We Are All Broken




For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.  




We're all broken.  Good news!  God is the glue to fix it



We are all broken!  

We hurt, 

we cry, 

we make bad choices. 

Don’t believe me?  

Look around.  

School shootings, 

climbing suicide rates, 

anxiety, 

and depression 

are all evidence that all of us are broken and hurting.   

It’s no one’s fault. 

We are born that way.  

That’s right, we start out broken by the sin of this world.  

But we are not doomed, forced to live in our brokenness forever.  

There is hope.  God.  

We can’t fix ourselves, 

and other people may help some, 

but to be fixed entirely, we need God.  

He is the glue that will take the fragmented pieces of your life 

and put them together.  

He will hold them together.  

Yes, 

the world will still be broken,

and bad things will always happen, but you won’t be broken, 

and the world will no longer be able to break you.  

How awesome is that!  

When we let God glue the pieces together, 

we become way more valuable than we could ever imagine.

Thank you God for Leading us

Thank you God for how you lead us. Like a shepherd leading his sheep. Sometimes through the words you spoke in the Bible, your written word. at other times, it was the wise words from friends,  coworkers,or neighbors spoken at just the right time. Still other times it was a gentle tug,   a whisper to our heart to move  in one direction or another;  intuition or a sixth sense that one   way or another was right or wrong    Yet, when I listened and obeyed   I found the way was clear, distinct and easy to follow. You never leave us to guess which way to go.                                                                                                      ...

Grow Old Gracefully

I’d like to tell you about a lady I visited yesterday.   She is ninety-five years young.  She recently moved into nursing home.  She asked one of the workers how many times she would have to walk around the outside of the building in order to walk a mile.  She said the person told her about ten.   Then she leaned in really close and whispered, “I walked around twelve just to be sure I walked a mile.”  Hahahaha! What a lady!  She loves to keep active, even in a nursing home.  As we talked, I saw no anger or bitterness in her speech or actions. There was only a love for God, a heart of compassion, and a sense of humor. She has befriended the one "prickly pear" at the home because as she said, “I have to love her, so she knows Jesus loves her too.”  Wow!!! I need to live like that!  I want to show that much compassion for those around me that need Jesus.  She loved to talk about God and what he was teaching her. ...

What’s That Smell?

To the one we are an aroma that brings death; to the other, an aroma that brings life. 2Corinthians 2:16 Last break!  The shift was almost over. Then the unthinkable happened, this man appeared out of nowhere wanting to know where the flashlights were kept.  As we were on our way to the flashlights, I noticed that this man had a very strong odor.  I thought perhaps I could get in front of him so that the smell would not be as strong.   That, however, was not to be either since; he insisted on keeping pace and walking right beside me. By the time we got to where the flashlights were; I was practically running just to keep ahead of him.  I showed him the flashlights and made a hasty exit.  If you’re like me, you shower and even put on perfume or cologne so that you will not stink.  We are concerned that the smell coming from our body is not offensive to others.  As I write this, I wonder if we are as concerned with our spiritual aroma as ...
