“Desire is inflamed by seeing. We need to fix our eyes on worthier things.” Jen Wilkin, pg. 89

I can't think of anything worthier than God and His Word.

Psalm 119:15-16 I will meditate on your precepts and fix my eyes on your ways. I will delight in your statutes; I will not forget your word. ESV

Hebrews 12:1-3 And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. NIV

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. ESV

Book Review: A Quarter for a Kiss, Christian Romantic Suspense

Book Review: A Christian Romantic Suspense 

Callie Webber is a likable character—funny, courageous, and loyal to her friends. Tom Bennett, Callie’s boyfriend and her boss, is more of an enigma. Lots of questions surrounding his involvement with covert activities. Together, they try and discover who attempted to kill Callie’s old friend and mentor, Eli Gold. There are many twists and turns, and the main storyline is resolved at the end, but Callie and Tom’s relationship is left to be resolved in the last book in this series. All in all, A Quarter for a Kiss is a good summer read.

Staying Our Minds on Jesus

 If we leave our quiet time with the Lord without taking Him with us, we are the losers. I know this from experience. I'd have a wonderful time in the Word and in prayer, leave my room assured I was loved and heard. Then forget all about it within 30 minutes because of problems that arise or people I needed to talk to or things that needed my attention "right now!" The Bible tells us "You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you." This is where the battle takes place--staying the mind on Jesus come what may. But I've found if I simplify my life, live at a slower pace, take "time-out" moments to reconnect with God, maybe by keeping a meaningful verse on an index card and reading it slowly, I have a better awareness of God with me. I'm a happier person. I don't strive so hard. And my priorities stay aligned. God wants to help us get our lives in order making our top priority walking with Him, abiding in Him. I'd like to encourage you to keep Scripture meaningful to you handy--on index cards, post-it notes, whatever works for you. We need our minds humbly and prayerfully stayed on Jesus. With all the anger, unrest, and havoc in this world, He is our peace.

I had fun writing it, and I hope you enjoy the humor of this mystery spoof. If you read it, I would really appreciate your honest rating and/or review.

May God Himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The One who has called you is faithful, and He will do it. 1 Thess. 5:23-24
