A Splash Of Blessing
By Lisa S. Tarno I was mentally exhausted by some of the people in my life who would suck the life energy out of me if I let them. I approached my quiet time in God’s Word with reluctance because where I was studying, the book of Numbers, I doubted there would be anything refreshing…

Right Here, Write HERE!
By Lisa S. Tarno I am overwhelmed! I tried to cry out, “Uncle” to tap out of the events of my life that seem to swirl around me like a tempest,…but God didn’t honor my concession but rather for me to cry out to “Abba, Father” instead. Glaring signs of confirmation of the original stirring…

Choosing Not To Live Offended
By Lisa S. Tarno Shepherds have commonly employed a method of applying oil to a sheep’s head for the reason of protection and healing.

MYOB

A Word From The Word
By Lisa S. Tarno It’s been a year! How do I mean that? Good? Bad? In totality both. I have been hyper focused on health and injury stuff because I’ve had to be. Normally, I am a go-to-the-doctor-once-a-year for the free physical but this year has been excessive for me with alarm bells going off…

Dealing With Our Grief By Finding Hope In God
By Lisa S. Tarno Getting the news that she died last week sent shock waves through our mom community! My initial response was visceral and I let out an audible cry of disbelief!
