Simply Saturday I decided to move A Better Way to Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Since I also produce another blog called Under the Cover of Prayer that has posts that run Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, I thought it better if those who subscribed to both blogs got a new post a day instead of two… Continue reading SIMPLY SATURDAY – Regrets

FOUNDATIONAL PRAYERS
Foundational Prayers by Jan Cox When I am at peace, resting in the Word of God, prayer comes easily. My brain and my heart engage together. I can do my daily prayers, my breath prayers and use all interruptions to speak to God. However, when a crisis happens, I am ill or I am stressed… Continue reading FOUNDATIONAL PRAYERS
THE DREADED DIET
The Dreaded Diet Read: Philippians 4:10-13 “I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you have been concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.… Continue reading THE DREADED DIET
HEART OF THE MATTER
Heart of the Matter by T. L. Wiens It is amazing how the similar words from two different people can lead two very different directions. King Saul and King David are a perfect example of similar words, different heart. In I Samuel 15, Saul has disobeyed the command of the Lord. Instead of destroying everything during… Continue reading HEART OF THE MATTER
I AM A PERFECTIONIST
I admit it – I am a perfectionist I will let you in on a secret I am a perfectionist. You wouldn’t know it by looking at my desk – papers all over – but in my banking, or my teaching or now in my blogging I get stressed if I don’t get it right.… Continue reading I AM A PERFECTIONIST

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?
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. I found another saying from 1886, “Eat an apple before going to bed, and you keep the doctor from earning his bread.” If you are interested in… Continue reading AN APPLE A DAY FROM GOD
ACQUIRING THE ART OF CONTEMPLATION
Acquiring the Art of Contemplation by Judith Lawrence Contemplation has been spoken of as art. The person who prays as a contemplative does not speak in words so much as in intuition; she is a soul who is like an artist or a poet, a soul who yearns to be with God in wonder and… Continue reading ACQUIRING THE ART OF CONTEMPLATION
Under the Cover of Prayer
I started out blogging a few years ago – trying to find out what God wanted me to talk about. I wrote Shining His Light and Spirit-Filled Canada which I have now closed for lack of time. Last year at our Writers’ Conference, Write!Canada, God put upon my heart to blog about prayer. I was… Continue reading Under the Cover of Prayer
Jesus is the way – So Pray
Jesus is the Way – So Pray “Jesus does not give recipes that show the way to God as other teachers of religion do. He Himself is the Way.” Karl Barth, Swiss Protestant theologian of the 20th C. In my last post I talked about being overwhelmed. Certainly it is easy to get so involved… Continue reading Jesus is the way – So Pray
