What If?
”By faith Noah, after he was warned about what was not yet seen and motivated by godly fear, built an ark to deliver his family. By faith he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.“ Hebrews 11:7 HCSB https://bible.com/bible/72/heb.11.7.HCSB ”“Make yourself an ark of gopher wood. Make rooms in the ark, and cover it with pitch inside and outside.“ Genesis 6:14 HCSB https://bible.com/bible/72/gen.6.14.HCSB ”And Noah did everything that the Lord commanded him.“ Genesis 7:5 HCSB https://bible.com/bible/72/gen.7.5.HCSB What if Noah didn’t listen to God? What if he didn’t build the ark? What if Noah didn’t bring his family on the ark? What if Noah…

Love, Forgiveness and the Armor of God Story Blog- The End
As this fictional blog story comes to an end, I will say that it has been a healing blog for me. I hope and pray that this blog story has somehow helped a reader or two with their own healing. I started out this blog story in a desperate attempt to share my frustrations with others and to help others in this same situation know they are not alone. But God, as He often does, healed and taught me to forgive, let go, love, and enjoy the positive. For God loves us all, no matter who we are. God wants us to love Him and worship and obey Him. We…

Love, Forgiveness and the Armor of God Story Blog-May
Nova was excited to see Rose. But why did Rose need to arrive so late in the evening?Nova was still hoping she could convince Rose to sleep downstairs. After all, it was fully set up with a bed, a closet and a bathroom. And it would give Rose her privacy. Not to mention, Nova would not have to give up her office. The time finally was here. Rose arrived, and as much as Nova tried to talk her into setting up in the basement, Rose insisted on setting up in the office. Rose just barged in and started moving Novas stuff out and around to make a spot for this…

Love-Fall Review of the Word of the Year 2023
Reading over my 2022 year end blog, I’m reminded that I chose the Word “Love” for my 2023 word of the year. I started off my 2023 Facebook group, “Prayer, Reading And Travel”, by trying to encourage weekly online Bible studies about “Love”. My prayer is that encouragement, support, peace, truth, and “Love” will reach at least one person. Hopefully more, but at least one. Jesus died for every single human, that ever was, is, and ever will be. That’s means you! I want to start a Fall Bible study open to all who are interested. I would love the interaction, but that is a personal preference of yours, whether…

Love, Forgiveness and the Amor of God Story Blog, April
The visit is almost here. Less than a month away. Rose is pretty much ready, except that her husband is not going to be able to make it after all. She told her husband year’s ago, after one of the major flair ups, not to ever leave her alone with Nova again, ever! And here she was, volunteering to walk into the lions den, alone, for a whole month. Rose is older now, more life under her belt, closer to God than ever before, and knows what she’s dealing with. Not only is she bathing the whole situation in prayer, she’s planing her escape routes. A walk, a shower, going…

Love, Forgiveness and the Armor of God Story Blog-February
Another month closer. Nova was getting exited and had so many ideas for this special time alone with her niece. She had the best spot for her to stay. Her basement. The basement had a full finished bathroom and Rose and her husband could have their privacy. At least that how Nova would sell it to Rose. Nova had her computer in the guest bedroom and that was her place to spend her quiet time, anytime of the night or day. She didn’t want to move the computer into her work room. Rose didn’t need that room, she could just stay in the basement. That would do her just fine.…

Love, Forgiveness and the Armor of God- January
Story Blog, January 1, 2023 The preparation begins. Preparation for a one on one meeting. A meeting with an adversary so deep into itself that they barely notice the life sitting next to them. It’s been years since they shared this time alone, together. And it was frightening. At least frightening for one of them. As for Nova, she was excited for this meeting to take place. It couldn’t take place any quicker as far as she was concerned. She had an agenda, she had a list of to do items longer than a monthly grocery receipt. And that’s not all. She finally had control, the one thing she’d been…

Not A Victim Story Blog
Being removed from the narcissist is healthy and strength building. Although this can’t always be achieved, it is definitely something to strive for. In order for this to work some important things need to be understood and at peace with. Forgiveness, a healthy distance, a proper attitude, and most importantly, rooted in Gods love and His Word. To bring this to a personal level, the time has come for me to move to the next step. As I forward to an unnerving reality of purposely putting my self directly in the front lines of the Enemy’s camp, I do so very carefully. This will mean putting on the full armor…

The End Is Near!!
The End of 2022 that is. Years ago as I watched the Jestsons and Lost in Space I thought 2023 was way out there, in more ways than one. The past couple of years have been a rollercoaster ride to say the least. Nobody needs to be into politics to see the craziness and to feel the squeeze! It doesn’t matter who you are, where you are from, what you believe, or what your status is in this world. We all feel it one way or another. In my devotions the other day I heard something that really stuck with me. I’ve started a devotion series that start in the…

Prayers Are Incense in Heaven, How Holy Are Our Prayers
Revelation 5:8 When He took the scroll, the four living creatures and the 24 elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and gold bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of the saints. | Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB) When I heard this verse in a recent devotion, I had a WOW moment. A realization came to me that My prayers are important, and they are treasures held in heaven as sacred incense. It puts a whole new perspective on prayer. As I read through the Bible yet again, I continue to learn new things. Gods Word is surly alive! I’m not a scholar, I…
