The Common Denominator

I am musing at

The Greatest Common Denominator

Have you ever noticed that someone "likes" or comments on one of your friend's Facebook posts and you wonder "How does she know her?" It is always kind of fun and intriguing when someone you know knows someone else you know, and they seem to come from completely different demographics. For example, maybe one of your friends from High School happens to know one of your friends from a past job that was in a different city. "What is the connection?" you may wonder.

My mind took this thought quite a bit further. All the way to Heaven actually.

When we get to Heaven and look around, there will be one thing that draws us all together. The one connecting reason that each of us is there! Most likely, as we enter the glorious realm above, we will be in such awe, and awash with such wonder at His merciful grace and love for us, so taken aback by the indescribable beauty around us, that our completely sanctified minds will not even wonder something as earthy as "why are they here"? We will be so inexplicably humbled and overcome with the reality that "we are here"!

And we will all behold our wonderful common denominator. Jesus! He who gave His life for us! Our merciful Lord, Redeemer and Savior! All of us will be connected by the love of Jesus and what He did for us! Our common denominator is our Uncommon Dominator! Our "all-in-all"! May He dominate our hearts and lives today!!

"There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all ONE IN JESUS CHRIST" Galations 3:28

Jesus is truly the GREATEST Common Denominator!

God Stories. What's yours?

I am marveling at God stories. What's yours?? Our daughter has a good friend. Her name is Stephanie. She is creative, talented, bubbly, sensitive and loves Jesus! And she wrote a book. For kids. About God. Called Always Remember . It is different then most kid's books. It has a poetic lilt which is beautiful, but atypical in its cadence. It's wording is unique; yet lovely. It is simple and it is deep. It's premise is pivotal, declaring Truth! It is almost layered in that each reading of this basically simple book helps peel back another level of understanding and appreciation. It is a book that is actually instructional. It should be read often as a way to reflect and then to live. The main theme is teaching kids (and adults alike) to... Stop. Ponder. Remember God. To see Him every day in everything. To align daily with who He is. It is beautifully illustrated, with large colorful pictures that engage, teach, enlighten and intrigue. She shared how the book was firs...

There once was a fly....

I am musing on a story that begins like this.... There once was a fly. There once was a fly. It lived in Salt Lake City. More specifically, in Kingsbury Hall on the campus of the University of Utah. Kingsbury Hall is the Performing Arts Center. So that fly had the opportunity to view many productions. Last night, that fly was viewing a televised production that likely millions were watching. As that fly buzzed around, it decided to land on a nice head of white hair. And stay there awhile. Little did he know, that he was sitting on the head of the Vice President of the United States. Little did he know how important the role of Vice President of the United States is. Little did he know how important the upcoming election which was being debated is. Little did he know how much of that country's future was at stake. Little did he know how many prayers were being offered for that man upon whose head he sat... and for those he works with Little did he know of the challenges that...

Thank You and God Bless!!

Thank you friends and family for coming along on this musing and marveling journey the last three and half years. The journey is not over. There is still plenty of musing and marveling to do. But for now, I have come to a place of pause and reflection. As 2023 rolls to its close, I am considering taking a step of faith to put this into a book to be shared with those I love, and those who love (or will love) Jesus! All along, it has been about using God given stories and random analogies to encourage and inspire, as together we let life point us to our life-giver, Jesus! And that is my prayer for each of you dear readers...that you may be encouraged, each day, to continue on in this Christ-following journey. Look to Him! Shine for Him! Love Him! Share Him! It is what we are called to do! For this life is all about serving our Lord and bringing others to the Father's throne of mercy and grace, that place where we all find hope, purpose and peace. And to each of our precious grand-c...
