Keeping Close
Today is my turn to post over at InScribe Writers Online. If you’re interested, my post is called “Keeping Close” and it’s about… keeping close (to God).
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend, all you Canadians! Everyone else, have a great weekend too. But we Canadians are feasting… maple-bacon turkey with sausage stuffing, in my house.
Can you relate?
Do you ever have those days when you’re frustrated, trying to cram too much into too little time, pushing your agenda instead of God’s? Check out God’s girl’s post, “Prying My Fingers Loose.”
The Ride of Your Life
Today’s my day to post at InScribe Writers Online. Spiritual lessons from hanging upside down on a crazy carnival ride? Check out “The Ride of Your Life“.
Who me, fret?
There’s an article at Thoughts Selected that I think we all need to read: “Fret Not Yourself.”
Author/teacher M. Hernandez begins with “Among our many human weaknesses, one of the most outstanding is fretting or complaining.” Instead of stopping there, she offers a simple, practical way to train our spirits in gratitude and praise to God.
Spiritual exercise, like physical, takes time and persistence. But it brings results.
Christ in Me
It’s my turn to post at InScribe Writers Online, too. My new post is Christ in Me.

“But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,
whose confidence is in him.“He will be like a tree planted by the water
that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought
and never fails to bear fruit.” Jeremiah 17:7-8 (New International Version) (NIV)Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society
Jeremiah means both men and women, of course. We’re planted, alright, but the busyness of life can leach our focus off of God. Sunday morning worship ….
In North American society, it feels like we go to church for a serving of spiritual teaching but then head back into daily life. Life which, no matter how wonderful, can wear us down. I don’t know about you, but before too long I’m battle-weary and drained. I’d love to spend hours alone with God, or immersed in a Bible study or inspirational book, but the time isn’t there.
Most days, I crawl into wakefulness early so I can have time with God before the world starts its demands. I love my sleep, but it’s a necessary sacrifice. Still, I long for more. I miss the close times with the LORD. My hope with this blog is to share a little encouragement once or twice a week, a spiritual snippet to re-energize us.
