Hi, fellow runner. You just passed me. I was the one shuffling along, with the big butt, big gut, cherry red face, huffing and puffing, sweat running down my face, but by the grace of God, I am out in the Sacramento sun, aiming to get six miles today., (I managed five). You might have […]
Is It True That God Will Not Give Us More Than We Can Handle?
Posted in REFLECT on Jan 28th, 2015
A little food for thought today… We often hear “God will not give you more than you can handle”. We tend to say this as to encourage ourselves and others when we go through hard times. Then, I read where this is actually nowhere in the Bible, and that we are given more than we […]
Spiritual Warfare
Posted in REFLECT on Aug 20th, 2014
Hi moms! How is life right now? As the schools are ramping up, is yours as well? Or, are you the sane traditionalist that holds out until after Labor Day? We started ours a couple of weeks ago. Actually, we kind of did a light schedule through summer, with it increasing recently. Yesterday was a […]
Notes from my Hillsong Experience
Posted in REFLECT on Nov 10th, 2013
I took a crazy amount of notes, but tried scale it to the main points that impacted me most. The bolded items are the items I am continuing to unpack and embed in my heart. Obviously, worship was amazing! They played the same songs over the weekend. We were able to really get to know […]

Pastor Ray gave a talk on “Game Changers”. He started with this story: A woman looked out her window and saw her neighbor place clothes on a clothesline. The woman muttered to herself, “why those clothes are still dirty; someone should teach that woman how to properly wash her clothes.” The next time she hung […]

There is a popular song from the late 60’s that is based on Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8. It was performed by The Byrds, titled, ‘Turn! Turn! Turn!”, lasting 11 weeks on Billboard’s Top 40. You can hear it here: Turn!Turn!Turn! During a time that is remembered for free exploration of pretty much anything, it is touching […]
Look Into My Eyes
Posted in REFLECT on Sep 1st, 2013
I have a sweet journal book, titled, “Do Something Beautiful Each Day.” It gives an example of something you can do,/think/say/pray that is beautiful in some way. I looked up today’s option…. September 1st… Make eye contact with a homeless person or someone you don’t know. Say, “hi, how are you?” “Great timing,” I thought. […]
Imputed Righteousness
Posted in REFLECT on Aug 22nd, 2013
What I Learned at Mt. Hermon… Prior to coming to any Christ-centered event, I always pray for the Lord to provide us with that one “thing”, that one TRUTH that He wants to reveal to us and to apply to our lives. That one “thing” came for me early in the week, and I have […]
