What's Up with This Blog?


I love Jesus.
I do.
I like talking about God stuff.
A few "nice" people kept saying I should write about Jesus and God stuff. 


My awesomely perfect husband is low maintenance and actively engaged in ministry and golf, not always in that order.
My kids are grown and gone; thankfully employed and happily living their own lives.
I have this cool iMac and high speed internet.
I've exchanged my OCD housekeeping rituals, hacking my way around the golf course, and dabbling in arts & crafts for blogging.

 So, that's what's up with this blog.

30,000 PROMISES

There are said to be thirty thousand promises made  to the child of God, but they are of no more value  to  us than statements in the newspaper if we  do  not  personally appropriate them. J. Oswald Sanders, Spiritual Maturity PROMISE #1 I came across this sentence about two weeks ago and it has resurfaced in my thoughts again and again.  Yesterday I calculated that if I found 4.5 promises every single day I could find all 30,000 if I lived to be 80 years old.   How many promises support our lives every single day?  I don't know the number, but wouldn't be surprised if it were in the hundreds. Promises that reveal God's: PERSON PLAN PRESENCE POWER PROVISION PURPOSES PROTECTION PATIENCE There are literally thousands of promises that reveal His NATURE, LOVE, GRACE, MERCY, and FORGIVENESS. We, His children by faith, are supported and graced by the promises God has given us. Every day I want to fin...

You Know You're in Africa When. . .

You know you're in Africa when color is everywhere  and small children are carried in a sling on Mom's  back.  This cloth, used all over Africa,  is the original "hands free" device .    You know you're in Africa when the mother and baby goat are part of the checked luggage that rides on top of the bus.  Gary says he has never seen them held in with ropes , it may be a new traffic regulation.      You know you're in Africa when the local Record store is called Beautiful Jesus Music.  You know you're in Africa when the oncoming traffic has horns and knows how to use them.   You know you're in Africa when the goats eat the park bench. You know you're in Africa when  the ants make a hill taller than your car. And finally, you know you're in Africa when the clouds look like they've been created in Photo Shop. But they weren't...

Dealing with Conflict in Marriage

Preparing for Battle Marble Floor in Siena's Duomo Photo © 2013 Kelly Grace The smoke has cleared and the dust has settled, so let's talk about marital fights. Recall the last time you and your spouse had a fight. Was it in the evening, or worse yet, late at night? Was it a completely new issue or were you having a new fight about an OLD issue? After a recent and thankfully rare fight, Gary and I started our own joint list  of rules and restrictions pertaining to disagreements. These are uniquely designed to address our own weaknesses as individuals and as a couple.   They are custom tailored to fit us and our relationship. Each one is intended to help THE US prevail over THE ME. Why am I sharing something so personal and unflattering as a marital spat? Because this morning I read the following in my Bible reading: 2 Kings 13:25 And Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz recaptured from the hand of Ben-Hadad, the son of Hazael,...
