What Will I Leave in My Wake?

September 14, 2016 by

As I sit here, there are watercraft running up and down the lake before me.  Each boat or jet ski that passes creates a wake behind it.  That wake becomes a small wave the originates from one small place, but casts its impact all the way to the waters edge some hundreds of yards away.  Everything in the path of that wake moves on top of the water because of the impact of the wave. I can’t help but wonder what kind {Read More}

Healing from Mean Girl Pain

June 10, 2016 by

“Sticks and stone may break my bones, but words can never hurt me.” Were you taught that as a child? I know I was.  The well-meaning adult who taught it to me was sincere in trying to help me see that words can’t physically bring pain. She was wrong about the pain that words can inflict. Words linger in our minds long after the person is gone, and the enemy replays them often. Someone can compliment you over and over, but {Read More}

Are You A Mean Girl?

June 6, 2016 by

I posted a question on social media asking for help writing this article on Mean Girls and, within an hour, I had over 35 comments not to mention the likes that came as a part of each comment. Mean girls have existed since man’s time on earth began because sin entered the world.  Along with sin came selfishness, jealousy, revenge, pain and just plain hurt. The rapid response to my questions made me keenly aware that there are many hurting {Read More}

April 22, 2016 by

* Affiliate links included. “Now I lay me down to sleep…”  Do you remember the rote prayer we learned as children?  Or maybe you taught your children, “God is great, God is good. Let us thank Him for our food.”  There is nothing wrong with teaching a child those simple prayers, but as our children get older we want to teach them how to talk to God about their everyday problems and give Him thanksgiving for the things He is {Read More}
