Weird, because my Normal wasn’t working Is your “normal” working for you? I am searching for a better way – God’s way. Before I turned to Jesus whole-heartedly I was very much a Martha, a control-driven, have-to-keep-busy person. I am still a Martha, but I have found my Mary, too. When I was given an… Continue reading WEIRD?

A SPECIFIC PRAYER
A Specific Prayer by Jan Cox Sin – how do we get rid of it? When can we say we are truly His, filled with the Holy Spirit and walking with Him? Oswald Chambers in April 10th’s reading says: “It takes a long time to come to a moral decision about sin, but it is… Continue reading A SPECIFIC PRAYER
AN APPLE A DAY FROM GOD
An Apple a Day from God We all know the saying, “An apple a day will keep the doctor away”. Apples are known to have very healthy benefits.

ACQUIRING THE ART OF CONTEMPLATION
Acquiring the Art of Contemplation by Judith Lawrence Contemplation has been spoken of as art.

Roberts wrote a post on Belief Net called Why Don’t We Pray for Business? on… Continue reading PRAY FOR BUSINESS?
Good Morning
Good Morning Yes, it is morning for me – here in Arizona. Yesterday at church the pastor asked in the sermon, “How do you wake up in the morning?” I have found that a great way to wake up is to say, “Good morning, God.” With a big deep breath I breathe in and out.… Continue reading Good Morning
