Nighty-night, Kitty!

Billie was never one to get close to people.

I have SEVERAL graphics made by her and Lori but neither come around anymore. I see Lori on FB once in awhile.

I should call Meg again to see how she is doing. When I called before, I didn’t talk to her but her son called me and told me she had trouble sitting at the computer.

Guess I should try calling Trisham again.

[luvie]

No, Billie was always very mysterious, but she did beautiful work and she taught all of us a lot about html. I see Lori in FB, or do when she’s not roaming around the country. LOL!

I hope both Meg and Trisham are ok.

Good night Kitty!

Turning off “Auto-Correct” will still alert you to spelling errors, but won’t automatically substitute a different word. :-) Good Luck! :-)

Lies with Truth

Bible in a Year:

• Job 41–42
• Acts 16:22–40

Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.

Proverbs 30:5

I set my Bible on the podium and stared at the eager faces waiting for me to begin the message. I’d prayed and prepared. Why couldn’t I speak?

You’re worthless. No one will ever listen to you, especially if they know your past. And God would never use you. Seared into my heart and mind, these words spoken in various ways over my life ignited a decade-long war against the lies I so easily believed. Though I knew the words weren’t true, I couldn’t seem to escape my insecurities and fears. So I opened my Bible.

Turning to Proverbs 30:5, I inhaled and exhaled slowly before reading out loud. “Every word of God is flawless,” I read, “he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.” I closed my eyes as peace overwhelmed me, and I began to share my testimony with the crowd.

Many of us have experienced the paralyzing power of negative words or opinions others have of us. However, God’s words are “flawless,” perfect and absolutely sound. When we’re tempted to believe spirit-crushing ideas about our value or our purpose as God’s children, God’s enduring and infallible truth protects our minds and our hearts. We can echo the psalmist who wrote: “I remember, Lord, your ancient laws, and I find comfort in them” (Psalm 119:52).

Let’s combat lies we’ve accepted about God, ourselves, and others by replacing negative speak with Scripture.

Reflect & Pray

What lies have you believed? What verses in the Bible have helped you see God, yourself, and others through the truth of Scripture?

Loving Father, please help me to prayerfully study Scripture as You help me view life through the lens of Your truth.

I need it. I spend more time correcting spellcheck than I do typing. LOL

[left that other site]

I understand! I write a daily devotional on FR (The J-Thread) and often I think (and pray) faster than I can type. Along with my aging eyesight, I have to proof read everything 3-4 times before posting, and sometimes there are STILL errors that I missed.

Of course, we have our Stalwart Squad of FR Grammar & Spelling Nazis to keep me in line!

[luvie]

Happy Caturday!

[luvie]

Oh, yeah, the grammar/spelling nazis do exist. LOL!

Speaking of errors...I just forgot the ping list on my Caturday post. *mega-sigh*
