Positive & Uplifting
If you’re reading this locked in a jail cell, haunted by an addiction or even chronically depressed, this passage is for you. On the other hand, if you’re basically a “good person” who always “colors inside the lines” but still understands that you need a Savior, this passage is for you as…

My father-in-law is on my short list of all time favorite people. (And not just because he said I could marry his daughter. 🙂 ) He has been a voice of reason to me for over four decades. A lot of what I believe about life and truth, comes from him. I’ve recently been wondering what life was like before we pushed God out of the public…

A lifelong mentor and friend of mine recently reminded me in a Facebook post that though some were upset that the government wasn’t allowing them to go to the church during this “season” we’ve been in that that the Church is always “open for business.” It’s never closed. All of the missional…

I am in the middle of a devotional called Coronavirus and Christ by John Piper. In my reading today, John’s theme was God’s sovreignty. He made the point strongly that God is overseeing every detail of the pandemic. He even orchestrates what may of been evil so that it could have a good result in me and all of his children.…

I just learned that there is a plant that grows alongside wheat, looks almost like wheat but is deadly poisonous. Check it out. Did you know that wheat had a twin? Because I certainly didn’t. It’s amazing all that we can learn from reading the Bible. I am learning that one of the best ways to interpret scripture is to consider…

In the book, Desiring God speaker John Piper suggests at least six things that God is doing during the pandemic. I have paraphrased…

Do you know why one end of the “V” is longer than the other when geese fly in formation?  One end of the “V” is longer because it has more geese in it. Argh, argh, argh, argh Like that one did you? Actually, there is a very important lesson we can learn from geese and it’s no joke. Curious? As you may have…

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about holding a grudge, it doesn’t make things better and it can do emotional damage to the one holding it. I was reminded of this fact when I listened to today’s devo from the Life 101.9 Life group. Turn up your volume and check it out. Maybe we’re physically distant…

A great thing about living close to grand kids is they draw you pictures for the ‘fridge. Then during COVID-19 shutdowns, not wanting to get your germs, they stick ’em between your front doors, ring the door bell and hide. Surprise! You’ve got a new smile. Love it! So, how’s it going with your “stay…

There is a movie that I watched a few months ago and I am actually watching it again during these strange days we find ourselves in. You need to know that I almost never watch a movie a second time. This time around, I’m taking notes because there is a lot to think about. I also want to do more personal Bible study about the content…
