Our encouragement today comes from my weekly Lunch engagement

with my mom. We love spending time together and get into some interesting

topics. Today's topic turned theological and is quite helpful for when

bad things happen to us and others.

Our encouragement today comes from a lovely, serene,

peaceful weekend in Dallas Center Iowa with Dave and Dianne.

Our encouragement today comes from editing some amazing Antarctica

photos. I learned this new feature on my iPhone and it has some interesting

theological ramifications. Listen and be encouraged. Have a great one!

Our encouragement today comes from reflecting on some jumnbles

in my day. Perhaps your day gets jumbled from time to time. Listen to

my reflections on my jumbled day. Maybe it will encourage you to do some

soul searchng as well! Have a great one!

Our encouragement today comes from some recent observations.

I share four little life stories that have given me a boost, made me smile,

warmed my heart, and just plain encouraged me along the way.

My hope is that you notice those little things in your life!

Our encouragement today comes from some reflection time on

why I haven't podcasted in a couple of months. This is a simple

concept to say, but sometimes hard to do. Create the time and space

in your busy schedule to learn how to improve!

Our encouragement today comes from an observation

while driving to an appointment in 37-degree weather. I remembered

how 37 degrees impacted some dear friends of mine. Listen to my story.

My hope is that you get encouraged by 37 too!

Our encouragement today comes from an observation

along the Northwest Lancaster County River trail. I noticed

the trees and poles blanketed with vines and ivy. This set off

my imagination about blankets. My hope is that you get encouraged!

Our encouragement today comes from a strange connection

I made by hitting my brakes to avoid hitting a dove. I wore away

some of my brake life but then connected it to what my Lord Jesus

did for me..... and you! Listen and be encouraged.

Our encouragement today comes from seeing God at work.

I had written my daily prayer in my journal and almost instantly

God started to unfold His glory, majesty, and beauty in an answer

to prayer! I'm constantly amazed and in awe! Keep on praying!
