The Cadence of Life
May 01st, 201212:12 AM ETEarlier this year a friend of mine shared a secret he had learned during miles of cycling. “Don’t worry about the miles per hour,” he said. “It’s the cadence that matters. If you keep the cadence above 70 or 80 no matter how steep the hill, your miles per hour will take care of itself.” What my friend told me turned out to be true. I h... -
A You-Can’t-Afford-to-Miss Novel: Reconciliations, by Susan Elizabeth Ball
March 23rd, 201212:07 AM ETMs. Ball has crafted a delicately written, but thought-provoking story of lost love regained, and lost souls reconciled. The story walks a thin line, and does it well. In Reconciliations, you’ll encounter a full and honest treatment of significant moral issues—the author does not shy away from the reality of our world—but in a way that doesn... -

Experiencing Shekinah: Are You Standing in the Radiance of God’s Glory and Love?
February 15th, 201212:25 AM ET"Then Moses said, 'I pray You, show me Your glory!'" (Exodus 33:18 NASB) Moses and the Israelites had been in the desert for a long time.

The people complained incessantly to Moses; Moses complained to God. God ... -
Alzheimer’s: Finding Peace in the Midst of the Agony
February 02nd, 201212:06 AM ETMy sister and I stood in the funeral home singing, one last time, for our grandmother. "To the old rugged cross, I will ever be true It's shame and reproach gladly bear Then He'll call me someday, to His home far away Where His glory forever I'll share!" (by Rev. George Bennard) My grandmother was 84 years old when she died, having suffered o... -
The Loony Lady
October 04th, 201112:18 AM ETThe Lord has been working on my heart about how I sometimes look at people. Case in point is a woman at the gym I have taken to thinking of as "The Loony Lady." I see her at the gym almost every time I go and, I confess, I try to avoid her. I avoid looking at her and pretend I don't hear her even though she talks loudly. She seems to crave attentio... -
Sometimes Love Hurts
September 06th, 201112:22 AM ETOur house seems very quiet this evening—more so than usual. My husband, Rick, sits in his favorite chair reading a book. A neighbor just finished mowing his lawn, and now the stillness is deafening. As daylight wanes and the birds sing their lusty evening songs, I heave another sigh. I'm so very blessed, yet I'm feeling so very bereft at the mome... -
Love, the Rebel Force
August 05th, 201112:07 AM ETJesus said we should love our enemies. Perhaps we have heard this admonition so often we forget how revolutionary it is. It has been pointed out that most major religions, if not all, encourage doing to others as you would have others do to you, even if in a negative form. (Don't do to others what you don't want done to you.) But love your enemie... -

My True Wealth
June 16th, 201112:03 AM ETAs I tiptoe through Psalms these days, I am blessed over and over (as always) with the amazing nuggets of Truth and encouragement I find there. It's like reading love letters from God to me! They are constantly filled with reminders of His love and grace, as well as instruction and wisdom because of His great love for me. One thing that caught my ...
