What is going on in the world? Are you up-to-date with your prayers for the world? I watch our Canadian news station called The National every night so I can keep abreast with what is happening in our world. But I found the best resource for prayer is Operation World 21st Century. Each day for… Continue reading WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE WORLD?

ARE WE GRATEFUL?
Are We Grateful? I read an article in the paper the other day about Captain Mark Kelly, the husband of Gabrielle Gifford, the senator shot in Tuscon, Arizona. He said, “I hadn’t been a big believer in fate until recently. I thought the world just spins, the clock just ticks and things happen for no… Continue reading ARE WE GRATEFUL?
MEMORY WORK? ME?
Memory Work? Me? Last week I told you about Ann Voskamp’s new book, One Thousand Gifts – which I am thoroughly enjoying. This week I want to tell you about a challenge that Ann stirred in me. I like to try to memorize Scripture. It hasn’t always been successful but at least I have the… Continue reading MEMORY WORK? ME?
THANKFUL, GRATEFUL HEARTS
Thankful, Grateful Hearts Last June I met Ann Voscamp at Write!Canada, a conference for Canadian writers and editors who are Christian.

A VOICE FROM GOD?
A Voice from God? For the past two weeks (Another Factor in Conversation and Listen – Part 2) I have been talking about listening to God – by not talking.

BE HONEST – PART 4
Be Honest – Part 4 In the past three weeks I have tried to show you how our “humanness” can cloud our listening to the Holy Spirit. We have looked at jealousy, having a critical nature and selfishness. The last question is: Are my emotions clouding my discernment? Our emotions have been given to us… Continue reading BE HONEST – PART 4
BE HONEST – PART 3
Be Honest – Part 3 In the first two posts I have described two of the things that can blindside us from the Truth in what God is telling us. I discussed both jealousy and a critical nature. This week’s question is: Do I have anything selfish to gain from this outcome? One sentence in… Continue reading BE HONEST – PART 3
BE HONEST – PART 2
Be Honest – Part 2 Last week I chose one of 4 questions that can be used to make sure that my discernment is God directed and not personal. I chose number 2 to start. Do I feel jealous or threatened? Today I will go back to number 1. Am I a critical person by… Continue reading BE HONEST – PART 2
