Of children and parents. Ephesians 6.1-3



She was a cutie, but she was stubborn. One day this little tike of few pounds and big talk was taking a ride with her dad. Pulling out of the driveway her dad said, “Sis, sit down and put on that seatbelt.”



The little girl continued to stand.



“Sit down and put on your seatbelt right now!” the young man demanded.



Still no move to obey.



After a few more threats and a slight slowing of the car, the…

I just learned this morning that Jake (my husband) and I will have the honor of working on the crew of "8 Days" - The movie written through the eyes of an actual sex trafficking victim and inspired by actual events.

This past Thursday Homeland Security visited our studios to train the actors and crew for the shoot coming up.  Filming begins on Monday.  We were excited to learn that this film will now be shown in high schools…

Ok,you may know I've complained before. Wondering how God is going to use me. I mean I have a sensatory disorder. If someone talks to me about something and they start yelling/talking loud I tend to shut down. And people tend to get loud whenever they find out you disagree with their view point.

Well,I've been reading David Platt's book "Radical". It's by God's Grace David didn't complicate the wording and I can understand it because a lot of books I can't understand…

Why am I here?

They died,why? Why do people have to be so cruel and have others believe the only way out is suicide?

I still don't understand why I'm alive. I'm glad I'm alive because if I would have died in late 06 or sometime in 07 [that's when 8th grade was 06-07] I wouldn't have went to Heaven.

I know God is merciful. It's by His Grace I didn't take that bottle of pills that day in the living room even though I was very…

Dear Heavenly Father,I am so thankful that my name is written in the Book of Life, and I pray that all who read these words will allow You to write their name in that same book, if it is not already recorded there. Lord, bless you for Your sacrifice on the cross. I did not deserve it, but I am eternally grateful for Your love for me. Lord, help me to daily be obedient to You and follow in Your will for my life. Help me to overcome the desires of my flesh and to always choose the way of…

Ephesians chapter Six. 

In chapter five, Paul addressed husbands and wives, and as…

I often pray for discernment, asking God to help me to know His voice above all.  He says that His sheep know His voice, yet there are times when I'm not so sure that I do because what I hear does not happen or seems wrong to me.  We have so many voices playing in our heads...God's voice, the voice of satan whispering temptation and telling us we're not good enough, the voice of our own desires and sinful flesh, and the voices of all those who may have spoken curses over your life telling…

I think so many struggle over their salvation (and I certainly have) because we're like computers being reprogrammed.  GIGO = Garbage In Garbage Out.  We've been filled with so much garbage in our lives, that garbage is still coming out until we have renewed our minds to the point that our reprogramming begins to take over.

I heard this analogy and posted a short version in a discussion here and wanted to expand on this a bit.

Imagine an unwanted baby being left…

A unique place to serve God—marriage.  Ephesians 5.21-33

Think of…

How do you get out of a pit trap that keeps coming back? It seems like it's only a matter of time until something happens....

I know people tell you when you go through difficult things in life it's best to move on. But how do you move on when it's only a matter of time until it happens again? Wounds are re opened. I thought that life was different now. I thought there wouldn't be anymore cats in danger.

This has been going on since I was in 1st or 2nd grade.…

What makes God smile?  Ephesians 5.10

Hi.

Did you see it?  Tucked in the middle…

 Sorry if my title sounds anti, I am sure it got your attention. The reason for this post is a person's frame of mind. It makes me wonder how many people are focused on the concept of Heaven only because it is better than the alternative? Don't get me wrong, I think about the beauty and greatness that is the destination that I am working towards. I think of the elimination of the pain in my joints and also being free of all sin. But, it isn't what I think about. There is a time and a place…
