When Pigs Fly

August 4, 2026 - The term "when pigs fly" refers to something that will never happen - an impossible event or outcome that will never occur.

But as we are told in Luke 1:37, "For with God, nothing shall be impossible." What exactly does that mean and how can we experience the impossible in our lives?

  1. Another helpful phrase is the fact that failing to plan is planning to fail. While some positive outcomes may occur in our lives without much effort on our part, the likelihood is that we will need to contribute to the blessings we seek,
  2. Trusting that God has our best interest at heart requires us to put our own expectations aside. What can you do to increase your faith in Him?
  3. Look back over your life. When have seen the impossible happen, when everything around you seemed to indicate abject failure?
  4. What blessings seem totally out of reach? Is there anything you can do to be better prepared for the time when those blessings will come?
  5. It is so easy to slip into doubt and fear when things aren't happening as we wish they would. What one small thing can you do to be more positive and optimistic?

So, take a look at what is going on in your life this week and figure out a way to plan and better prepared for what is to come. And who knows? Maybe those metaphorical pigs just might take flight!

Iron Rod Press Newsletter Vol. 2, No. 37 Falling in Love with Learning September 15, 2026 - Nothing says fall more than back to school. I know I'm going to date myself here, but sharpened No. 2 pencils, the smell of textbooks, Pee-Chee folders, and the latest fashion brings on an excitement I can't explain. Which is odd, because I graduated from high school nearly 50 years ago! Later as an adult, I taught junior high French and felt that same enthusiasm. I realize now that the whatever I was...

Iron Rod Press Newsletter Vol. 2, No. 36 Falling in Love with Fall September 8, 2026 - Welcome to my new series, "Falling in Love with Fall." There is something about this season which stirs my soul. For me, autumn is that comfortable place between hot summers and chilly winters. I love the idea of grabbing a sweater and hot drink, and settling in for an early Christmas video. The idea of nesting, creating a space of coziness is more than just a good idea, it's a great one! But what about...

Iron Rod Press Newsletter Vol. 2, No. 35 Reflecting God's Light September 1, 2026 - Seeing myself in a mirror is not always a pleasant experience. I see my wrinkles, my rolls, my grey hair and wonder where my divine nature as a daughter of God went. Then I remember that more than my physical appearance, is the importance of my spiritual appearance - one that with His help, I can reflect to bless the lives of others. It's not always easy, but here are a few thoughts of how we can reflect God's...
