How does he know? I ask that question every time I attempt (notice the word attempt) to do my Insanity video. For those of you who might not know what Insanity is, it’s a DVD exercise series that is really INSANE. You see, I’m 52 now and have vowed to stay in shape. My mother … [Read more…]

In-operative Words, Non-Working Hands
“In-operative words, non-working wands” (Matthew 12:36 TAB) “A man’s heart determines his speech” (Jesus…Matthew 12:34 TLB) “It’s not working Nana!” “Maybe it needs new batteries”…Words spoken by our two year old grandson. Such words of wisdom: recognition of a problem and a solution at the same time. Oh that we could be so quick to … [Read more…]
Have You Heard?
The Gift is just a month away! I am so excited about this day of ministry to Single Moms. It’s one of my favorite days of the year! Actually the whole idea for The Gift came several years ago after going on a mission trip with a Single Mom. I was “wrecked” after getting to … [Read more…]

When our daughter was a little girl, she would stand on the shore and wait for wave of seawater to wash over her feet and then quickly retrieve back out to sea. This was her idea of playing in the ocean. Anything over her toes was too deep and too terrifying. One day, her dad … [Read more…]

This particular trip was a vision trip to explore ministry opportunities for Long Hollow. We were visiting all of the … [Read more…]
Time Tithe
Own It! Just got my letter from Pastor David asking for a financial push to finish the year and complete the works that Long Hollow has started this year. It’s amazing to me what can be done for God when we tithe. While I appreciate the fact that we are called to tithe financially, it … [Read more…]
From Another Place
“from another place…” Esther 4:14 How often are we convinced that we are irreplaceable? If we don’t do it, no one will? We convince ourselves: “If it’s gonna be done right, I’ll have to do it!” Esther was chosen to rise up as Queen during a dark period in Israel’s history. She was a young, … [Read more…]
Disqualified
Disqualified: A word I have heard over and over the last several months that just has me riled up! A word that the enemy is using to discourage and defeat believers. Be honest with yourself. Can you readily complete this sentence? -I feel disqualified to speak up as a believer because I ______? Or maybe … [Read more…]
Believing is Seeing
“O, Lord, open his eyes so that he may see.” 2 Kings 6:17 Discouragement is a normal emotion when we’ve experienced some sort of loss, or when we are waiting on God to do something in our lives. It may be that we are waiting on God to find our mate, begin a family, provide … [Read more…]
