You might be asking, “What is time mush?” It is a phrase and a picture that the Holy Spirit inspired me with. Let me walk you through it. Being retired, there are days where I have no appointments or commitments, nothing to press me into motion. At the same time, I know if I try …
As I worshiped on Sunday morning, I was struck with the difference in how people participate in worship. My husband and I are totally opposite. I’m an exuberant worshipper and he is an introspective worshipper. While I am clapping or lifting my hands, swaying and singing, he is quiet and still, sometimes bowing his head. …
Last week I mentioned the Bible plan my support group was reading, about how to change your life by changing your thoughts. It was full of good insights, but good and easy are not equal partners. Today I was mulling over the second concept—I might have to read this plan again—the author talked about the …
It’s amazing how a rainy day or a lack of sleep can affect a person. Especially if it’s on top of a long list of other stressors. So what’s a person to do? How can we get out of a funk? It was fortuitous that the Bible plan we started today talked about this very …

As I look for a verse or two, to provide the biblical foundation for my word for the year, I’ve come across a nuance of two words which can be used similarly. Pursue and seek. Pursue is the word the Spirit has given me, yet the scriptures I’m drawn to use the word seek. Let …
The power of this promise has brought me comfort in many of my anxious moments. This past week being one of those moments, as I am navigating through another round of vertigo and trying to understand the cause. O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know when I sit …
Believe it or not I’ve been thinking about my word for next year, and as I recall it was this time last year that I found my word for this year. That has me thinking that for me God wants my year to start in September. Who am I to argue? This year’s word has …
Well… I guess I’m going deep today. The verses that Holy Spirit have been bringing to mind are not the kind to tickle your ears. They are the kind that hold up a magnifying glass. If you are just starting to get to know God, this post is not a place to begin, but it …
