The Intruder
Read now

“WOW! You are one brave person. Just reading this scared me. God bless kitties!”...Gloria

“Alex to the rescue!! Good going Alex! Alex saved the day, I mean night!!!I like stories like that!”...Jackie

“Great story; however your title scared me to death! Glad to hear it was only an opossum. I’d say Alex deserves a case of tuna.”...Donna C.

“Yeah God for Alex! If she had not awakened you, there might have been 5 critters in your bed keeping you warm. Gosh what an adventure.”...Jean

“Whew - thank the good Lord it wasn't anything more than that! You gave me such a scare when I read the subject line  as ‘I’ve been there, done that - had the T-shirt’ for break-in at my home. I can just see all this though, and YES I definitely feel Alex should get several good cans of tuna for being such a great heroine. Thank God for our Pets!!!”...Donna S. 

“WOW! I could imagine every minute of your rather terrifying adventure. It sent chills up my spine. Sounds like your instincts are right on the money, and gave me ideas for if I’m in a similar situation. Hope Alex is getting that tuna fish today! (Gotta get something that will warn me too.)”...Jacque

“I like your story. You should submit it to a cat lovers book or something.”...Tonya

"I love this! Sounds like something that could happen to me. Not only does this provide a day to day real life learning situation, it relates well to an eternal lesson...praise God that He does give us "do over" chances"...Freddie Sue

“I can totally relate. I did a similar kind of thing. Thankfully, there were no repercussions.” ...Colleen

“How well I can relate to this! No doubt we all have things we’d like to do over. Sometimes its just plain embarrassing, but other times people get hurt.”...Helen

“My cousin accidentally sent an email to me one that was intended for her friend with the same first name. She had totally vented her anger at her mother (my aunt). She was mortified when she found out what she had done. I am sure she wanted a do over. I am going to send her a link to read it.”...Pamela S.

“I, too, can relate. I have at least one “do over” situation on a daily basis. Most are victimless, but some of my “do overs” have been monumental. I thank God for His Sea of Forgetfulness. Thanks for sharing this.”...Leticia

“Oh, if I had a dime for every “do over.” I cringed in all the right places.”...Donna A.

A Photo Finish
Read Now

“It will be interesting when we get to heaven and we can retrace every step completely ordained by God...especially the ones that really looked off track.”...Lissa

“How true! The footsteps (even painful ones!) are ordered by the Lord. Thanks!”...Sheri

“I love stories like this! Isn’t it reassuring to see God work some days...and then on the days we’re not aware of Him, we can think back to the days we saw Him and know, He’s there just like always, working behind the scenes. Thanks for share this!”...Violet

“A great article. I have said over and over that "God has given me the right people at the right time". This was true even in childhood. It's amazing how He works in our life! I enjoyed the article very much. A good message and reminder that God works in everything we do.”...Penelope

“He knows our whispers before they leave our lips! I believe He entreats us to utter them so that we have memories (like monuments) of His faithfulness! I enjoyed your story!”...Donna A.

Become What You Believe
Read now

“I recently read the verse you quoted about faith being substance and have been praying to understand it. I interpret substance as something that has quantifiable and measurable properties. Therefore, in that light, faith materializes our hopes. I enjoyed finding your article speaking about the verse because it is a verse so widely quoted but not so well understood. God is faithful to continually show us our faith through those substances it manifests in our lives”...Vicki

When Dreams Come True

“I just try to live IN the hope of the promise - it can be a beautiful place when Jesus is your company!”...Donna A.

“Patience has never been a virtue of mine...but we live in a microwave society where we come before God say, ’Give me my blessings and given them to me NOW!’ Thanks for the reminder that good things come to those that wait upon the Lord.”...Mary

“How true...it’s hard to be happy in God’s waiting room.”...Lissa

“Great article I passed it on to the guy who works for me. He needed your words of encouragement”...Anne

“That was good. I needed that for me, Thanks!”...Diann

“A timely word - for all of us”...Judy

“What a timely devotional! I've forwarded it to many of my friends and co-workers. Recently, several of us have had discussions concerning our dreams, goals and desires. You're absolutely right, there are times when it seems as though it's just that...a dream that seems so far from becoming a reality. Thanks be to God for using this article to remind us that both His promise and His oath are true.”...Marsha

“Very inspiring! Makes me want to go back and read the scriptures!”...Andre’

“...a fresh approach. It inspired me.”...Jacque
