I am a grammar nerd. It comes easily to me, figuring out how to word things, spelling properly, using words concisely, and knowing which words to use in a sentence (whose or who's, anyone?). I try not to also become the grammar police, but sometimes things just need correcting, know what I mean? Like, should... Continue Reading →
Recognize the Giver
In case you didn't know, Christmas was yesterday. (I actually originally wrote this the day after Christmas 2019, so don't be confused.) It's the day Christians celebrate the birth of our Savior, the greatest gift the world has ever known, Jesus Christ. I have seen many people posting 2 Cor. 9:15 "Thanks be unto God...

Sunrise Thoughts
Have you ever watched a sunrise? Did you make plans beforehand to watch it, or was it something you just got to take in because you had to be up early for some reason? Some people go running or walking in the morning (which I did before winter hit!) and see the sun come up... Continue Reading →
Adventuring with God
A couple things I was challenged by in my reading this morning. Genesis 22:1 "And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am." I decided to look up the word 'tempt', because although I was pretty sure I knew... Continue Reading →
Clean Pajamas

If you’ve ever experienced that kind of sickness, then you know how exhausting and confusing it is. You also know that most people wear the same pajamas for days on end during that kind of illness,... Continue Reading →
God is the Rewarder
Have you ever done something solely for what you would get out of it? If you’re anything at all like me, then the answer is a resounding yes. I mean, like, when you were a child, you cleaned your room to earn allowance. Or you raked the neighbor’s yard for some pocket money. Or, you... Continue Reading →
I Don’t Need Help
Have you ever had a problem/project that you just couldn't figure out, and even though you have a friend who is pretty much an expert, you say "no thanks" when they offer to show you how or help you? Why do we do that? Maybe I should rephrase- Why do *I* do that? Why do... Continue Reading →
Default Mode
Have you ever noticed yourself reacting a certain way to certain stimuli? Like something habitual? For example:-If a person cuts you off on the road, you then tailgate them to show your displeasure.-If someone confronts you about an issue, or challenges your thoughts, you get defensive instead of taking stock and really listening.-If someone says...

Sons of Kohath
Have you ever just thrown your hands up in the air and said “For the love of Pete, I KNEW I was going to end up a son of Kohath!!!”? No? Just me? Alrighty then… The sons of Kohath were called to bear the things of the tabernacle on their shoulders. When the high priest... Continue Reading →
Go Through the Junk
Have you ever let part of your house/property get messy and disorganized, and need to take time to sort through things and straighten it up? Maybe it’s your desk. Or your car. Or your basement. Or your attic. Or your garage. Or your bedroom. Or your whole house. We all have different things that aren’t... Continue Reading →
