"Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life."
Proverbs 4:23
That pretty much sums up Genesis 1 through Revelation 22. It pretty much sums up our life journey as believers. And more specifically, it pretty much sums up this February. My husband and I have commented several times over how many souls have died this month. As we have talked to friends, family members, and […]
When have you experienced the kiss of the King? As I sat down to write this post, that question was in my mind. So, I first tried to answer it myself before I asked it of you… Was it as a sick year-old baby in the hospital when I needed comfort? Was it as a […]
It is difficult to learn anything new if you are not paying attention. It is even more difficult to learn the ways of the Kingdom if you are paying attention…to the wrong things. One of the titles others bestowed on Jesus in his day was “Teacher.” When I consider His humanity, it is this aspect […]
Today I am 55 years young! This is an especially meaningful birthday that I have dubbed my “Double Portion of Grace” year. The number five in the Bible means grace. My name, Nancy, means grace. I am alive by God’s grace. Earlier this week, I had the privilege of joining a group of nearly 50 […]
Sometimes a northern wellspring needs to find true grit…uh, grits. My husband and I just returned last weekend from a 16-day cross-country trip to visit our three sets of married kids, two little grandchildren, celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary, and salute a physical toast to the end of a 15-month journey through breast cancer, reconstruction, […]
Three weeks ago my blog “When the Lion Roars” ended with this: The Lion knows how to put on the finishing touches. He already ROARED! I’ve been living in the echoes all year long. Gracefully Free waiting for Faithful & True Well. I’m here to tell you, Faithful & True showed up in […]
I have a beef with the Thief. He’s still prowling around the perimeter thinking he’s going to have the last say about this long cancer and reconstruction journey, but I have news for him…the Lion has already ROARED! The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come so they can have […]
Tonight, I want to sing but I am tired. I’ve missed singing, but this evening all I want is a lullaby sung over me. This Sunday evening puts to rest an intense week. It was full of physical activity and emotional draw in my workplace, as well as precious too-little time with family who lives […]
I have the funniest greeting card with a Manna Cabana cartoon on the front. The daily specials are listed as 1) Manna, 2) Manna, 3) Manna and 4) Manna. Take your pick from today’s options. Manna it is! Though I laugh every time I come across that picture when digging through my card selection, it’s […]
It has been extremely difficult to get the flow going these past two weeks as I’ve attempted to write. Thus, there was no post a week ago and this is now Monday morning. All I could do was wait. Two weeks ago I returned to work after these past ten months of breast cancer treatment. […]
