You may have heard there are 365 “Fear not!” in the Bible–one for everyday of the year. Fear is a stronghold. A stronghold is like an iceberg–the sea of our thoughts and emotions hide the majority of it. The ten percent we show to those around us is no indication of its depth and size….

Signing the Contract!
I am so excited, and I wanted to share it with all of you who have not seen my FB page! I wrote about my Bible study, The Jewels of Hebrews, last week in the post called Gift of Gab. Mt. Zion Ridge Press will publish it in December 2020. Yay!! It is definitely a…
The Gift of Gab
A few years ago, I had some genetic testing done through 23 and Me, a branch of ancestry.com. In addition to finding out I have a few enzymes missing, I found out I am 71% Irish/English. My great-grandfather came from Ireland to the United States, but I had no idea I had that much Irish in me. Throughout my…
Breathe
As I was driving home this weekend from my sister’s house, I saw a sign on the overpass with the words, “Are you breathing?” Obviously this sign referred to the senseless death of George Floyd. But, as I thought about it, I also realized that Covid-19 took away the breath of many people. As we…
Is Healing for Real?
Has God healed you from an illness, injury, or some other condition? Do you believe God heals today? My pastor preached a sermon this past Sunday on healing and I thought it was worth discussing on this blog today. In my Bible study on Hebrews, I wrote about Jesus/Yeshua healing us body, soul, and spirit….
A Sign and Seal
This past weekend was Pentecost or the Feast of Shavuot. It is celebrated fifty days after Passover and the death of Jesus/Yeshua. In the Christian church we think of it as the day the Holy Spirit was given to the disciples waiting in the upper room. But the first Pentecost occurred for a different reason….
When I Sin
Today’s post is a little different for me. It’s a poem which comes from a friend, Brita Alaburda, who is very artistic and has a love for words. She loves God, people, poetry, and chocolate cake (: among other things. She is also a fellow Word Weaver. Please let her know what you think of…
Lord, help my unbelief
Have you ever had a very sick child? Or maybe you found out your child would be diabetic, deaf, blind, autistic, or have some type of disability. Since my son was premature, he didn’t hit developmental milestones on time. He was taking his time crawling; he did more rolling to get where he wanted to…
Is it All Greek to You?
Did you see the movie, My Big Fat Greek Wedding?
The Struggle is Real
When is the last time you had a good fight? Not a fight with your spouse, or your kids, or even a friend, but against the forces of darkness? Wow, you weren’t expecting that, right? For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers…
