Have you ever been so nervous that your head shook? We’ve all had times when we were so nervous our palms got sweaty and our hands shook; or for some, our knees actually knocked. Yes, I’ve been in those situations. Once, when I was about 14 years old and had just become involved in the [...]

Have you ever felt like you were standing in the middle of a tornado and the only reason you knew you weren’t  is that there’s no wind? Well that’s pretty much the way I felt one particular Sunday morning. Now, if we’re being honest with each other I think we can all agree that Sunday [...]

My husband just participated in his first triathlon.  A few months ago he came home from the gym and said they were sponsoring a triathlon. He asked me if I’d like to sign up also and I just laughed.  I prefer to be the one on the sidelines cheering him on as I sip on [...]

If there’s one thing that God reminds me of over and over is that He can handle the details in my life. You will find me saying this again and again. I think  He likes to give me “new songs of praise” to sing to Him, new things to thank Him and praise Him for. [...]

Right outside my bathroom window there’s a large tree. From that upstairs window I can see all types of birds that visit that tree, along with a family of squirrels. It seems to be a great tree to stop by and visit but for one particular bird, it is home. The reason I know this [...]

I saw the strangest thing the other day. I got in my car to run some errands and as I pulled out of my driveway I saw a vulture in the road. I’m talking about a real vulture, you know, the kind that is in the Disney movie “The Jungle Book.” I didn’t even know [...]

So far in our study we’ve looked at Scripture that says all things were created by God for God (Col.1:16) – so music was created by Him for Him. It’s a wonderful tool that He’s given us to declare His worth. We’ve seen in Scripture that God sings (Zeph.3:17) and that He is surrounded by [...]
