My Victories, My Battles – Not Really Mine {Recharge Wednesday LINKUP}
Niccolò Paganini was a virtuoso violinist and composer who lived in Europe in the early 1800s and was thought to be the greatest violinist of all time. His technique while playing was unparalleled. His compositions, unique and of vanguard style. His playing of gentle passages was so beautiful that his audiences often burst into tears, and yet, he would perform some pieces with such vigor and velocity that one listener at a concert in Vienna became half-crazed and declared for days that he had Continue Reading
Manipulating God’s Timing {Recharge Wednesday LINKUP}
“May the Lord judge between us. Perhaps the Lord will punish you for what you are trying to do to me, but I will never harm you.” 1 Samuel 24:12 David and his men had been hiding when they heard the footsteps of a man entering the cave.

LINKUP! Times of Stress Expose our Weaknesses {The Atlanta Journal-Constitution}
I am not a fan of social media. This luring distraction has the power to suck me in, and I find myself wasting precious time looking at what other people are doing or reading articles often filled with fear-bearing news. But every so often, when I am at a doctor’s office or waiting to pick up my daughter from school, Twitter and Facebook keep me company. During the pandemic, I came across several posts about the fantastic things certain people were accomplishing. Someone on Twitter felt Continue Reading
A Pair-A-Cleats {Recharge Wednesday LINKUP}
I'm looking down the barrel of a CRAZY week! Anyone else out there feeling the same way? I'm sitting here on a rainy Monday, trying to reel my shrapnelled thoughts into some semblance of order so I can accomplish something. It's times like this when it does me good to remember the Lord. "From the end of the earth will I cry to Thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I." Ps. 61:2 So, today, I am remembering. Because I know if I can remember the Continue Reading
