Eye Judgement . . .

Cheryl - November 4, 2025

There are right ways and wrong ways of judging someone, and before you get all righteous on me, yes, I clearly know that God is our only judge.  However, is that 100% accurate? For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; it is He who will save […]

THEY . . .

Cheryl - October 1, 2025

If I were a betting woman, (I’m not) I could easily bet that at some point in everyone’s life, they’ve had someone use the pronoun “they” to describe a situation where irrational blame is involved.  I could also easily bet that I would win that wager (again, if I were a betting woman). However, I […]

Doing the Right Thing . . .

Cheryl - August 28, 2025

There are so many times when doing the right thing is a choice, instead of the automatic that it should be.  As someone who absolutely loves the convenience of grocery pickups, I will admit that I haven’t always “automatically” did the right thing, especially when someone else’s groceries got mixed in with mine.  After all, […]

All That Glitters . . .

Cheryl - August 6, 2025

During the construction of mine and my husband’s new home, we were finally at the point where we needed to pick out our cabinets and countertops for our kitchen, among other things, such as trim and lighting.  There was a large home improvement store within thirty minutes of our home that we often frequented, but […]

Complaining 101 . . .

Cheryl - July 16, 2025

What justifies complaining? Are we aware of how often we do it? Do we make exceptions to what actually is considered to be complaining? Can telling someone about how rude the clerk was to you in the check-out line be a form of grumbling? I guess that depends on how we form our words into […]

Look Up . . .

Cheryl - July 3, 2025

Having someone that you love, die, creates a wave of emotions that you can sometimes find difficult to control. There is a helplessness that comes from loss, and sometimes because of that helplessness, our emotions take over where calm is unable to prevail. Pain is an individual thing, and just as no two snowflakes are […]

Morse Code in the Bathroom

Cheryl - June 1, 2025

I think most people would agree, that throughout life, we all can develop an attachment or two.  Babies get attached to pacifiers and bottles.  Toddlers get attached to their favorite stuffed animal, blanket or parent.  Teenagers become attached to clothes, friends and drama.  Adults get attached to money, cars. . . and the list goes on.   […]

Hey Buddy, Can You Spare a Taco . . .

Cheryl - May 1, 2025

Navigating the world as a Christian can be difficult, especially when there are people who want to take advantage of your faith.  Genuine Christians are fairly easy to spot, which can make them an easy target for anyone hoping to make a quick buck.  Scripture is pretty clear on helping those in need, but what […]

Satan’s Favorite Recipe (Stirring the Pot)

Cheryl - April 26, 2025

Have you ever noticed that when something irks you, satan will find a way to exemplify it? After all, he has nothing better to do than to try and wreak havoc in your life.  For me, it seems to be whenever I am in a hurry to get somewhere, that satan shows up and I […]

The Size of Courage . . .

Cheryl - March 26, 2025

It was like any normal day, as I sat at work preparing things that I needed to do, when I saw my boss’s car pulling up next to the building.  I could hear him unlocking and then locking the main door as he entered the office.  It was for safety reasons that we kept the […]

When it Rains . . .

Cheryl - March 13, 2025

I am sure you have heard the old expression, “when it rains it pours.” Well, I for one would buy stock in that expression, considering the last several weeks of my life. Drip, drip, drip, the raindrops started. First, my car (just shy of three years old) began making a ticking sound whenever I accelerated.  […]

Either You’re a Christian or You’re Not . . .

Cheryl - February 26, 2025

Have you ever been around someone whose negativity has affected you so gravely that you find yourself mimicking their behavior? Do thoughts of disgust and judgement wash over you?     There are times while sitting at my nephew’s sporting events, that I have found myself caught up in the energy around me. When the negative […]
