Who Has the Final Say!
I just wanted to put it in print: Who has the final say…. JEHOVAH has the final say! No matter what the doctor, the lawyer, the judge, your illness, your income, or the situation says. JEHOVAH has the final say! AMEN!
Happy Resurrection Sunday 2018!
Jesus Christ died for our sins and rose on the third day. He died, in fact, for all humanity: past, present, and future. Jesus said He would and did send us a Comforter (The Holy Spirit). Today, Resurrection Day, is our assurance that as He rose we too, who confess … Continue Reading Happy Resurrection Sunday 2018!
“What a Good Life” Continued!
January draws to close. Yes , The Good Life is the title of my latest book, but it has also been true for me during the month of January. I skipped past death (had a very close shave with a car) mended an important relationship, the new book was released, … Continue Reading “What a Good Life” Continued!

Spiritual Warfare!
I’ve been studying spiritual warfare on and off for the last few months. So much to learn, to digest! I am absorbing bits of the Spiritual Warfare Handbook by Dr. Ed Murphy. What do you know about spiritual warfare? Do share!
Taming My Tongue! — Day 30
The silent tongue seems the most damaging to me. I have no statistics to prove it, but somehow this one seems to be so far-reaching. People don’t address wrong-doing (basically sin) in the home, at school, or at church. Our ignoring the wrongdoing does not make it disappear. It just … Continue Reading Taming My Tongue! — Day 30
Taming My Tongue! — Day 26
This is the day that discouragement gets addressed. Pegues comments that discouraging someone else is the evidence that you lack faith in God’s ability. I am guilty! I have learned though the more you rehearse God’s Word, your faith increases and you look less at the circumstance and more … Continue Reading Taming My Tongue! — Day 26
Taming My Tongue! –Day 25
Prior to accusing someone, Pegues encourages that you ask a clarifying question and listen to the person’s response before you make a statement! Wow! (Wish I had been practicing this. Most likely would have saved myself several embarrassing, “I’m sorry” moments!)
Taming My Tongue! — Day 21
The self-absorbed tongue can be a trap for me, if I am not careful! I have much to say… and well if no one else wants to talk… here’s what I think. 🙂 One does tire of the person who has nothing else to talk about but him or herself. … Continue Reading Taming My Tongue! — Day 21
Taming My Tongue! — Day 18
One not need to intimidate others. God controls everything, we do not. The sooner we make peace with this fact, the easier life becomes. Pegues write in the Affirmation Box on page 79, “Because God is in control of every aspect of my life and has set my destiny, I … Continue Reading Taming My Tongue! — Day 18
Taming My Tongue! — Day 13
The “belittling tongue” hit home the hardest! Belittling is defined as saying or thinking that someone or something is unimportant or not very good. 1 I would not eagerly admit to belittling people. But, by the time the author finished with her explanations and examples, I felt “guilty” had been … Continue Reading Taming My Tongue! — Day 13
Taming My Tongue! — TESTED!
Today has been some day and it’s not even close to being done! I have had heard one bad tiding or encountered one difficult circumstance after another — from being challenged at work about my decision-making, to learning that a family member could be facing long-term financial challenges, to an acquaintance’s husband having … Continue Reading Taming My Tongue! — TESTED!
Taming My Tongue! –Day 10
Well, the eighth day’s entry was definitely a challenge for me – Day 10: the gossiping tongue- is not. I do my best not to gossip because in church circles I have seen the emotional fallout from those at the receiving end. Females usually burst into tears and males stand … Continue Reading Taming My Tongue! –Day 10
Taming My Tongue! –Day 8
The Self-Deprecating Tongue — well, here I fall very short! Or, at least I need much work! I discovered within the last six months, that I am self-deprecating! That is, one who talks negatively about him or herself! I don’t do this out loud! But in my head, oh man! … Continue Reading Taming My Tongue! –Day 8
Taming My Tongue! — Day 6
I’ve learned over the years not to have an “argumentative” tongue! I do have much to say, but I don’t have to have a comeback all the time! There are times when you can hear a comment and you really can ignore it! The scripture that does help me keep it … Continue Reading Taming My Tongue! — Day 6
Taming Your Tongue! — Day 5
Page 31 of 30 Days to Taming Your Tongue has, “Not only are we to refrain from causing division, we must also become active agents of peace, using our best efforts to reconcile parties in conflict.”
