Ever have a day when things were just crummy? One thing after another .....then it dawned on me. Haven't been in the Word for 2 days....perfect timing for the rotten scoundrel to start moving in. Ever happen to you?Just proves to me how important that daily time with Him is. Well I'll show that stinkin' villain....it won't be 3 days I can tell you for sure! 1 Peter 5:8 : "Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour."

The Big Chief Tablet

"Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, today, and forever." -Hebrews 13:8 (ESV) Those who know me well, realize that my family runs a fireworks stand every year.  It's tedious and very tiring, but we are basically doing it for our grandchildren.  They work, we supervise, and we get irreplaceable time with them. It's a win-win, even though I am exhausted at the end of the 2 weeks. Six of the 8 grandchildren are old enough to do some type of work in the stand.  The other day, I needed to make a list of some of our product.  I asked the youngest granddaughter to go into the camper to get the tablet for me so I could do that.  After a few moments, she comes back to the tent with my ipad.  You see, times have changed.  Tablet in my mind was the pad of paper I had in the cabinet under the tv. She , understands tablet to mean my electronic device.  All the older kids said they would have done the same thing.   They didn't gr...

Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire!

" For you are the children of your father the devil, and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies."                                                                   - John 8:44 Sometimes it just starts as a thought.  Sometimes it starts out as a fullblown act.  And sometimes it never hapens although we want it to.  It's a lie we tell ourselves, the world tells us, and sometimes other Christians even tell us.  But most importantly, it is a lie of Satan to lead us here we should not go. GOD WANTS ME TO BE HAPPY We've all heard stories about people using this excuse when they are trying to convince some...

When Silence Breaks Your Heart

Image
"How long, Lord, must I call for help but you do not listen?  Or cry out to you, 'Violence!' but you do not save?" Habakkuk 1:3 We've all been there. Prayers that bounce off the wall.  No answers when we cry out day after day, week after week, month after month.  We question the goodness of a God who seems silent when we, desperate for answers and solutions, beg Him with tears, moans, and sometimes anger.  Why????? Often, when we look back, months and sometimes years later, we see what The Plan was.  Sometimes we don't. But when we are actually going through the experience of petitioning our God for our needs and we feel unheard and unloved, it's not easy. If you are familiar with Lysa Terkeurst, she's faced a number of battles recently when she has cried out to God for answers.  She experienced a marriage crisis and breast cancer within the last two years.  But in her new book, "It's Not Supposed to Be This Way", Ly...
