Faulty thinking has you blinking,On the verge of wrong decision.Can’t decide this way or that way,‘Cause you’re lacking truth and wisdom. Pleasing flesh is most what matters.Life is filled with empty chatters.Pride in self, so self you flatter.Not live for God, for self, rather. Anger fills your heart with temper,Frustrated with all that matters.Peace of … Continue reading Faulty Thinking

Not Be Silent
This song, based off Psalm 30, updated to our relationship with Jesus Christ, God the Son, is a psalm of thanksgiving and praise for all that God has done for us in providing salvation for us from sin through the death of Jesus Christ on the cross, and through his resurrection. He delivered us from … Continue reading Not Be Silent
No Less
March 19, 2012 I was talking to the Lord about stuff going on in my life. I had just written out my devotions from the book of Amos, chapters 1-2. I was thinking about how Amos was just a shepherd when God called him to be a prophet and to give out his messages. I … Continue reading No Less
Never Will I Leave You
On May 11, 2011, I had this horrible headache (from an incoming or outgoing storm) all afternoon. I was sitting on the sofa crying and praying for Jesus (in His name) to heal me. Then He put this song, "Never Will I Leave You," into my heart to write as His message to me to … Continue reading Never Will I Leave You
Nails Were Pounded
On June 4, 2011, one of my granddaughters was at our house, and she was about to get her fingernails painted. While this was happening, my husband was watching the neighbors across the street from us get a new roof put on their house, and so there were lots of nails being discussed. Granddaughter Lizzie … Continue reading Nails Were Pounded
Myopic
If these spiritual qualities of goodness, knowledge, self-control, steadfastness, godliness, brotherly affection and love we possess, by the Spirit, and if they are increasing in measure in our lives, they will keep us from being ineffective or unfruitful in all practical knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ – in all intimacy of relationship, and in … Continue reading Myopic
My Witnesses
“…the Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers” (Revelation 17:14). I know the Lord gave me the words and music for this song, so I first wanted to look at the phrase “will be called” in the Bible … Continue reading My Witnesses
My Sheep
When Jesus spoke of his sheep, he was speaking of his true followers. They hear the voice of the Lord, they listen attentively to his words, they obey what he says, and they follow him wherever he leads them. They find forgiveness and salvation. This is the mark of a true disciple of Jesus Christ. … Continue reading My Sheep
My Heart’s Desire
Paul said his heart’s desire, and his prayer to God for the Israelites (his own people), was that they may be saved. I concur with him, in that is my desire, as well, for my family members, friends, neighbors and the people of this world to come to know Christ Jesus as Lord and as … Continue reading My Heart’s Desire
My Cry for Mercy
There are times in all of our lives when we feel particularly vulnerable, weak, tired, sad, confused, and, perhaps, hurt and rejected and/or all alone. It is especially during these times when we need to call upon our Lord to save us from ourselves, and to give to us his encouragement, counsel, direction, strength and … Continue reading My Cry for Mercy
