Quit Gossiping, Start Praying!

If you want to hear something tragic about my own life, it’s this. It took me absolutely ages to wake up and realize what in my pride I didn’t think of as gossip and slander was exactly that. In my arrogance, and in my ignorance concerning what gossip and slander really are, I did an altogether rock solid job for an incredibly long time calling myself a Jesus follower but treating people in my heart and with my mouth – particularly behind their backs – in anything but a Jesus-honoring way. Sin, ...

What God Wants Most

Sometimes I feel bad and ashamed that unlike lots of other people I have so few Bible verses memorized, that my memory has declined as I age and I can’t even remember some I did memorize, that I don’t look like a perfect Christian on the outside as some seem to do though I call myself a Jewish follower of Christ anyway, that my once strong attention span has drastically diminished and usually I can’t focus on the Bible for more than minutes at a time, that I fall into sin sometimes even when I d...

Lara’s Unbelievable Update – NEED HELP!

      I am so thrilled to share with you that after 4.5 years of being on the road for Jesus with my special needs ministry dogs the Lord has made clear that I am to remain on the road though to a smaller focused set group of assigned places AND to enter into the next chapter of my life and ministry with a shocking and amazingly wonderful and challenging next assignment!

     The next chapter? I will be greatly expanding the type of writing I do for the Lord to include devotionals-journals AND s...

Please Do Not Resist God!

If you are clear God is calling you to do something, and you are resisting Him, please stop. Humble yourself, submit yourself to the Lord, and lovingly, faithfully, devotedly follow Him.

Turn from your sins, believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and in His death and resurrection, turn to God and His ways, receive God’s forgiveness and the promise of forever life with Him and the indwelling of His Holy Spirit. Spend time in His presence, praise Him, worship Him, sing to Him, be transformed by Him, pray...

My Mom Forgot the Jelly

My beloved senior Mom did something so beautiful and loving one day. In my 50s, believe it or not, for the first time in my life, I have fallen in love with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. So one day when I was blessed to be visiting with my Mom whom I don’t get to see for long stretches of time due to my life on the road for Jesus, she went into the kitchen, made me two sandwiches, and blessedly brought them to me. Only problem was when I started on the first sandwich, I noticed something w...

A Lifestyle of Thanksgiving!

“I am so thankful I don’t even know what to do,” I thought as I sat perched on my hotel room bed in the quiet of the early fall morning. Oh, such an exceedingly far cry from how I used to live. Miserable. Unthankful. Granted I have had seemingly relentless life’s challenges of one variety or another, but never is there an excuse to not be thankful to God Himself and for His countless blessings.

Know what came to mind just before I got out of my comfy position on the bed and laid aside my mug of ...

Do You Long for This?

Do you long for the Lord and for an ever-deepening personal and intimate forever relationship with Him and to love and serve Him with every ounce of your heart more than you long for anything or anyone else in life? Oh, may this be so!

I used to see believing in the Lord Jesus Christ as little more than religion, rules, and regulations and living a boring, hard life ever striving to live up to a whole lot of obligations all the while being deprived of the life I really wanted. Ugh.

Today, I am p...

Thank you Lord for this beautiful blessing…..!
