Have You Checked Your Pride at the Door?

I’ve never really thought of being a person that has PRIDE but recently I’ve discovered it is PRIDE that has gotten in the way for me in more ways than one! This will not be an easy subject for me to discuss because it is hard for a person with pride to admit that they’re prideful! However, through much prayer, God revealed to me that I have issues with PRIDE that need to be squashed. How many...

My Top 5 Money-Saving Tips

I know you get the mail just as I do, and there are some days when I would prefer the mailman to just skip over my house and not deliver the mail unless he had REFUNDS to deliver! I was being a little stubborn this week and opted not open my mail until the weekend. I just didn’t want to bother myself with looking at the unlimited amount of debt that was pilling up already. Some left over from 2012 and...

Pretty Bananas- A Christmas Tale of Thankfulness

Last week I was talking with a good group of ladies from Providence Presbyterian Church about the need to be thankful not only for our big blessings, but for our little ones as well. I’ll admit, for me, it sometimes seems silly to be thankful for the personal, tiny pieces of happiness that cross my path. Almost presumptuous to assume that God really cares about the fact that today I got...

Answers in Unlikely Places

It’s a fact that haunts me daily. I cannot escape it — it is there, like a soreness that needs an analgesic rub. Pastors are expected to have all the answers. The simple statement of that fact alleviates some of the soreness, yet doesn’t erase it completely. The prideful side of me wants to say, “Why yes, I do know the answer to that question. And here it is…” as I wax eloquent, speaking...

Miracles In the ICU- Defying the Odds Through an Aneurism and Stroke

This week has been a challenging one for some of us in the Signposts family. The following is a letter from my husband about his father, who had a stroke on Wednesday. I think that there are lessons to be learned here. Whether the patient is 57 years old, or 7 years old, sometimes outcomes of illness or accident defy logic. This is a summary of the miracles we collectively saw this week. There were many...

Lickety Split Timer App- A Review

Friends, I am not a fan of the overuse of electronic devices. We don’t have to have an app for everything. In our house we use timers a lot for various activities, and I never expected to need anything beyond the (extremely versatile) timer I keep in my pocket. In fact, that timer is so awesome, it may just get its own post one day. My expectation of never needing a “high tech” timer...
