November #jammed: Gracious. Day 326: Thankful for ice cream. “Listen to me, Jacob, Israel, whom I have called: I am he; I am the first and I am the last.” Isaiah 48:12 “Are you thinking what I’m thinking?” my husband asked my two daughters as the lake water dripped into their eyes. “ICE CREAM FOR DINNER?!?!” they screeched. A […]
November #jammed: Gracious. Day 324: Thankful for my parents. “Honor your father and your mother.” Exodus 20:12 “Guess what?” my dad said over the phone one afternoon… “You’re moving again?” I guessed. Today’s verse has been lodged in a part of my brain since before I can even remember. My Catholic school upbringing made sure that The Ten […]
November #jammed: Gracious. Day 323: Thankful for the 3 Musketeers The Lord your God is with you. Zephaniah 3:17a “I get the window seat first, and then you can have it on the way home,” my youngest daughter informed her older sister. Ready to give up our annual Florida trip on account of my husbands injury, I trudged through […]

November #jammed: Gracious.

The older I get, the […]
November #jammed: Gracious. Day 319: Thankful for hands-up. I will sing to the Lord as long as I live. I will praise my God to my last breath! Psalm 104:33 The weight of God pressed into my stomach, onto my shoulders, and consumed my whole head and heart. I’d never felt the presence of God like that, and […]
November #jammed: Gracious. Day 318: Thankful for singing kids. This is the truth: unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18:3 Watching kids worship is soul filling. As our little worship team takes the stage each month, their elementary smiles looking back at me as we try to […]
November #jammed: Gracious. Day 317: Thankful for the ability to ask. When Judas had eaten the bread, Satan entered into him. Then Jesus told him, “Hurry and do what you’re going to do.” John 13:27 How must Jesus have felt, even though He knew what Judas was about to do, when the time came for him to betray […]
