“…I want you to be wise in what is good and innocent in what is evil.” Romans 16:19 (AMP) Wise in what is good. Innocent in what is evil. Wisdom comes from the Word of God. We may think ourselves wise, but if our so-called wisdom does not agree with God’s Word, then it is…

Graduation
I was a 2007 home school graduate. I didn’t graduate as a home school student. I graduated as a home school mom, teacher, principal, superintendent, school janitor, lunch room lady, hall monitor, and all other required positions. My fifteen-year journey ended. The Israelites’ journey lasted 40 years so I didn’t come close to that, but…
Don’t Fence Me In
“Dear, dear Corinthians, I can’t tell you how much I long for you to enter this wide-open, spacious life. We didn’t fence you in. Your lives aren’t small, but you’re living them in a small way. I’m speaking as plainly as I can and with great affection. Open up your lives. Live openly and expansively!”…
What A Relief
My heart was heavy so I made a prayer list which grew longer than I had anticipated. I began talking to the Lord. He listened awhile and then reminded me of something I already knew but obviously had forgotten. I would like to share this revelation with you. God is God, and I am not….
Deodorant or Mints?
My daughter and I waited in the Walmart check-out line for what seemed like years. The cashier must have called in sick the day of her training. She was nice and friendly, but quick and competent, she was not. We had plenty of time to inspect the check-out line deals which tried to convince us…
God Forgives. God Forgets.
“I, yes, I alone am he who blots away your sins for my own sake and will never think of them again.” Isaiah 43:25 (TLB) Is there any better news than this? God takes His giant blotter and blots away our sins. Today, we’re not as familiar with blotting, so maybe we should say He…
Real Love
“We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us…” 1 John 3:16a (NLT) The word, love, is over-used. I love my husband. I love my children. I love ice cream. I love music. I love my dog. Obviously the love of things is not equal to the love for people….
Inviting The Flies
Fire ants have inflicted pain upon me too many times. When I see them, I run for my life. An article in our town newspaper renewed my hope of a better world with fewer fire ants. Researchers from the University of Texas and Texas A & M, bless their hearts, are bringing tiny South American…
The Plague
August 11, 2006, the evening started out nicely. My husband, son and I had received tickets to a Texas Rangers’ baseball game. We enjoyed a Rangers’ win while devouring funnel cakes. It was late when we returned home, and instead of walking a few more steps into our bedroom, my husband and I fell asleep…
My Revelation Of The Fire Ant
I first learned of the fire ant in the pamphlet accompanying the water bill. Days later, I received a visit from a bug guy who wanted to spray our home and yard for every type of imaginable creature. I vividly remember him asking if I had seen fire ants in the yard to which I…
