Please Help Me Decide
I have a dilemma and I need your help! I love Jesus but I also love horror. The dilemma: Should I create a new blog for my horror writings or should I continue to compile the two genres within Redhead Reflections? My faith is very important to me. I enjoy writing daily devotions of inspiration….
Private Letters of Mother Teresa
I picked the above up from church yesterday. It’s a simple sticker that says, “Beyond Your Selfie.” As I looked at it I thought…this should be everyone’s life motto. Take a moment and consider living in such a world. It would almost be heaven on earth. Mother Teresa is one who definitely lived beyond her “selfie.”…
Co-Creators
Psalms 13:5 But I have trusted in thy mercy, my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. Trust and rejoice…David’s choice of words for today. Trust and rejoice are active words. They insinuate we not sit idly by as our day takes form, but rather to become co-creators of our day. Trust and rejoice, invites us…
Who’s Staring Back?
The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Psalms 12:6 In ancient times silver was purified in a hot furnace.

More Than a Feeling
If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do? Psalms 11:3 True faith is more than a feeling. Our feelings change but the foundation of our faith never changes. That’s not to say we can’t change our opinions, of course we can. I once believed drinking alcohol in any fashion was sin, but I no longer hold…
When Life Sucks, Faith Doesn’t Come Easy
I sat down to my computer, wanting to write a more upbeat blog than the last; as the last was kind of depressing. So, I opened my Bible to Psalms chapter 10, since it’s the next chapter in our series entitled, “Walk Through Psalms.” As I read, I began to realize chapter 10 was a…
God Has Something to Say to the Hurting
(Psalms 9/Paraphrased as if from God’s point of view) This morning, as I read Psalms chapter 9, a message began to form in my mind. A message, I believe, to be from God. A message, He wants all the hurting to hear. And so as I pondered over the verses I began to read it as…
He Is Risen!
I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart; I will tell of all Your marvelous works. I will be glad and rejoice in You; I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High. Psalms 9:1-2 Forever To Thee Oh Lord, my God, Oh bless this day! When in death you arose triumphant…away!…
