PRAISE & PRAYER PROMPT ••• I am never very far from a pencil. Pencils (and tubes of Burt’s Bees lip balm) are stuffed in every crevice of my life: my purse; my car; my nightstand; my kitchen; the living room; the basement; and my desk drawers are bursting at the seams with pencils. I may have a hard time finding a pen when the need … Continue reading 4.20.18 Praise & Prayer Prompt: Lessons From a Pencil
PRAISE & PRAYER PROMPT ••• I have no idea who wrote the quote on today’s graphic, but it’s one of those quotes I wish I could claim. “Long before Zacchaeus couldn’t see Jesus, the tree was already planted to meet his need.” There is so much brilliant truth in this sentence. Just so we’re all on the same page, Zacchaeus was a vertically-challenged tax collector … Continue reading 4.12.18 Praise & Prayer Prompt: Solution Before the Need
PRAISE & PRAYER PROMPT ••• My husband and I moved into our house almost three years ago, and early on, Wayne started making changes to the yard.

PRAYER PROMPT ••• I’m not going to write about yesterday’s school shooting. My position hasn’t changed since the last time there was an incomprehensible shooting: we have a serious heart problem in America and we need to return to God.

It’s further proof that Satan … Continue reading 2.15.18 Prayer Prompt: Lesson From a Lighthouse

Others responsible for the switches and gears in our brains that help us find our joy; let us be sad; even let us be disgusted and get angry now and then. But God designed us … Continue reading 1.13.18 Prayer Prompt: When We Cooperate With the Holy Spirit
PRAYER PROMPT ••• I’m trying to raise a little succulent on my desk at work and have managed to keep it alive for almost seven weeks! A record because I’m one of those people who can kill a silk plant. My husband, on the other hand, is very good with plants. A few years ago, I was horrified to come home and see he’d pruned … Continue reading 11.11.17 Prayer Prompt: Grow in Christ
PRAYER PROMPT ••• After nine years as a writer for my community magazines, I’m used to getting confused about dates. I write about Christmas during Halloween; Valentine’s Day during Christmas; Back to School during Fourth of July. I tend to think a few months ahead and often have to remember which month it actually is. However, it seems I just went through the opposite issue. … Continue reading 10.23.17 Prayer Prompt: Sin On Repeat
