A love that endures forever
I often feel as if I don’t love God enough. I don’t sacrifice enough or worship with enough passion. I don’t forgive as quickly as He desires nor dream with enough hope. I withhold some of my affection as I don’t trust anyone without a bit of doubt. I wonder if God’s disappointed in my ability, or willingness, to love him.

Finding yourself in fear
Fear steals the hope of a significant life.

Breakfasts that matter
I wish you could have been there. Security guards inspecting, black-suited dudes with earpieces placed discreetly among us, and even guns. Everyone was dressed nicely but somewhat conservatively. The room was crowded. The laughter and warm greetings were infectious as you entered. Immediately, I experienced an electric anticipation in the air.

Pious poser
Dutiful, moral, religious, devout, pious.

We are nothing
I once gave Katie Couric and Maria Shriver a run for their money.

He is standing near
We live in an era highlighted in fear. If you were to ask someone what they are afraid of, and give them a moment to think about it, you would hear a myriad of answers.

Talk about heaven!
Back from vacation, a friend said, “I just spent seven days on a six-deck cruise ship that sailed through the azure waters of the Caribbean. Waiters served us five-course meals on china under sparkling cut glass chandeliers. The air was warm as we listened to music on the lido deck and the stars twinkled like diamonds on black velvet. Talk about heaven!”

Nearly fallen angel
I have a nearly fallen angel outside of my house.

Devoted risk takers
I admire people who are adventuresome and stand in awe of those who are always up for a new experience. They look fear in the face and they bow to no one or any suggestion of a wild escapade. They are independent and daring. They are bold, confident and audacious.

Blindsided by love
Ever been blindsided?

Did you know …
I love to read. At any given time I am reading two or three, or even five books. I love make believe, mysteries, memoirs, management and motivational kinds of books. But one of my favorites is an interesting, colorful, in-your-face kind of book. The authors of this book paint a picture of common everyday life, but with a supernatural twist.

The Music of Christmas
If we were to take a few minutes to define what Christmas is all about we might have a long list. For me, there are a few things that top the list. Christmas is about loving, Christmas is about giving, Christmas is about receiving, and Christmas is about music. The songs of Christmas, both those we sing in honor and those we sing just for fun, dance merrily through our minds and find a home in our hearts during this special season.
