It’s Melodic Monday! Today’s song is Come and Fill My Heart by Avalon. I thought this would be a perfect song to celebrate Pentecost and the gift of the Holy Spirit! Pentecost is not a memorial day of the Holy Spirit but a celebration of the Holy Spirit. Let’s praise God and ask him to fill us with his Holy Spirit! Free, I long to be freeI long for the day I believeThat all you say you see in me…
Psalm 19 (The Message, emphasis mine) 1-2 God’s glory is on tour in the skies, God-craft on exhibit across the horizon. Madame Day holds classes every morning, Professor Night lectures each evening. 3-4 Their words aren’t heard, their voices aren’t recorded, But their silence fills the earth: unspoken truth is spoken everywhere. 4-5 God makes a huge dome for the sun—a superdome! The morning sun’s a new husband leaping from his honeymoon bed, The daybreaking sun an athlete racing to…
On Saturdays I share some of the links on the Internet that I have found interesting or that have blessed me during the week. This is my way to count my Internet blessings and pass on to you the good I’ve encountered. I will be doing this every Saturday if this is something that readers will find useful. So, please, let me know if this is worth of doing (or not!). Here are the best articles/blogs of this week:Love Your…
Once in awhile we all need little TLC. Fortunately, God has specialized in giving us tender loving care. So, we are in good hands. God has promised to take care of us until the end of the world:Jesus, undeterred, went right ahead and gave his charge: “God authorized and commanded me to commission you: Go out and train everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life, marking them by baptism in the threefold name: Father, Son, and…
It’s Melodic Monday! I felt that little encouragement is in order and picked a song that do just that in an amazing and powerful way: Stay Strong by Newsboys! You’re in the moment nowA bitter rouseA wandering eye and then The ties that bind start wearing thin, within You’re in the moment nowWhen all that you’ve been blessed withIs not enoughHere’s where the ground gets looseHere’s where the devils call your bluff Stay strongYou are not lostCome on and fix…
Psalm 143 (the Message, emphasis mine) 1-2 Listen to this prayer of mine, God; pay attention to what I’m asking. Answer me—you’re famous for your answers! Do what’s right for me. But don’t, please don’t, haul me into court; not a person alive would be acquitted there. 3-6 The enemy hunted me down; he kicked me and stomped me within an inch of my life. He put me in a black hole, buried me like a corpse in that dungeon….

Do you have some difficult faith topics that you push away from your mind as much as you can? I bet you do. I think we all do. One of my challenging faith concepts has long time been ‘our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit’. Not because I would not agree with the statement. But because it is humbling to think that my body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. THE HOLY SPIRIT!!! Or didn’t you realize that your body is a…
For years there has been a conspiracy of epic proportions in my house. Disguised as cute kids, an underground organization dedicated to rendering my wardrobe useless has infiltrated my closet and plundered my clothes drawers. Now daily I find myself outfit impaired and “garmently” challenged. I would sue for emotional damages, but they are my kids after all. Take my socks for instance, (whoops, poor choice of words); with five boys active in this underground, all who have socks of…
It’s Melodic Monday! Today’s song is All I Need by Bethany Dillon (Written by Ed Cash, Bethanny Dillon and . Let the lyrics of Ed Barnes). May this song get you to praise God for being everything for all of us: When the day is done And there’s no one else around While I’m lying here in bed You’re in my heart, You’re in my head You’re all I need, You’re all I need There are a million voices Calling…
