Stronger Together. Stop The Isolation

I could see it in their eyes. An empty, lonely gaze that reflected a sense of hopelessness. The isolation was taking a toll and their broken spirits were evident upon their drawn-in pale faces. Was this truly the result of an illness or of a soul full of despair? Had the fight all but gone?… Continue reading Stronger Together. Stop The Isolation

December 21 / Fiery Night, Holy Night

He said, Look!  I see four men loosed and walking about in the midst of the fire without harm, and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods!”  Daniel 3:25 God commanded His people to worship only Him and yet they lived in a world that pushed and prodded for them… Continue reading December 21 / Fiery Night, Holy Night

December 20 / Light of CHRISTmas

When I recall the disasters I have worked as a chaplain, the men, women and children I have been connected with by God, to pour out Christ’s love on, it reminds me of the nation of Israel in the book of Isaiah. They were walking in a time of darkness; a time when they lived… Continue reading December 20 / Light of CHRISTmas

December 17 / CHRISTmas Redeeming Love

Today we jump to the book of Ruth in the Bible. Here we find a beautiful, true story of redeeming love. "Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God.”  Ruth 1:16b Naomi, Ruth's mother-in-law, was living in the pagan land of Moab. She and her husband, Elimelech, had left their homeland in… Continue reading December 17 / CHRISTmas Redeeming Love

Concede? Retreat? No way. It’s Time to Charge!

The news today is disturbing, but in all reality my eyes are lifted high to the One still in control. Should this election pan out to the final draw of Biden winning (just as Obama) he will not be my leader. Nor will I claim him as my president. Yet, I will show respect for… Continue reading Concede?

Sounds of Prayers and Praise Rise Above Voices of Indifference and Hate

As a went to sleep last night my prayers were heavy for the place I’ll forever know as my hometown, Tulsa Oklahoma. As I woke my prayers continue. I was raised there and my children were raised there. Much of my family and so many friends from over 50 years still live there. Today they… Continue reading Sounds of Prayers and Praise Rise Above Voices of Indifference and Hate

Is it really a black and white issue?

The protest in Kansas City started out peacefully. A few hours later boom! It suddenly turned into a riot! The professional rioters obviously found their way here and to every city that is rioting. But honestly! I’m not at all surprised. And suddenly we hear nothing about “social distancing “ and no groups over 15.… Continue reading Is it really a black and white issue?

We Are Tired But Proud To Be For Such A Time As This

Another long day, my feet are killing me, my hands raw from washing repeatedly, my body tired, and I'm ready to head home to my hubby. But oh what a day! It started while I was getting ready, listening to scriptures, reading my devotion, and praying on my way to work. Praying it will be… Continue reading We Are Tired But Proud To Be For Such A Time As This

If It’s Better To Be With Christ in Heaven, Then Why Aren’t Christians Lining Up To Die?

As the evil of the world comes pounding down around us with the COVID-19 virus, there are so many people asking questions.  And while we, as Christians, are stepping up to encourage the body of Christ through online worship, church services, prayer meetings, etc, there are thousands of people overwhelmed with doubts, fears, and endless… Continue reading If It’s Better To Be With Christ in Heaven, Then Why Aren’t Christians Lining Up To Die?
