The Detox – Put ON so you can Put OFF

The Detox Have you heard of the Put On – Put Off principle? I am doing a (physical) detox and noticed how closely the plan/methodology of the detox is to the spiritual principle. The plan lasts 28 days and increasingly adds good things to… Continue Reading “The Detox – Put ON so you can Put OFF”

Put on Simplicity – Body and Soul Healthy Lifestyle

2Corinthians 11:3 But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.   Simplicity, in my experience, is usually found in Single Servings – One at… Continue Reading “Put on Simplicity – Body and Soul Healthy Lifestyle”

The Recipes of Victory

When does the end begin when the end is really the beginning? That’s where we are in Esther’s story.  Haman (her enemy) thinks the end of the Jewish nation is about to occur.  Esther, however, has run to God to pray for God’s direction. … Continue Reading “The Recipes of Victory”

Sticks, Stones, and Words

Sticks and Stones will break my bones, and Words can wound my soul.   Not quite how we heard it growing up, is it?  I’ve been hurt physically and emotionally, and have to admit the most searing have been the words…  Words sometimes said… Continue Reading “Sticks, Stones, and Words”

What Do You See?

I love to look at the world like a toddler.  As a matter of fact, rather than being a “young-at-heart” senior, my incessant detailed examination of my world has caused some to liken me to a “very mature toddler!” Have you experienced a toddler’s… Continue Reading “What Do You See?”

Determine NOT TO
