I have a tendency to make lists. I enjoy them very much and it provides great enthusiasm to be able to cross things off and feel that sense of completion. Currently, I am working on my list of improvements around the house. We just finished putting a new floor in…

So, we’re back from vacation and I finally get to read my “real” Bible. I decided we had so little room for a week’s vacation that I would just use my Bible app on my phone. It obviously worked fine and I was able to cross-reference a few verses to…

I was having a conversation with my daughter the other day about ways to control your anger. For, you see, she has a tendency to react without thinking. This sort of behavior has gotten her in trouble in the past. As we were talking I suggested that when she gets super…

Psalm 139 from The Message starts like this: “God, investigate my life; get all the facts firsthand. I’m an open book to You; even from a distance You know what I’m thinking.” As I’m reading this I am looking out of a plane window at the houses below. The houses…

The Petrified Forest and Painted Desert National Park is a sight to see. It is a 28 mile drive. If you drive this road, it would take you all of 40 minutes. Should you decide to stop at every stop and walk every trail, it would take you 5 hours….

I’m reading a book called Switch by Chip & Dan Heath. In the book it talks about if you have too many choices in life you can become paralyzed. When given a smaller amount of choices, you are more able to quickly make a decision. You are able to focus….

I’ve had the type of week where I have gone through the motions. This has not been my deliberate choice. I have gone through the motions just to survive. There have been various tasks to complete, goals to accomplish, promises to keep and jobs to be done. There were people counting…

Hi. I’m Susan. I’m a diabetic. There, I said it…I’m flawed! I really hate that! I hate that I’m flawed. For some reason, unknown to the best of researchers, my body decided one day to attack itself so that it could no longer function properly. I was going about my…

Reading books. Playing on the computer. Organizing more when it’s really already good enough. Picking up the house. Watching a movie. Doing laundry. Scrapbooking. Ironing. Sitting. Playing games.

Diligently. This word struck me funny today during my devotions, so I took a moment to look up Scripture on being diligent. The one I liked the best was Hebrews 4:11 (NASB), but let’s also include verses 9-10: “So there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. For…
