My tribute: December 2014
http://itsbygracealone.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, 20 December 2014. Stepping into the next moment. Life can be a trial. Things happen constantly that keep us ever vigilant ever watchful ever on our guard. Maybe life is a bit hectic for you, things can so quickly get on top of us; life has so many twists and turns. Even our own countries seem in a continual state if upheaval - horrors abound everywhere and no matter where we turn we can see life is often so cruel and heartless. Will our families cope with added burdens and worries? We really ha...

My tribute: January 2015
http://itsbygracealone.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Monday, 26 January 2015. We say "God bless you" and Heaven weeps! Listening to Keith Green's amazing song "Asleep in the Light" really stirred me up as I was having my morning jog just recently. There I was enjoying the stillness, if humid, early summer morning here in Australia - ear phones in and my Nano Pod on 'shuffle' jogging away like I have done countless times before, when this song, which I might add, I must have heard at least fifty times, started to play. How glibly those words rolled off my k...

My tribute: March 2015
http://itsbygracealone.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, 15 March 2015. Crumbs on the Table. Have you ever been really hungry and then walked past a really good bakery and the smell of the freshly baked bread nearly drives you insane? When the first century Jews heard Jesus refer to Himself as the "Bread of Life" they likely thought of the basic staple, the life-sustaining constant in theirs and our daily diet. Where does Jesus stand in your life? Is He your number one thought in the morning and your last thought at night? Now, please don't take me wro...

My tribute: Mind the Gap
http://itsbygracealone.blogspot.com/2015/06/mind-gap.html
Wednesday, 3 June 2015. Ever stopped to consider just how many 'warnings' there are that surround us every day? There are hundreds of different warning signs - you just have to walk down a main street to spy just a few - from pedestrian crossing signs to watching our health and safety - they are everywhere. When visiting overseas, you have probably been warned hundreds of times when getting on and off trains to "mind the gap" - why it's even plastered on tee shirts! Beware of forgetting God, Deut 8:11, B...

My tribute: Downwardly mobile
http://itsbygracealone.blogspot.com/2015/04/downwardly-mobile_28.html
Tuesday, 28 April 2015. Well: we all know about "Upwardly Mobile" - the definition of which the English Dictionary describes as "(of a person or social group) moving or aspiring to move to higher social class or to a position of increased status or power.". So to be "Upwardly Mobile" we need to move up through the social classes to become richer and more powerful - exactly what the world out there loves to teach us so so often. DOWN" is a word reserved for losers - it should be avoided at all costs and e...

My tribute: August 2014
http://itsbygracealone.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, 30 August 2014. Revealed: letting the cat out of the bag. Just reading a book by John Bevere called EXTRAORDINARY. It has certainly been a journey and an eye-opening one at that. In His book John maintains that we as humans have three images our "projected' image, our "perceived" image and of course our "actual" image. If you were raised in Sunday School like I was - you know all the 'right' things to say to rise to almost any situation you are put into when it comes to holding your own in a 'r...

My tribute: Demolition Day
http://itsbygracealone.blogspot.com/2015/06/demolition-day.html
Tuesday, 30 June 2015. Time is up now is the time - right now - no more delays - demolition day is upon us! Right now is the very time God is demanding our utmost devotion. Heart and soul - in all respects - in toto - utterly and totally. Jesus didn't die for lukewarm devotion - He didn't die to share His life with anything or anyone else! There was a god of the Philistines mentioned in the Bible - Dagon was it's name - fierce looking thing - a fertility god I think it was - huge beast of thing. The next...

My tribute: May 2015
http://itsbygracealone.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, 23 May 2015. Make my life a prayer. Ever been in a situation where you feel your prayers are bouncing off the ceiling - no-one is there - you feel nothing and all is silent? I have - and it's very disconcerting to say the very least. Some may tell us that we get no answers to our prayers because we are simply overwhelmed with guilt and it's fairly and squarely our own fault. We are afraid and self centred and have no real faith in God. It's so easy to say God isn't listening to our prayers beca...
