How to live in a broken world
She has no idea of the evil gripping and ripping into our world, no concept of the tremendous grief and anger surging. I see her smile and I hear their wails. I’m present with her as I pray for them. The enemy whispers that this joy is a betrayal. He is a liar. We’re not called to live in darkness. We’re called out of it.
A little Saturday something to help you in your walk with Jesus
Hey friend, that little home studio I threw together is already coming in quite handy! I usually have to get in warp mode when I have to do a zoom interview with a radio station, podcast, conference director, etc. Now, I just have to sit down and talk. As you know, the talking part comes easy. LOL! Be nice. God don't like ugly. But, here's
A Christmas Story – Keep Believing to Have Life
For many years now, December the 14th has brought with it a flood of emotions. I suspect it always will. The following story is told with the blessing of my dear friend, Debbie Fortenberry. I offer you this excerpt from my next book, Seizing the Good Life to be released June 13th, 2023. For though it is Debbie's story to tell, she gave her approval to
To Bless Another is to Bless God Himself
Hello friend, God's word tells us to, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you
A story to help you hang in there and not give up!
Hey friend! I'm knee deep in writing on the Gospel of John study I've mentioned to you before. My deadline is late August to turn it in to my publisher and I would love your prayer support as I write. But right now, I'm stopping to encourage YOU. Meet me in the video below and invite a friend to join us. God loves you and
Hopelessness Isn’t Your Portion
May I have a word with you, Miss Fearful? Have you never known the peace found in the refuge of God’s Presence that you can’t access it again? And you, dear Mr. Despondent, have you never known His cheer, that you should choose the company of your doldrums instead of turning your mind to His nearness? What say you, Believer All is Lost? Are you suggesting God
The Pandemic of Darkening Counsel Without Knowledge
I’ve been mostly social silent online since George Floyd’s murder and the subsequent peaceful protests and violent looting and rioting rocking our nation. My silence hasn’t come out of fear, intimidation, or because I don’t have things to say. Like everyone else, I have extremely strong opinions, but I’ve been keeping them to myself because I’m trying to hear what God is saying and I
Shellie’s Coronavirus Infomercial
Hello folks, let’s chat…If you're local, you'll remember the years I said those words to y'all on KNOE TV8. Many of you still meet me in public and tell me you remember those short videos. I appreciate that, too. Today, however, I want to talk to you about the Coronavirus because we’re all dying unless we’re not. Kidding. Breathe, y’all. I cleared my throat in
About this election? Breathe
How long has it been since you looked up? No, not from your smart phone, but that, too. When was the last time you tilted your sweet tired stressed head back and looked straight up into the endless expanse of the sky above us? If you can go outside and do that now, please do. I'll wait. If you’re driving, or you couldn't do it right
When It Seems Too Much To Ask
What would prayer do? Those words dropped in my heart around midnight several weeks ago with such power that it woke me from a deep sleep. I slept lightly the rest of the night, drifting in and out of full consciousness, but always with that phrase presenting itself front and center in my thoughts. What would prayer do? I knew it was a riff of the line,
