  • Spelling Champions Declared in Turner

    Donna Miller|Jan 29, 2025

    I Hold My Breath By: Mary McKenzie When I hear the front door open and the mud boots tromping in and the turning of the doorknob and the voice of my children, I hold my breath. I gauge by their expression, by the speed at which they come and tonation of their voice, if their mood is troublesome. I hold my breath. Did the pregnant sow have piglets in the forty-four below? Did the heifer jump the fence for greener pastures? I don’t know… I hold my breath. Is the guinea acting sickly? Did the rooster tear his comb? Did a skunk run off with chi...

    In your prayer time, have you ever paused to consider…no, really consider, the one to whom you are addressing? Who is it that you are speaking to? Is it your heavenly Father? What does that mean exactly? Do you pray to the friend you have in Jesus? Those are pleasant conversations to have. Perhaps you pray to the indwelling Spirit – that is, if you can wrap your head around that one. The point is, when we pause to consider who we are speaking to, it might alter the dialogue just a bit. After all, how we approach a mighty king is different tha...
