October 31, 2011

It has taken me a few days of wallowing in my home to be able to pen this post. Although it was on my heart when I wrote that last one, I just had to have a few days to get my strength back. Strength that I only get from my home and family. Honey [...]

I have nothing–except…..

A time to PLOP!

May 23, 2011

I PLOPPED into my Prayer Chair this morning. Are you familiar with “PLOPPING” verses “sitting”. You may need to be. PLOPPING makes more of an impact, more of a statement. It is more intentional and has more purpose behind it. PLOPPING has the purpose of STAYING in the placed plopped for a substantial period of [...]

I am settling into the TINY town of Artesia, New Mexico struggling NOT to take a belated Sunday afternoon nap. I have to sleep tonight in order to “finish well” my assignment in this windy state.

January 25, 2011

1) I would still have REAL people, with WARM blood flowing through their veins, answer telephone calls regarding flights. 2) I would not charge to let someone “EARLY check-in”, after all, they would be doing ME a favor. 3) I would encourage checking bags so that my guests–who PAID me to fly on my planes–would [...]

I am sitting in the lamplight of our cozy B&B kitchen in Alaska. My only company at this hour is a steaming cup of coffee, a sinfully yummy muffin oozing with melted butter (forgive me Lysa ), my Bible and a journal. The twinkle of tiny white lights woven all through the outside shrubbery is [...]

Alaska!! I was speaking at a conference in Dallas last year, in the heat of Summer BTW, when a woman with a funny accent approached me. She said “God told our team before we came to this conference that He would show us who He was going to use to help us encourage the church [...]

Cotton Pickin’ Peace

October 19, 2010

I recently spoke at a woman’s conference and shared some very personal pain. After it was over many women expressed their thanks that I would tell such things from behind a podium. Sadly, our churches can sometimes be a place where sharing personal failure is not a common occurrence. The ladies also expressed surprise that [...]
