Before You Vote . . .

Posted on 27-Oct-10 14:27 by Dawn Wilson | Twitter: @HeartChoices
Topics: Impacting your world

As you know, politics is difficult, and often a “dirty” business. We have to remember that in November we’re choosing the better of two candidates, not the better of two evils. (Why do we not phrase it, “choosing the greater good”?) Someone will indeed get elected, and God wants us to choose wisely.

He was from a tiny country in East Africa—an immigrant, divorced long ago, with children he dearly loved. My friend Lynette and I slipped into Kintura's taxi cab at our hotel after the final session of the True Woman conference.

Posted on 04-May-10 17:41 by Dawn Wilson | Twitter: @HeartChoices
Topics: Womanhood

It didn’t take long for an opportunity to share some of what I learned with a woman after a swim class.

Topics: Homefront

A real turning point during the Christmas season came for me when I changed the word "holiday" into "holy-day." When I remember that Christmas is the day Jesus broke through the barrier that separates heaven and earth to create a bridge for us to have eternal life, it doesn't remove the busyness of the season, but it does restore perspective.

Titus 2 Prayers

Posted on 24-Nov-09 21:53 by Dawn Wilson | Twitter: @HeartChoices
Topics: Relationships with Others

While I enjoyed being a young Titus 2 woman (Titus 2:1–5), I entered into the "older woman" role reluctantly. After a while, however, I realized that women were going to watch my life whether I liked it or not, but I could be the Titus 2 woman God designed me to be if I placed my confidence firmly in the Lord.

Tethering

Posted on 30-Oct-09 16:31 by Dawn Wilson | Twitter: @HeartChoices
