He replied, “Whether he is a sinner or not, I don’t know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!”  John 9:25

Do you remember that guy in the gospel whom Jesus touched and though he was born blind, he was able to see?  The teachers of the law were irate and gave him a hard time, but he shrugged his shoulders and said, “All I can tell you is that I couldn’t see, but I’m seeing now!”  That’s how I feel today.  I can really relate to this guy.

At work yesterday, I backed up my photo files from my laptop onto a CD.  In the evening, I turned on my laptop only to find out that I could not type.  My m’s, for instance, were 6’s, etc.  I asked my husband to Google this problem on his desktop since I couldn’t type.  For 30 minutes we tried to follow directions using the Nmlk key and shutting down and booting up tons of times.  Stumped, he gave up, and my laptop rested in my lap.  I didn’t know what to do.

This is where it gets weird and the cynics laugh.  In my technological ignorance, I prayed that Jesus would show me what to do.  I followed up my little prayer of faith with action and pressed the Scrlk key just for the heck of it and walla….I could type again.  No technological help line or instruction booklet saved me, but prayer.    What can I say except that I didn’t know what to do about not being able to type and then I was typing!

Coincidence?  There’s no such word as coincidence in Hebrew.  We believe that Jesus is always with us and willing to help; He cares about every detail of our lives!

    It proves that nothing is too small or "stupid" to pray about or for.... We are to bring everything to him.... and that's what you did... Thanks for the reminder.

    It says in James, 'you receive not because you ask not." Hallelujah that you asked!

    This is such an important message, Mary. You remind us that even in the littlest things our Father cares and is willing to answer.

    Thank you for sharing this testimony!

    God answers our simple prayers in ways we often do not expect. I am thankful that He always hears us and is ready to assist. I too have pushed the caps lock and my password would not work, Soon God helped me to see the answer to a simple problem. Look at all the lights on your computer and see if they are telling you something. Thank you for sharing at Tell me a Story.

    Great point. The world, even Christians, rely so much on our senses and intellect that we miss the point of the whole of scripture; The omnipotence of our Father!

    This is a good reminder for me today. Thanks.

The Trade

My best friend’s husband died, but she did not place her wedding ring in a draw.  She designed a new ring, an everyday kind of ring, and incorporated the diamonds from her wedding ring.  I cheered her on for her ingenuity to keep his memory close at all times. A gal in my critique group wrote about the best Christmas present she ever received.  She inherited her late mother-in-law’s mink coat.  She loved her dearly, but when she put on the coat, she felt like she stepped out of the 1950’s.  She hated the thought of it placed in a box and stacked on a closet shelf.  Her husband took it to a furrier and surprised her at Christmas with a brand new mink stole.  I choked up when I read her words of love for her mother-in-law and the beautiful mink cape she wore for a classy event in frigid Flagstaff during the holidays. The Spiritual Trade off I don’t have a mink coat or extra diamonds to create something new.  I do have some thin...

Spiritual Sundays ~ Not Just For Prophets

I smiled when I heard Pat Robertson on the 700 Club make this remark: “Doesn’t everyone talk to God?” He was referring to the jab that Joy Behar gave to Christine O’Donnell, running for Senate in Delaware. Christine was asked by one of her supporters why she goes out on a limb defending her conservative Christian convictions in such a hostile campaign. “Because God told me to” she replied. And for that, Joy called her crazy because she hears from God. The cry of my heart is to be able to hear God’s voice. When God speaks personally, there’s nothing else like it in the whole world. I studied the 25th chapter of Genesis this week and noticed how troubled Rebekah was during her pregnancy. She said “Why is this happening to me?” She was referring to the jostling in her womb. So she went to inquire of the Lord. And the Lord said to her: “Two Nations are in your womb, And two peoples from within you will be separated; One people will be stronger than the other And the older will serve the y...

Spiritual Sundays ~ Shalom!

On Monday at sunset we will celebrate our Jewish Roots for the 27th year with a Passover Seder. We have a lot of memories over the years and I always look forward to eating this special meal with its unique foods and order of celebration. One of my favorite memories over the years is the hiding of the Afikomen matza. The Rabbi, or my husband in our home, places three pieces of matza (unleavened bread) in three pockets of a bag called the Afikomen. The Afikomen is placed on the table with other elements. At the beginning of the Seder, the rabbi removes the middle matza, breaks it in half, and hides the half in a linen napkin somewhere in the room. Towards the end of the night, just after the Seder meal is eaten, the rabbi turns to the youngest person, usually a child, and asks him to find the hidden matza. He then rewards the child usually with some chocolate candy. We’ve asked Jewish people why this is part of the ritual and most reply that they do not know what it represents. I’ve rea...
