Ask and Receive

Some months ago I was asked to give a talk at ladies’ evangelistic event, which is the biggest event our church ladies’ group has each year. After some prayer I agreed, even though I’d rather stand up and sing any day than talk. For a time I had no idea what I was going to talk about so I did what I usually do when I havent got a clue, I asked God for his wisdom of what to do talk about and His words. The thing I love is we have that assurance from God’s word that no matter … Continue reading →

Dreams and Visions

God spoke to people in Old Testament times in dreams and visions and even in New Testament times by this manner, does this mean we can expect God to speak to us today by dreams and visions. I don’t believe it necessarily does. Yes, I know there are those that will disagree about his and that people have written books about how we can still expect God to speak to us in this manner today. These people will say that God hasn’t changed. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Certainly that is true. So what has changed? What … Continue reading →

“Stress” Dreams of a Single Mom

I am a big believer in dream analysis; okay, maybe I’m into having my dreams “officially” analyzed and I don’t necessarily think of them as “visions”—but I do think things can be worked out in my subconscious while I sleep. I’ve gotten some pretty good insight and inspiration from my dreams over the years, so I keep a dream symbol book near the bed and try to at least pay attention to what is going down in my dream world. Periodically, I have what I think of as “single parent” dreams—dreams where I am incredibly busy and there are all … Continue reading →

How To Get Your Hands On A Piece Of Aviation History

One of my dad’s dreams was to fly on the Concorde. He used to talk about it all the time. In fact, as a child I had visions of winning the lottery or becoming so successful in my career that I could buy him a ticket and fulfill his dream to ride on the supersonic jet. So much for that idea. However, I could settle for the next best thing–buying him a piece of the legendary aircraft. Then, again, I probably don’t even have enough to buy him a Concorde toilet seat. Yes, even the now-defunct needle nose airplane’s toilet … Continue reading →

Analyze This

You know that dream where everyone in the world hates you, but somehow you gain an invitation to compete on Iron Chef America where the secret ingredient is barley and one of the guest judges is Anderson “I love me some Crack Pie” Cooper, and you burn fish so badly that it looks like chicken until you pull back the skin and a sea of pin bones are revealed, and suddenly the entire kitchen goes up in flames… What do you mean you don’t remember that one? I get that one all the time, which probably explains why my 8-year-old … Continue reading →

Summer Reading Series: An Awesome Book!

Some book title, huh? It takes guts to bestow such a lofty label on your debut work, but there seems to be a method behind Dallas Clayton’s madness. Clayton penned and illustrated the psychedelic children’s picture book about dreaming big, and there’s no doubt he has equally high expectations for its future. At first glance, An Awesome Book! appears to be a sweet bedtime story, which encourages young readers to never stop dreaming, or perhaps, more importantly, never allow anyone to limit their visions. However, as pint-sized bookworms dig deeper into the 64-page explosion of colorful images and whimsical wording, … Continue reading →

Mother’s Day Loot

Twas the night before Mother’s Day… are you headed to bed with visions of sugar plums dancing in your head? If you’re dreaming of waking up to a clean house, a new Dyson, hot breakfast on a tray served to you by non-bickering children and a bouquet of perky tulips, you may want to take an extra Ambien before you hit the hay tonight. Take two if you are relying on your husband to produce your Mother’s Day loot. According a recent poll conducted by PlumDistrict.com, 44 percent of dads forget to deliver a single rose on Mother’s Day. That’s … Continue reading →

Is the Bible Irrelevant?

Is the Bible irrelevant? Apparently many people, and some of them those who claim to be Christians, think so. That’s the conclusion drawn from statistics produced recently which showed the staggering fact that ‘less than 2 of every 10 Christians in Australia are engaging with God on a daily basis through the Word.’ This is horrifying. How can our churches grow, how can Christians hope to grow in knowledge of God, in obedience in holiness unless they are reading His Word? As I read write this I am convicted that today I have not stopped and taken that prayer and … Continue reading →

Disney Dreamers Academy

Sometimes I wonder if I need to study other companies to the extent that I have Walt Disney Corp. I keep reading stories about it that make it seem like such a unique company for its levels of involvement in its community, but maybe many conglomerates are like that and I just don’t know about it. It wouldn’t surprise me if Disney was special, however, given its high consumer trust rating. Today I’m detailing another one of Disney’s philanthropic ventures, the Disney Dreamers Academy. The Disney Dreamers Academy, or for brevity’s sake the DDA, is a collaboration between Walt Disney … Continue reading →

Ever Wonder Why You Bother?

Do you ever wonder why you bother? Sometimes I do? And it’s usually when things don’t turn out the way I expect. I suspect some of you are no different. We go into a situation, we pray for guidance and we have our own ideas of how we want God to answer the prayer. That had been my case. I’d prayed about a situation and then acted in faith. Months went by and I kept faithful in prayer and hope. Unlike the situation mentioned in the prayer that never fails, then the answer came and it was what I expected. … Continue reading →
