Wounding Words

Shhh! You are too loud! Can't you just sit still for once? I don't have time for this (you). Your body language offends people. You're too big to dance. Don't be so bull-headed. If you are going to act like a baby, then... Words. They can speak life or death. As scripture tells us, there… Continue reading Wounding Words

The Great Recycler

Sometimes we just feel like garbage. I’m not talking about when we are ill, and our bodies feel like trash.

Perhaps to some degree, if they are… Continue reading Write Your Own Script, My Dear

The Goodness of God

On a Wednesday night a while back, my friend and I led worship at our church. She’d picked a song I didn’t know very well, “The Goodness of God”. As we practiced before service, I was caught up in this song, with almost a vibration humming in my spirit. Don’t you just love when Holy… Continue reading The Goodness of God

Forgive Myself?

You may have experienced God’s love and forgiveness, but here’s a question…Do you forgive yourself? It seems that many of us struggle with this act-of-the-heart which would release us from something we’ve done in our past and the self-guilt and shame that plagues us. Several of us discussed this unforgiveness during a Bible study I’m… Continue reading Forgive Myself?
