Have you ever had to eat your words? I’m sure I have, but at the moment, nothing comes to mind. Perhaps, even if I could, I wouldn’t share as “eating your words” is considered quite distasteful. Often, the words we have to eat are bitter. I believe the words we say never disappear. They linger…

Obvious Mercy
A Conversation with God 8/25/16 Me: Well God, I woke up this morning to three big piles and a puddle. Had to steam mop the floors-of which- I finished the living room, kitchen, dining room, and hallway-ALL- before 7:30 this morning! God: Some days are definitely better than others, but… Me: Yeah, and some nights are…
Outside Looking In
A Conversation with God 8/16/16 Me: God, I’ve been thinking about those who’ve shunned me. Sometimes I feel all alone. I feel their world is going on without me, and I’m on the outside looking in. I have this visual of a dirtied hungry child, hands and nose pressed to a store’s window, watching shoppers…
Celebrate Life with Kindness
A Conversation with God 8/9/2016 Me: Lord, the cicadas sure have been loud this year. God: Yes they have…and do you know why? Me: No, Lord. Why? God: Well, you see, in 1999, a brood of cicadas hatched and burrowed beneath the ground to feast upon root tissue. It took 17 years but finally they…
Upon Dragonfly Wings
A Conversation with God 8/6/2016 Me: Good morning, Lord. God: Good morning, Lisa. Did you sleep well? Me: Yes, Lord…thank you for watching me through the night. God: I’ll never leave you. For just as I told Moses and my children many years ago, “I am the eternal God and I will be your refuge and…
…With us Among the Thorns
The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart… And none of them that trust in him shall be desolate. Psalms 34:18,22 (Cee’s Flower of the Day Challenge)
Walking Through Psalms: Focus
When my glasses become smudged, I’m forced to read words through a haze. Many times I’ve taken them off my nose and used my shirt to wipe away the haze; however, it only creates a greater murkiness in which to navigate the letters upon the page. This is frustrating. Why doesn’t the shirt work? Shirts are…
…Not on my Deathbed…
Let my sentence come forth from thy presence… (KJV) Only you can say that I am innocent, because only your eyes can see the truth. (CEV) Psalms 17:2 Death is right around the corner…maybe not the next corner but it’s surely waiting behind one of them. Last week, I had a “scare.” You know the…
Look to the Birds
(A poem for all generations) “Most of the situations that entangle your mind are not today’s concerns; you have borrowed them from tomorrow.” __ Sarah Young Preserve me, oh God: for in thee do I put my trust. (Psalms 16:1) Look To The Birds Look to the birds, the fowls of the air. No needs have…
We are the Apple of His Eye
O You who save those who trust in You… Keep me as the apple of Your eye; Hide me under the shadow of Your wings… Apples are pretty darn important in our house. I like to eat them with shaker of salt in hand and Corinne loves them cooked in a pie. (I’ve found…
