Good morning from Napa, California. I’m still in California for meetings, yesterday driving out to Napa and today driving back in near San Francisco before flying back home later today. Last night I had the privilege of staying at the home of one of my VineSleuth advisors. She and her husband have been incredibly hospitable.…

I may have selected one verse to share today, but I strongly suggest you read all of the Psalm 32, as it really puts the one verse in context. David, the Psalmist, talks about his pain from sin, and then what happened once he came clean with that sin and talked with God about it.…

I feel very close to God right now. I see His gifts and am reminded of His words to me frequently. I am thankful for His guidance and am overjoyed by the doors He has opened for me. There have been times, though, that I felt I was crying out and not being heard. But…

What grabbed me from today’s reading was something not necessarily for me, but for someone I love. This person needed to hear this today. I shared it with that person already and was in prayer for him/ her. Now I am sharing it with you. Here is what I heard in Psalm 30 using SOAP:

Good morning! Today’s Psalm had a great reminder for me. I treat my relationship with Christ very comfortably, as though He is someone who can be approached whenever I want, like a best friend who is always here. That is true, but there is more to it than that. Here is what I heard in…

This one I love so very much. I’ve held it as truth for so very long. Thursday morning, when I was sitting in the audience at the IBM Watson West event, about to go on stage, thinking about how excited I was for the opportunity to speak in front of the 400 or so in…

I’m heading home today after a big week in California. My husband came out to spend a little R&R time with me at the end and it has been fantastic. I’m eager to get back to our kids, though. I hope you are having a nice weekend. Here is what I heard in Psalm 27…

Today’s reading was a bit humbling and yet comforting. I do NOT see myself as sinless and yet, with Christ, I am. He washes away my sins… which is a really big deal. Even in considering that, I couldn’t pick a verse that talks about being blameless. That was too much. But this one I…

Whew! Yesterday was a BIG day. I was a speaker at an IBM Watson event in San Francisco and it was phenomenal. I hope to fill you in more about it later, but for now, I’ll include a link to a related press release at the end. (I don’t want to distract you in your devo…

This morning I had a hard time grabbing just one verse that stood out to me. Each verse that jumped out really needed the support of the others around it for me today and the entire passage had a beautiful message. Here’s what I heard in Psalm 24: Scripture: Psalm 23:5 makes me smile: The…

Good morning from San Francisco! I’m here for an event that takes place tomorrow and my heart is bursting with joy at the opportunity I have been given to be a part of it. I can’t give you more details now, but perhaps tomorrow I can share. What I can say now is that, once…

I am typing this while standing in line to board a plane– yes, really, so bear with me in my brevity. I woke this morning, read the chapter and was puzzled as to which verse to highlight. I couldn’t sit still and ponder much, as, well, I’ve got this flight. And so, here I am.…

This past weekend I spent leading my daughter and some girls from her Girl Scout troop in their first camping experience. The rest of the troop (minus 2 girls) will camp for the first time in November, sand I have no doubt this first group will be fantastic leaders for the rest of the troop on…

I’m weary. There are so many things pulling at me. Are you feeling the same way? I bet David did, too. Fortunately, I don’t have enemies attacking me or my people in the way David did. But I do feel pressed and pulled, that is for sure. I am getting ahead of myself. Here is…

Today’s devotional just makes me smile…  hope it does the same for you. He is right there for us always. Here is what I heard in Psalm 17: Scripture: Psalm 17: 6-7 I call upon you, for you will answer me, O God; incline your ear to me, hear my words. Wondrously show your steadfast love,…
