Series: Life is Good Scripture: Psalm 27:13 ESV In Seminary we had the great opportunity of meeting a Hebrew gentleman. The meeting had a great impact on me (which I’m sure is why my professor invited the guest). My first thought when he spoke was that it was the first time I’d met anyone like him. He wasn’t like any American I knew. He was what I’ll call ‘hot blooded’ and very animated. He made eye contact with his heart. His every move, especially hand gestures were were “g

Series: Life is Good Scripture: Matthew 7:11 Oftentimes when I am focused on finishing a writing or drawing task I try to think about what is right in front of me.

Humor/Gratitude I have been a writer since grade school and I’ve always been drawn to write stories I see. If you are a writer of stories, write a story about gratitude to a younger generation. A few years ago I wrote a story about my Mom and her Grandma on the farm during the 1930’s. The picture is from the book. The real treat is that I knew my great grandmother! I actually knew two of my great grandfathers and two of my great grandmothers!!! Deborah acrazyjourney.com

Title: Father of Lights Scripture: James 1:17 ESV The advantage of being old (and there are advantages) is that you often have the perspective of many generations. Every generation seems to specialize and be categorized in different ways. My Mother is part of the Silent Generation. I am a baby boomer. Three of my children are Gen X. My youngest is Gen Y. My five oldest grandchildren are Gen Z. My three youngest grandchildren are Generation Alpha. Why does that matter? Simply

Healing Journey: Each person who trusts in God the Father and God the Son is endowed with God the Spirit who heals. Turn to God for healing. Deborah Acrazyjourney.com
