Who am I? So many labels can be applied to any of our lives. I'm a born-again follower of Jesus Christ, a pastor's wife, an author, mother, grandmother, musician, and blogger, and podcaster. "Beyond Common Sense" is a place where I share "Lessons Learned While Walking with Jesus." I have found that not only is God everywhere, but He teaches us through our experiences and common, ordinary examples from His world. From the inchworm to the tragedy of my husband's fall, all of these hold timeless truths handed to us by our heavenly Father to draw us closer to Him. How wonderful! What a privilege to share some of those lessons... with you!

The Sovereignty of God?
January 19, 2022
What exactly is that? Sovereignty is defined as supreme power or authority. But do we really believe that God controls our steps, directs our paths? Most born-again believers could probably quote Proverbs 3:5,6. Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And … More The Sovereignty of God?

Last fall my husband and I had a wonderful get-away-time at Cape May, NJ. It was in October, so the beach was very quiet. Our hotel sat right on the beach which gave us a side view of the ocean. (Front view rooms were way too expensive. I really…
Jesus and Hercules
January 13, 2022
I was recently reminded that Greek mythology is taught in our public schools but the name of the one true God is only heard as a curse word. How sad. As we’ve just celebrated the birth of Jesus, I’ve also been reminded that many people we brush shoulders with every day have absolutely no comprehension … More Jesus and Hercules
Contentment

Is it any wonder that Paul writes,”godliness with contentment is great gain?” Can you be content when your circumstances are spiraling out of control? https://www.spreaker.com/episode/48225831
