The number of hours people spend shopping for gifts at this time of the year is staggering. Whether you shop on line, walk the mall, or drive from store to store, you still spend a great deal of time looking for that special gift for that special someone. I’ve always wondered, “What if people took […]

Come Holy Spirit Be My Guest
I am waiting for the Holy Spirit to do it’s thing. Come Holy Spirit and be my guest, let this Devotional be blessed. Sometimes the Holy Spirit can be finicky and at other times it moves like a mighty rushing wind. Right now it’s playing the shy game, keeping me guessing as to what it […]
Giving Thanks
The number seven is a Biblical number meaning “God at work” both in this world (materially) and not of this world (non-materially). Here are the seven non-material things I am thankful for: God’s Holy Sprit (guidance and comfort) God’s Love (mercy and forgiveness) God’s Word (spoken and unspoken) Loving Relationships (family and friends) My New […]
A Spiritual Moment
The other day I asked the Dental Assistant who was cleaning my teeth how her “spiritual life” was going. She paused and said, “Well, if you mean going to church, I haven’t been for a while, but my husband and I are trying something new this year. At the beginning of November, we started giving […]
Smart Mind O’Heart Meter

I had to register to vote in Dupage County before I could actually vote on Election Day. You bring two forms of Identification including […]
The Roles That We Play
It’s amazing the roles we all play in life, for example, the other day I was substituting in a Third Grade classroom. I was lucky that day because there were only 15 students instead of the usual 25-30. But, amongst those 15 students there were a variety of “individuals” each with their own identifiable characteristics. […]
The Choice is Always Mine
Had a couple of encounters with evil this past week! One affected my employment status. Promises were made that never materialized. Even though I worked hard and held up my part of the deal, the other party did not. But that other party just happened to be my boss, and so I ended up getting […]
Lost and Found
Took the Blue Line into the heart of Chicago the other day. Got off the train and went left instead of right as I was told. The person I was supposed to meet told me specifically to go right as soon as I got off the train, but it looked like more people were going […]
An Antidote to Violence
Everywhere you look these days there is violence to be seen and heard. It is truly a violent world we live in and it’s been that way since the beginning of time when Cain killed his brother Abel. The Bible is full of violence (read the Old Testament) and Jesus Himself was the victim of […]
