God’s Not Dead!

Our first week home from vacation, we hit the ground running. It seems like there’s always a re-entry period after being gone for more than a week—routines to re-establish, laundry to catch up on, and this time of year, taxes to deal with. And don’t forget work. No more lazing around on the beach or unplanned days. Oh, but what …

A Dripping Faucet

Have you ever been in the company of a complainer? You know the type, someone who constantly focuses on the negative. I’m afraid, there are days I’m one—especially when stuck behind a slow driver (and we get a lot of them on our one-lane roads.) But God is so gracious—He gives us a glimpse of what we might be like …

Changes in Latitudes

Tonight, we’ll be sleeping in our own bed, and, as usual, God’s timing is perfect. Knowing yesterday would be our last “tourist” day, we had a plan—have breakfast at Baja Peppers in the Mar de Cortez hotel (touted as the best, cheap breakfast in town) and then walk out to the ocean and see if we could get to Lover’s …

The Long, Dusty Road to Blessing

In my last post, I indicated there was more to share about our Sunday trip to San Jose del Cabo—and there is—but every day brings with it new experiences that lessen the impact of the one before. Sunday was finding ourselves unexpectedly in the midst of the Ironman competition as we slow-crawled down the highway toward church. We saw some …

What Wonders Await

Cabo Continued: Friday night, Chris and I went on a sunset dinner cruise on the Rissalena—a catamaran that holds about twenty passengers. It left the marina in Cabo San Lucas and putted down to the southern-most tip of Mexico’s Baja California (on the Sea of Cortez side) and into the Pacific Ocean for a short time. The key descriptor here is …

Rebooting

If you at all follow my blog on a regular basis, you might have noticed that I didn’t post on Tuesday, as is my habit. Nor did I make up for it by posting on Wednesday! For the next ten days, things will be a little…irregular. My sweet husband and I left very early yesterday morning (just after 4:00) to …

Stop and See God’s Splendor!

My ladies Bible study group just started last week in the book of Romans. Romans 1:19-20 says They [sinful, wicked people] know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them. For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal …

Aliens in This World

I’m always shocked when slapped with the reality that people are inherently evil. Last week, I was driving through the comparatively sleepy town of Pine Grove and a truck shot out of a side street without stopping and raced across two lanes to pull into the gas station, nearly hitting a vehicle coming from the other direction. When the driver …

Mary-dom Doomed

A few years ago, I posted a blog titled Martha or Mary? In it, I wrote about my struggle to be a Mary in a Martha world. And just like a Martha, I had definite steps I could take to reach that coveted Mary status. I know the Spirit’s working to transform me, but that is definitely an area that …

When You Come to a Fork in the Road…Take It

Although my husband has been a chiropractor for over 27 years, and in the same office complex for the past 16, we’re having an Open House this Thursday to launch the new face of Amador Chiropractic. It may seem strange to have such an event when nothing has drastically changed. And yet at the same time, everything’s changed. A first …
