I have a little secret about my prayer life that I’ve never shared before.
Namely, I love to be playful with God.
I suspect He hears a lot of prayers that sound the same.
If you need a good laugh, watch this… 😂
I was recently diagnosed with ADD and ADHD, to which my friends say, “That explains a lot!”
I’m constantly misplacing my keys, losing my sunglasses atop my head, and can’t find my phone because it’s in my back pocket.
All of this creates silliness and laughs, and it’s hard to take oneself too seriously.
Have You Ever Wondered How God Wants to Use You?
There’s a story told of a grandfather who was walking through his yard when he heard his granddaughter repeating the alphabet in a tone of voice that sounded like a prayer. He gently approached his granddaughter and asked, “Whatcha doing?”
The little girl looked up and innocently said, “I’m praying, but I can’t think of exactly the right words, so I’m just saying all the letters, and God will put them together for me, because He knows what I’m thinking.”

James Bible Study by Margaret Feinberg
Hey friends!
I’ve been teaching the Bible for more than 25 years, and if there’s one book that has taught me that what I do matters, it’s the book of James. I suspect you’ve felt that way, too.
James calls us to examine the gaps between what we believe and how we’re living. A call to action, the letter of James is clear: what you do matters!

The secret my husband kept from me… can’t believe I didn’t notice sooner 😆
Leif and I just celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary. In full disclosure, Leif was sick, but we still managed to slip away (even if it included masks).
Think about this: I’ve lived with the same man for t-w-e-n-t-y years.
Yet I just learned of something he’s been doing for years and NEVER told me.
As a writer, I spend a lot of time in a room all by myself. Honestly, it gets lonely. I definitely have introverted tendencies, but I LOVE people.

I sit alone, thinking of you, praying for you, longing to connect with you. . . .
