We Will Remember
What do you think of when you hear the number 1.25 million? It’s a substantial number, but more significant is the fact that 1.25 million people believed in America so deeply they were willing to die for Her. And so we remember. For example, we will remember that: Over 7,000 U.S. troops have died in…
Read MoreLet’s Pray for America!
For the National Day of Prayer this week, let’s just pray for America. Here’s a scriptural prayer we can pray today and any day. It’s so vital that we keep praying. Remember, it won’t be our leaders who will save America (although they need our prayers too)–it will be the God of Heaven’s Armies, Creator…
Read MoreWhy Pray Continually?
Why pray continually? Doesn’t God hear our prayer the first time? Why do we sometimes have to pray the same thing over and over and over? We walk in a dangerous place. Sometimes deceptively beautiful, but the war between good and evil rages on because the enemy (satan) is relentless. You may be facing a…
Read MoreWhat if?
What if God really is the missing link that will keep America from falling apart? What if our Christianity has been the reason for our blessings (Psalm 33:12)? What if walking away from God and the Bible is to our demise? What if we returned to our Christian roots? Some say we shouldn’t say things…

It came and went…the day many people planned for, spent money and time for travel, and looked forward to–the total solar eclipse over the United States. An amazing event for sure, one not seen in over a thousand years, and one there’s been a lot of talk and speculation about. On Sunday, I shared a…

I am SO EXCITED to announce that The Wake-up Prayer children’s picture book releases this Friday, January 19!! It teaches kids (about ages 2-7) how to pray at the beginning of their day and that God is with them and helps them throughout the day. Did you grow up praying the children’s prayer, “Now I…
Read MoreWhat’s So Merry About Christmas?
What’s so merry about Christmas? It’s the third week of Advent, which is about joy. I know for many it’s difficult to feel the “joy” of the season. For several years I dreaded this supposed cheerful time. I stopped putting up a tree and other previously beloved decorations. I just wanted to skip Christmas, hide…
Read MoreOverwhelmed?
Is anyone else feeling overwhelmed lately? Sometimes things just seem to be too much. Whether due to physical ailments, financial or relational situations, our to-do lists running off the page, or the state of our country and world, it’s easy to become overwhelmed. Many things seem out of our control, and it can discourage and…
Read MoreOur God is a Mighty Fortress
What does it mean that God is a mighty fortress? While I appreciate hymns very much, I like the simpler language and musical style of the contemporary Christian music. However, at a recent writers conference, the old hymn, “A Mighty Fortress is Our God” was sung, which I hadn’t heard in a long time. It…

What do we do when life is messed up? What do we do when things seem worse instead of better? Life can be that way sometimes. Jesus told us in the world we would have troubles, and that He would overcome (John 16:33). But what do we do in the meantime? It’s interesting to look…
