This past Thursday, Feb. 8, 2024, I drove out of my way home to Kansas City, for 577 miles from St. Simon’s Island, Georgia to Cape Henry, Virginia, in order to read Rev. Robert Hunt’s declaration that he made before stepping on this land for the first time on April 29, 1607. By the time I arrived at 5:30 p.m., the little hut pictured above, was closed. Id’ missed the last tour by an hour and a half. In the…
(photo from pexels) My daughter, Keep your eyes on Me, your prize. Continue in My love–even to the unlovely. Keep trusting Me for the needs you encounter. I am your supply. Never tire of resting in Me. I love your petitions and praises. I have planned your steps. Trust Me for every one. Father God, Help me to remember and do Your Word.
Photo by Poppy Thomas Hill There are a couple of great websites I follow every day. The first is GiveHim15.com from Dutch Sheets for prayer strategies for our nation and world. He is a great source of encouragement. The second is a newer list to me. It’s elijahlist.com. A recent post, “This Month, Push Into Him for Miracles” by Jamie Rohrbauch was an excellent one. In the article she gives some very practical suggestions for seeing God move in your…
Last Sunday at Colonial Presbyterian Church, Overland Park Campus, the congregation enjoyed a play by the youth choirs about Daniel in the Lion’s Den. There were many good messages throughout, but one in particular stood out to me. There is no god greater than the One who shut the lion’s mouths and who joined Daniel’s three friends in the firey furnace and even kept them from smelling of smoke when they came out unharmed. He hasn’t changed. He’s still the…
As I write this, it has now been five months since my husband left his earth suit behind and entered heaven. I am daily filled with joy when I think where he is in Jesus’ presence. Since his transfer, I have promised myself to read more. One book, given me by a dear friend entitled, Hope for an Aching Heart by Margaret Nyman, was a very blessed read. I bought another book recommended to me the other day. The cover claims it…
Recently I had an opportunity to visit Bass Pro Shops Big Cedar Lodge on Table Rock Lake near Branson, MO for a wedding. Through a front gate, along a winding road, then a scenic ride on a shuttle, brought us to the site of the wedding. At the end of a long underground walkway we emerged to see this magnificent site set in a reflecting pool overlooking Table Rock. To the left of The End of the Trail sculpture sat…
For the past five months I’ve been learning new software to audio record my God’s Little Miracle Book (I, II, & III) series. After recording in two-hour segments at the local Johnson County Library MakerSpace and spending looooong hours in editing, they are now finished and up on Amazon.com for Audible, Amazon download, and iTunes. I was inspired to do this project when the director of a nursing home I visit every week for my chaplain duties asked me to…
A writer loves to hear from their readers, and I’m no exception. When I was at the Christian Writers Conference in Fort Scott recently, I met a new friend, Maranatha. She bought one of my God’s Little Miracle Books to use as a devotional to start the day with her homeschooled kids. I received an email from her recently which read: Dear Sally, I just wanted to pop in and say your first book on miracles is proving to be…
Psalm 37:1 Do not fret because of evildoers, be not envious toward wrongdoers. We can waste a lot of time getting our tails in a knot from the things we see and hear going on around us. In these days we have multiple opportunities every day to be incensed at what we see and hear both at home and abroad. Often we must remind ourselves Who is in charge and that He has a plan. Sometimes we jump into…
Isaiah 60:15 Whereas you have been forsaken and hated with no one passing through, I will make you an everlasting pride, a joy from generation to generation. Have you ever felt God has abandoned you? That He has forgotten your name? That you no longer matter to Him? If so, take heart. This scripture is for you. Even from the first word, “whereas” this is meant to encourage you. “Whereas” carries a meaning of “being burdened, oppressed, in subjection or…
