This past week as I sat to journal as I do every day, I recorded 4/4/24. That rang a bell in my memory. On 4/4/74 I set apart a day to pray about what I should do with about 250 poems I had written over the previous 15 months. I heard nothing, so I decided to type each one on a paper, put them in a box, and send them to a local publishing house listed in the yellow pages….
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…
On the 3rd of July I lost my new earring. It wasn’t an expensive gem, but I really liked that it was lightweight and pretty. I checked online and bought what I thought was a duplicate. It wasn’t. In retracing my steps from that day, I knew it had to be somewhere in the house because I hadn’t gone anywhere, although I did water the garden and the grass. After I stewed about it for a few days, I sent…
As we watch hiccup after hiccup of our government from our wide-open borders, runaway government corruption, and out-of-control inflation, the situations seem insurmountable. These would be if it were not for one overwhelming factor. God. He tells us in Philippians 4:6,7, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ…
This past weekend we had a women’s retreat at church. One of the break-out sessions was on interactive praying. They featured the book The Joyful Journey: Listening to Immanuel. This book explains Immanuel Journaling. Beginning with His name, write to Jesus something for which you feel grateful. Then express to Him WHY you are grateful for the things you have listed. Then, beginning with your name, sit quietly before Him and write what you hear is His response to your gratitude….

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…
(Photo by Aaron Kittredge.) Unfortunately, the White House doesn’t look like this anymore. It stands behind high fences with razor-wire laced along the top. When I went to find a picture of how it looks today, every one refused to load. The excuse I saw on the screen “Unable to load for security reasons.” What a sad day we’re living in. As I read Levicitus 26 the other day I was struck by the content. At about verse 14 God…
In this week of Thanksgiving our attention is on giving praise. Hebrews 13:15 says, “let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name.” Two words stand out here to me. Continually, means “without cessation or intermission; unceasingly; always.” So we are to be in a constant state of giving thanks by praise to God. But what if what’s happening looks very bleak? The person you’re praying…
This past Friday night and Saturday Christians descended on Washington D.C. for prayer meetings similar to Washington for Jesus of 1980 and 1988. This one was labeled TheReturn.org led by Jewish/Christian believers in Jesus. Jonathan Cahn, author of The Harbinger, The Harbinger II and The Oracle was one of the organizers. There were additional groups led by James Dobson, Pat Robertson, and Franklin Graham. The attendees were guided in prayers of repentance so that we might see a revival in…
