” As I grew more in knowledge from my Bible, I realized that my grandmother learned this…

    It’s no use going back to yesterday…

    *Devotional originally posted 8/26/2015, Updated 8/28/2018 It’s no use going back to yesterday because I was a different person back then. – Lewis Carroll Alice’s, Adventures in Wonderland I really love this line from the story of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland because it reminds me that there’s no value in looking back to yesterday. I’ve made so many mistakes in my lifetime, and Satan likes to remind me about each one of those mistakes. Repeatedly. Yes… over and over again!! He seems to make sure I don’t forget them so that he can rob joy and peace from my life. Here’s what you and I need to realize… If I’ve…

    Don’t Follow Your Heart!

    I’m going to immediately jump right in to set straight the Fallible Philosophy that Hollywood is dishing out at us…. “Just follow your heart, and you’ll do the right thing” they say. This is HOGWASH (Informal noun meaning utter nonsense! LOL), and it doesn’t line up with what God’s Word says! As Christians, we’ve got to be careful about listening to worldly advice. God’s WORD says… He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered. – Proverbs 28:26 KJV The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? – Jeremiah 17:9 KJV Our heart can deceive us!…
