Simple Truths Blog
We stood outside. Taking pictures with our cell phones before we went in to eat at the busy restaurant. Out of the corner of our eyes, we saw him. Long, scruffy looking beard. Hat on and carrying some plastic bags. Talking to random people in the parking lot. We assumed he just wanted money. We …

Sometimes, I regress. There are days that I find myself crawling back to my little comfort zone. The one that wants to just hide out from the rest of the world. The one that held me captive for many years. The place where I am safe from rejection. Safe from criticism. Safe from …

I love music. Always have. From my days as a little kid playing the piano..to my days of my youth when I sang and played the flute. I just love music. It is an escape of sorts. A refuge. A healing balm even. I am so thankful that God chooses to speak to us through …

Recently, someone asked me a question. HOW DO YOU TELL SOMEONE ABOUT JESUS? Someone who doesn't want to hear about HIM..someone who has chosen to reject HIM.. My answer: You live it.

It has been three weeks since my last post!! That's not to say that I haven't had anything to share. No, quite the opposite actually. The funny thing is that I actually began writing one to share earlier this week...but it isn't what was put on my heart to share today. Do you like to …

The other morning I was telling my husband about something that happened earlier that week. He immediately quoted John 10:27 to me. That is where this post began... 🙂 John 10:27 (NIV) ~ My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. Our oldest daughter barrel races …
