"To them it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to us they were ministering the things which now have been reported to you through those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things which angels desire to look into." 1 Peter 1:12 Angels are among us. I feel…
Strength, Peace, Love and Joy
I have had some rough days (and especially nights) lately with intense pain throughout my entire body and muscle weakness that has made it difficult to walk at times. The last 2 days have been “not horrible”, which is a huge blessing but I tend to push through what pain I do have to get…
Sufficient for Today
James Dean said: "Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today". I love this because it is a reminder to me that whatever is going on in my life, I need to hope for the future, but live for the blessings of today. If you've been to my house Christmas morning,…

Waiting for Positive
I was sharing a video with my husband last night made by a guy whose wife had been sick for several years with an unknown illness. She suffered so much - enduring severe pain that would cause her to pass out. Lots of tests provided no answers. Doctors told them that her symptoms were psychological…
God is Still God.
