Don’t Leave an Open Door for Your Enemy

Don't Leave an Open Door for Your Enemy
I thought I was all alone but there were noises coming from the cellar.  I was too afraid to open the door. . . so I didn’t. I continued to type and then from the corner of my eye, I saw something move.  I gulped and bravely looked to see him staring at me from the cellar door. Fear grabbed me and then I ran outside and screamed for Dale. The six-foot snake still[...]

The Minions of Hell Tremble

The Minions of Hell Tremble
TODAY is monumental. After 40 LONG days- Dale’s kidney stone finally left his body! Why in the world did it take so long? Thousands of people prayed for him.  Some even fasted while praying.  He was anointed with oil by our elders.  We had great faith.  We believe nothing is impossible with God.  We’ve seen Him work miracles many times… Why did it take so long?[...]

He Gives His Angels Charge to Protect You

He Gives His Angels Charge to Protect You
It was nearly midnight as I rolled into the gas station in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio. I opened the gas cap  to pump the gas and a group of motorcycle riders surrounded me. They wore leather vests and jackets with symbols I didn’t understand. The one who spoke had scars all over his face with fingerless leather gloves and chains hung from under his vest. He demanded th[...]

With Every Great Endeavor there’s Manure to Shovel

With Every Great Endeavor there's Manure to Shovel
Farm life lives up to its nostalgic romantic ideology most days.  Other times it’s stinking hard! Like the days you have to shovel manure. . . The scenic farm with sheep grazing on luscious green fields, cows milked in scrupulously clean barns, and chickens nesting on fresh hay bundles- are the product of unseen hard work. Shoveling manure is one of my least favori[...]

If You are My Disciple- You will Deny Self, Pick up Your Cross and Follow Me
The winner’s from last week’s apron drawing: Christi  8/29 at 3:09PM and Rebecca  8/28 at 2:16 PM. Thank you for praying for Jonathan. He is doing wonderfully well! It is a slow recovery but he couldn’t be doing better. You have no idea what peace I had knowing YOU were praying!! A good word from David Wilkerson: Never once does our Lord say, Stoop down and[...]

Stewarding His Glory

Stewarding His Glory
“The Glory which You gave to Me I have given to them. . . that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them, as You have loved Me.” John 17:22-23 Last week I was at Proverb's 31’s She Speaks conference. It was phenomenal! Michael Hyatt was the keynote speaker Saturday night. One thing he said really struck me: “A goal without a date is a dre[...]

Overcoming Fear

Overcoming Fear
This past weekend while mowing, I rode down the path that leads to the edge of the woods.  I turned off the motor and sat… I could hear a symphony of crickets and frogs making music.  I saw deer and bunnies grazing—it was breathtaking.  A year ago that very path had been where I walked and met God at the beginning of my day.  I could pray out loud and no one could[...]

Our Hospital Debt was PAID in FULL

  Winners of aprons announced at bottom of post! An envelope was taped to our front door.   It was a warrant for us to appear in court for Dale’s unpaid hospital bill.  ( you  should read the story if you're new to my blog). The original bill was over $30,000. We had been waiting for the insurance company to settle the claim. Well, they decided not to pa[...]
