Risk In the Real World
And when He had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch.” And Simon Peter answered, “Master, we worked hard all night and caught nothing, but at Your bidding I will let down the nets.” And when they had done this, they enclosed…
Who is Jesus?
If you spend anytime reading my blog, I hope you know this question is not referring to my fundamental belief that Jesus is the Son of God. So who is Jesus, to you? Is He still a tiny baby in a manger who you think about once or twice a year? Someone you pray to…
Whatever You Do…
ââŠwhatever you do, do all things to the glory of God.â I Corinthians 10:31 This Scripture was a convicting one for me because I am so guilty of not doing all things to the glory of God. Though I am learning about how to invite God’s glory into my daily life, I usually grumble (outloud…
Chasing Rainbows
(c) Staci Stallings, 2005 I’ve always loved rainbows, so this lesson was a little hard for me to learn. A few friends and I got together to sing-one of my favorite things to do. One of the songs we pulled out was about chasing rainbows. It said in effect that we’re all just chasing pretty…
Who Has He Helped Through You Today?
(c) Staci Stallings, 2004 As I write this, it is December 5th. I mention that because with Christmas coming up, it is the season of giving. Along with the normal gifts, this is also the season when our thoughts turn to those less fortunate. The paper angel trees go up in the malls. The kettles…
A Writer Going Home
Celebrating my savior’s birth notwithstanding, at this point I feel loaded down with the holiday season’s commercialism and busyness. Don’t misunderstand. Christmas was great, but how do I come down from it, so I can get back to writing? Sugar plum fairies still dance in my head uninvited. Really, you too? So then, what do…
A Gift from Above
(c) Gina Conroy October 25, 1990 While asking the Lord what I should write for this Sunday, He reminded me of a Chritmas song I wrote over 15 years ago. Though you won’t be able to hear the tune over the internet, may the words reach down deep into your soul! A Gift From Above…
Ever Faithful
(c) Staci Stallings, 2006 For many years of my life, I wanted to be successful. I put a lot of effort into that endeavor. I worked and worked and worked. If I joined an organization, I had to be president because I wanted the organization to be successful and I wanted to be seen as…
A Prayer when you’re Running on Empty
I feel like the last couple of weeks I’ve been coasting down hill, running on empty. Like many people, my life has become insanely busy and the more important things have been pushed to the curb or all together forgotten. Often times I’ve thought of pulling off the interstate to refuel, but obstacles in the…
Scripture Memory–Kid Style
Scripture Memory–Kid Style (c)Tricia Goyer, 9/2006 This morning, I read a great blog on Home-steeped Hope about teaching Scripture memory to kids. You can read it here. Anyway, it got me thinking about our family’s efforts of memorizing Scripture verses through the years. I will be starting my 13th year of homeschooling this year, and…
