It is the ninth of November. A day after what is now termed as a most ‘historic night in U.S. history’. Our new President-Elect Donald Trump is set to become sworn in as the 45th President of the United States. In the words of Charles Dickens, “It was the best of times, it was the […]
Vineyard Days – Ruby Vintage
For the director of music. Of David. A psalm. For the Director of our Ruby song. Of Wayne & Nancy. A song of praise. We waited patiently for the LORD; He turned to us and heard our cry. He lifted us out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; He set our […]
Ishshah’s Story – A Dream in the Night
Ishshah’s Story will celebrate its 2nd birthday in just a few weeks. Reaching back to the Her Journey archives, the following post is the first one I wrote for our fledgling blog two years ago. Given recent messages the Lord has released about spiritual abuse and the enemy’s operation through hidden darkness, this archives re-post is […]
Vineyard Days – Two Kinds of Flames, Part 2
One year ago I delivered the message that Holy Spirit shared with me during one of the worst firestorm seasons to ever hit the U.S. state in which I live. That message was recorded in Two Kinds of Flames, Part 1. These two posts go hand-in-hand. Before you read any further in Part 2, I encourage […]
Ishshah’s Story – Nine
For a long while Nine has been in my heart and mind to write. Contemplating after the Fourth of July holiday what I was going to prepare for my July contribution to Ishshah’s Story, I was in our office one workday with a chunk of white space on my calendar. Just like that I knew […]
Vineyard Days – Behind Your Veil
You are beautiful, my darling, beautiful beyond words. Your eyes are like doves behind your veil. Your hair falls in waves, like a flock of goats winding down the slopes of Gilead. 2 Your teeth are as white as sheep, recently shorn and freshly washed. Your smile is flawless, each tooth matched with its twin. […]
Ishshah’s Story – An Audience of One
While penning June’s team member contribution to Ishshah’s Story, I recalled in heart and mind that our finest work is achieved when we concentrate on offering it to an audience of One. What He does with it once it’s released from one’s heart, head, hand or voice is what makes each of us a student […]
Vineyard Days – Selah VIII
I never cease to be quietly delighted at the Lord’s attention to timing and detail. It has been eight months since Selah VII was penned. I didn’t know then that Selah VIII would come right on time eight months later. Eight is the biblical number of ‘new beginnings’. How appropriate as we prepare to journey […]
Vineyard Days – Gaze on the King
“Go forth, O daughters of Zion, and gaze on King Solomon with the crown with which his mother has crowned him on the day of his wedding, and on the day of his gladness of heart.” Song of Songs 3:11 NASB Who could ever know in just a single gaze All the glory of Your […]
Ishshah’s Story – Encouraging the Encourager
May’s team member contribution to Ishshah’s Story speaks to a holy conundrum experienced by those who live daily in the role of a God-called encourager. Encouragement is not a trait mutually exclusive to women; many men are called to expend their days as an encourager of others too. As I prepared to write this particular […]
