PRAISE & PRAYER PROMPT ••• This is Day 3 of our week-long focus on the five senses: sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch. Day 3–Hearing. I have some strong opinions on this sense since so many equate hearing with listening. But the sense is called hearing, so I picked a verse that uses that word… But we’ll be talking about listening too! With that said, … Continue reading 6.19.19 Praise & Prayer Prompt: Hearing (A Sensory Series)
PRAISE & PRAYER PROMPT ••• Last week, I accidentally wrote a three-part series. This time, it’s on purpose. This one has been on my mind for several weeks. We’re going to spend five days on the senses: sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch. But of course, we’ll talk about them from a faith-based perspective. Day 1–Sight. We have two different types of vision. The physical … Continue reading 6.17.19 PRAISE & PRAYER PROMPT: Sight (A Sensory Series)
PRAISE & PRAYER PROMPT ••• I really didn’t intend to turn this into a series, but that seems to have happened. We’ve talked about forgiveness, forgetting, and today, let’s talk about repentance. It may seem I’ve gone out of order here but just as I hadn’t planned to write a series, I think this order may be exactly right.

Here’s the truth… If we feel unsettled, it’s not from God. … Continue reading 6.9.19 Praise & Prayer Prompt: Unsettled
PRAISE & PRAYER PROMPT ••• A few months ago, I started walking a few mornings a week with a dear friend of mine. We were averaging about two miles but the majority of it—I hobbled through. Every time I went walking with her, I had a raging case of shin splints. Admittedly, my shoes were crazy old and unlike most women, I don’t like to … Continue reading 6.8.19 Praise & Prayer Prompt: Ponder the Path
PRAISE & PRAYER PROMPT ••• When it comes to our names, very few of us had a choice in the matter. Of course, you can legally change your name. I’ve considered it. Not that I don’t like my name. It’s fine, but I go by my middle name and it would be really nice to have it in the first place position. Anyone who uses … Continue reading 6.7.19 Praise & Prayer Prompt: What’s In a Name?
PRAISE & PRAYER PROMPT ••• Our 11 year old dog, Beth, is struggling. She’s a beautiful Labrador and my husband and I love her to pieces. Beth has issues—We rescued her when she was three and she is a complete non-conformist when it comes to standard Labrador-behavior (terrified of water, hates riding in cars, never understood the concept of “fetch,” cannot walk on a leash … Continue reading 5.29.19 Praise & Prayer Prompt: Fighting Discouragement with Prayer
