THOUGHT ADJUSTMENT
Thought Adjustment by Janet Sketchley “Shall I then take the members of Christ and unite them with a prostitute? Never!” (1 Corinthians 6:15b, NIV) Talk about an odd verse for God to use to correct me! This is not exactly on my list of temptations. But I knew what He meant.

BRAVE – Five Minute Fridays
Brave A good practice for making me write – Five Minute Fridays. Linking onto The Gypsy Mama with the word BRAVE. Here are the rules: Around here we write for five minutes flat on Fridays.

PRAY YOUR LIVES

LOOKING BACK
Looking Back by Jan Cox Sometimes life just gets busy, doesn’t it? We “say” our prayers – then off we go to our pursuits. When do we stop and look at our lives and see where God has been working? Today I want to suggest that we all take 10-20 minutes this week to stop… Continue reading LOOKING BACK
GOD, ANSWER ME QUICKLY!
God, Answer Me Quickly! by Mark. D. Roberts (reprinted with permission) “Don’t turn away from me in my time of distress. Bend down to listen, and answer me quickly when I call to you.” Psalm 102:1-28 When we ask a question or share a concern with someone, we expect a quick response. Gone are the… Continue reading GOD, ANSWER ME QUICKLY!
