A Blanket In The Cold (2026 Reissue)

 One of my all time favorite must haves that I keep with me during these cold (and occasionally snowy and windy) winter months is a trusty warm blanket.  I have a whole linen closet full & feel you can never have enough.  You can also never have enough Jesus. In the bitter coldness of this world, He is a blanket like source of warmth and comfort. A place of rest when our souls become weary; the armor that serves as a shield during those particularly windy storms of life. A source of guidance and truth through it all.  "Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him". (Proverbs 30:5) I would never be able to sleep comfortably at night without at least one blanket at night, sometimes two on those REALLY cold nights. Who are you relying on to pull you through those long dark nights? Where is your source of comfort and warmth to be found? Who do you turn to for guidance? "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power o...

Are Your Glasses Broken?

  Writing for the Lord fills my heart with SO much joy---although I will admit that I sometimes try to be too technical & that can totally ruin my creative process.  I live for the moments that can be used for His glory.  And tonight, I have a little story and a thought that the Lord placed on my heart to share.  Now, I know this is the question that everyone has on their minds as they're seeing this random photograph of a pair of broken glasses.  Why would I choose to share that?  These aren't my glasses....but I did manage to break my own last night.  Those glasses have sat on my head for a total of six years (I am way past due for an eye examination.) but I will honestly admit that I had been careless with them long before this ever happened. I lived with the worst habit of leaving them lying around in random places, never remembering where they were on any given day.  Until finally, I sat on them and *snap*  It was a clean break.

A Time To Reset (New Years 2026)

I have kept this thought on my heart for a while now (honestly even before Christmas celebrations ever began) & I have pondered over where to even start with it but I do sometimes make writing for the Lord too technical. The best of what He has given me has only ever come from the heart. ❤️ Have you ever dealt with a laptop that just won't cooperate?  I cannot begin to tell you how many seasons of laptops that I have lived through in the four years of college and 10+ years of writing. They all eventually meet the exact same fate:  Pages won't load as efficiently. The battery won't keep its charge. The smallest task becomes its greatest challenge.  However, the most agonizing death for a computer is to have a virus absolutely consume the entire operating system, effectively rendering the device completely unusable.  At that point it becomes necessary to attempt a factory reset. It essentially wipes your operating system completely clean & provides it with a mu...
