A memory flashes through my mind. Unfortunately, that memory came one Wednesday morning during Mass. The word whole jumped out at me when our priest spoke it during his homily. However, I’m embarrassed to admit that my mind wandered off to something that was not what you would anticipate during his words of inspiration. It… Continue reading Whole

Why follow From God's Lips?
In our busy world, our soul desires quiet time with God. His desire is that we spend time with him, focusing only our building our relationship with him. He wants to hear our words speaking to Him - our needs, concerns and definitely remembering to give Him thanks for everything - both in joy and sorrow. God is calling you to spend time with him through the positive words He has placed in my heart. I hope you will, along with me, share and grow in His love.

One – I was struck by lightning recently! Lightning in the sense that God can strike at moment’s notice, with no warning. One – it only takes one person to make a difference, and He reminded me of that again. With Jesus, was it important to Him to count the numbers of the followers He… Continue reading One

My first real job out of high school spanned a period of 13 years. I think, especially these days, that’s a pretty good run. I was a secretary, holding a few different positions over those years, each one taking on more responsibility. For some reason, when Secretary’s Day came around, it was so important to… Continue reading Acknowledge
Courage
When I think about the word courage today, it was because I remembered reading an inspiring letter that was written by both a former client and someone I also consider to be a friend. He and his family had the courage to start a church from scratch. Looking from the outside in, I always admired… Continue reading Courage

I remember my father loved to play games. Two of his favorites were backgammon and scrabble and I have very fond memories of those times. But much as I remember playing games as a child, I don’t recall if I was very competitive in nature. My husband’s family, on the other hand, loved to play… Continue reading Victory

Gratitude
Don’t panic! It’s not Thanksgiving yet. Funny how we think of gratitude and giving thanks mainly around the holidays. However, it truly should be a year-round practice, with gratitude always being in our thoughts and expressed to those around us. As a child, I remember participating in lots of scavenger hunts in school and birthday… Continue reading Gratitude
Rainbow
How many rainbows have you witnessed in your lifetime? I bet quite a few; and it never gets old does it? This time of the year, especially here in Florida, it’s hurricane season. Every year the predictions are plentiful, with the “experts” trying to estimate how many storms will get named, and everyone else praying… Continue reading Rainbow
Prayer
What does your prayer time look like? Do you have a special place or time of the day that you sit quietly with Jesus? I wonder if we did a survey, posing those same questions, if we wouldn’t be surprised by the results. I must admit that I have trouble with structured prayer. I admire… Continue reading Prayer
