I absolutely love my daily planner! I laughingly claim that it’s my “second brain.“ My planner usually consist of important things I don’t want to FORGET for the day, but it also consists of regular ROUTINES I’m trying to establish, such as cleaning the bathroom and washing my sheets on Mondays. I LOVE ticking off my little to-dos as I accomplish them. It’s my little reward. [sigh of contentment] Almost always, I jot down a few names in my planner, who are in need of extra prayer, as I scroll through Facebook in the morning, while sipping my coffee. [another sigh of contentment] In simple terms, I write down the…

Wake Up! It’s Time to Have the Courage of Esther the Queen
NOTE: I first wrote this post October 14, 2015. I find it more fitting than ever and a good time to repeat it’s prompting to be read. Do not live in a fairy tale bubble… It’s time to wake up! In fairy tales it seems that the heroes never die…they miraculously conquer whatever misfortune they may face. In such fairy tales… Cinderella escapes her cruel Stepmother and marries the Prince to go live in the Palace. Today there are many heroes of faith who do not live the fairy tale life.

What Are You Depending On to Get Through Life’s Journey?
What are you depending upon to get you through life’s journey? Is it your job or income? Is it your personality or particular character? Is it your knowledge or IQ?Is it your ability to multi-task?

Is Your Mind Easily Changed?
One morning last week, I pondered a bit on the Bible verses of Acts 28:3-6. This particular passage tells us of a time when Paul was bitten by a serpent. While the people surrounding him there were watching, they thought Paul must indeed be a guilty sinner, a murderer, since this serpent bit him. However, because Paul’s life is in the hand of the Lord, the serpent’s bite did not affect him at all. No swelling or illness took place. How quickly the people changed their minds (once again) concerning Paul. Bible verses below: (3) “And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire,…
