Today, God Made a Farm Wife: Write for 31 Days
Today's "God-Spot" showed up in a bean field, and in the heart of this farm wife. I'm writing every day for 31 days, with just five days to go! To read more posts, click on the button at left. A funny thing happened on our Sunday drive. Sunday afternoon drives through the country used to be pretty common in our neck of the woods. I...
When Cancer Is Her Truth, She Needs You: Write for 31 Days
It was a beautiful Fall day, a good day for the three of us "sisters from another mister" to share some shopping, fellowship, sushi. And, oh yes, a mammogram. One of my friends had a scare in the past, so we went with her for this appointment. We prayed for her as she underwent this most dreaded of tests on the morning of our outing. (My other...
Like Chocolate, ‘Sweet as Honey in Your Mouth’: Write for 31 Days
Today's "God-Spot" was found hiding in the back of my kitchen cupboard. I'm joining other bloggers on Day 23 of our quest to Write for 31 Days. My husband found my chocolate stash, and there was much celebrating in our house. I had hidden the silver-wrapped bars safely in a corner of the cupboard for my future pleasure and forgotten...
To Have and To Hold, a Heart Surrendered: Write for 31 Days
Weddings are my favorite family celebration. Nothing is more beautiful than a woman prepared to wed the man who has captured her heart. And her man looks his most manly as he watches the woman of his dreams walk down the aisle. We were blessed to celebrate three weddings over the past several months and each of them was perfect in their own...
A Little Bear Philosophy for the Weekend: Write for 31 Days
As promised on Day 17, here's something a little more light-hearted for today's "God-Spot". Have a blessed weekend! ...
Prepare to Stand for What You Believe: Write for 31 Days
It's taken me all day to work up the courage to write this Day 17 post for 31 Days. I'll not call it a "God-Spot" because it's so much more than a momentary sighting. It's about God showing us how to stand when it really matters. I didn't plan on meeting a well-known apologist at dinner. Who would expect to be eating chicken and green...
When Family Trumps Blogging: Writing for 31 Days
The "God-Spot" for Day 15 just didn't happen. Not that I didn't see God in my day. He was all over it --at my coffee date with a dear friend, in the conversations with fellow ministry workers, in my Beth Moore Bible study. But the blog post I had started for Day 15 wasn't at the top of my list by the end of the day. Family needs were. So, I...
Nature or Nurture? To God Be the Glory: Writing for 31 Days
The three dwarf apple trees we've cultivated on our farm for many years are nearly void of apples this fall. Last year at this time, the branches were so laden that many touched the ground. We were begging people to come and pick apples. It's possible that, had we sprayed, pruned and fed our trees, we could have had a greater harvest this...
Write the Vision Because Words Matter: Writing for 31 Days
It's raining in the valley today and I'm having a "connectivity problem" on the internet. Our early morning fog has lingered, transforming the landscape into a misty canvas for the rain-soaked trees visible in the foreground. The view reflects the landscape of my heart: "Save me, God, for the water has risen to my neck. I have sunk in deep mud...
