Someone once asked the question, what is it like to be aContinue reading “Give me a word, Lord: I’M SO GLAD I’M GOD’S PUMPKIN”

Give me a word, Lord: GOD IN THE VALLEY

Give me a word, Lord: REFRESHED

Psalm 23 The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength.

Give me a word, Lord: FEELING LUKEWARM?

Revelations 3:17 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.  We stopped at a Waffle House for breakfast early this morning, and as I was asking the LordContinue reading “Give me a word, Lord: FEELING LUKEWARM?”
