Labour and Deliverance It is Mother’s Day – and I am writing this because it is important for me to rethink what our minister said today.

IDENTITY – Five Minute Fridays
Identity This week’s word is Identity. What is my identity? I want it to show who I am and what I believe. Do I? I am not sure.

That was my question to myself. We talk on this blog about methods of prayer. And yes, I have tried them. And… Continue reading KEEP IT SIMPLE

AWAKENING
Awakening by Jan Cox This week I have been in a fog, maybe even a funk. And yes the picture above is a blur. That is how I have felt. I have had breathing problems this month in Arizona. The pollen doesn’t like me. I am best when I am indoors, which is not pleasant… Continue reading AWAKENING
GPS
GPS by Jan Cox My husband searched for a compass at a marine store the other day. He wanted to have one on his boat – I am not sure why because I like to stay close enough to shore that I can see it. But he purchased one anyway. I hope he hasn’t got… Continue reading GPS
