Good morning... God's wisdom echoes. “Listen carefully: Unless a grain of wheat is buried in the ground, dead to the world, it is never any more than a grain of wheat. But if it is buried, it sprouts and reproduces itself many times over. In the same way, anyone who holds on to life just as it is destroys [...]
Good morning... Performing a routine check on our home's heating units before winter, the technician found cracked heat exchangers in two of our systems. He took pictures of the cracks. He said, "Unless you replace these two parts, dangerous carbon monoxide may be released in the air when you turn on your heaters." After calling my husband to discuss [...]
Good morning... "'I had a dream last night,' Deborah Hall told her husband. 'A wise man who changes the city. I saw him.' She gazed at him warily, as if afraid he might think she was losing her mind. Ron Hall knew better. His wife was the sanest person he knew. 'You saw a man in your dream?' 'Yes,' [...]
Good morning... God sometimes teaches truth in funky ways. In yesterday's blog message, I sent a captivating picture, a picture received by some subscribers and not by others. Then last night before heading to bed, I put the title "An unseen picture," as a place holder in my computer program and it accidentally sent while I was asleep. Now [...]
Good morning... I just stumbled upon a fascinating Bible story, expressed vividly in the Message translation. On the day you were born your umbilical cord was not cut, you weren’t bathed and cleaned up, you weren’t rubbed with salt, you weren’t wrapped in a baby blanket. No one cared a fig for you. No one did one thing to [...]
Good morning... After reading yesterday's blog God's Grace With Skin On, my writer-friend wrote: "I read your blog with tears of joy and gratefulness. God really does make beauty from ashes. He used your extraordinary skills to transform what I felt was ugliness into something for His Kingdom. Sometimes people need to see an honest exchange like we had in [...]
Good morning... One line lingers from yesterday's "sue2you" message. "Oh honey, even the saints had spiritual dry spells!" It strikes me that spiritual "dry spells" are not really dry. Actually, dry spells of the Spirit are quite often wet. Wet with weeping. Moist with meaning. Damp with deep desire. Spiritual "dry spells" carry us downstream toward the Savior of [...]
Good morning... After reading yesterday's message, "From dark to dawn," she wrote: "Oh my goodness Sue, we have such parallel stories. Please share Lindsay McCaul's beautiful song "Take My Hand" with your subscriber. Like you, my disconnected time followed a move that unexpectedly brought up emotions of loss from a miscarriage suffered over a decade earlier. We lost a [...]
Good morning... My friend shared her request, "I am praying that God will break me out of this downward spiral." I ponder her concern, lifting it to God, and I am drawn to page 176 in The Hidden Life to deepen and widen my prayer for my friend. Betty Skinner, my now ninety year old friend, explains: "Year after [...]
Good morning... God is able to communicate with us on multiple levels every single day. After I posted yesterday's blog in the middle of the night, "The gift of the gold finch," I saw several of gold finches while on my 9:00 am walk with a friend to and from the horse farm. Walking round and round the familiar [...]
