Oh to live like Simeon. To be so sensitive to the Spirit's leading. Don't you wonder what it was like to feel the Spirit tug at him and lead him to the temple that day. There were several things Simeon did that set him in the sphere to hear from God. Read Luke 2:25-28 in … Continue reading Day 31 – Prompted

Day 29 – God of New Beginnings
We do it all the time. The internet running too slow; hit the reset button. Your phone gets frozen; do a hard reset. Your computer gets caught in the loop; just restart it. Direct TV not working; unplug it and start over. Starting over clears out all the excess data that is slowing down our … Continue reading Day 29 – God of New Beginnings

Day 27 – Hi Ho Hi Ho It’s back to work we go
They went back to work. It is a simple sentence describing and action we all do after Christmas. My grandson told me he cried a little Christmas night because Christmas was over and he had to wait 365 days until next Christmas. I get that. I feel the same way. In fact this year I'm … Continue reading Day 27 – Hi Ho Hi Ho It’s back to work we go

Day 19 – The Holy Spirit of God
Life is full of joys and sorrows, and so we ride this roller coaster. Sometimes we soar around the curves raising our hands and accepting the adventure and the thrills. Other times we cling to the bars as the roller coaster spins at a break neck speed around curves that catch us off guard. That … Continue reading Day 19 – The Holy Spirit of God
Day 18 – Are we there yet?
I walked into Kevin's office and sat down. "So guess what?" I said timidly. "We have an opportunity to serve with our family in Ethiopia. What do you think?" "Sounds awesome" Kevin encouraged. "What's the plan?" "Yeah. About that. There is no devoloped plan as of yet." All the while on the plane trip over, … Continue reading Day 18 – Are we there yet?
