Coping with the shocks of life
Encouragement, Word of GodI'm reminded that those early disciples were so shocked when Jesus Christ visited them, coming through a door, after his resurrection. He told them that he would rise from the dead but somehow they had forgotten and they were so unsure of what…
Being Busy
Comfort, DiamondsI think that this is what most of the human race is good at and we women even more so. I find myself multi-tasking sometimes up to 10 jobs at a time which can make one gain a headache! However, it is my opinion that being busy can cover up all…
Megatrips
Inspiration, Motivation, Word of GodI think I may have invented a word as I can't find it in my dictionary but of course it could be in a more modern one or waiting to be assessed as a new word. Anyway, as I was praying, this word came to me as being the title of this blog so…

Inspiration, Word of GodNow there's a question! Many young children love to say this word and many older ones too can be heard to say it in a derogatory way when they are asked to do something they don't wish to do.

Encouragement, Word of GodI'm probably one of the worst listeners in the world. I butt in to conversations and I get very opinionated and want to barge in and say my bit. God has a different way of operating which I have yet to learn and that is to listen more than I…
Fingers in Pies!
Inspiration, Word of GodLittle Jack Horner (from the old nursery rhyme) managed to get a plum out from a pie which reminds me of a fantastic nursery rhyme book that has been updated and reworded to make the rhymes more relevant to children (see website of Above Rubies…
