June and Jesus

  • Pray Continually

    Pray Continually

    Pray continually 1 THESSALONIANS 5:17 As April was coming to an end, there was so much to be thankful for. I always wonder if I would have enough days ahead of me  to thank God for everything he has already done in the days gone by.  All I could think of was joining both my…

  • He Brews the Best!

    He Brews the Best!

    I wrote this blog on 4-12-2021 and shared it with only my friends. Yesterday I strongly felt the urge to post it yesterday but I stalled since I just published one. Today 13th April 2024, I was again reminded in my devotional time, to post it on my website and as I re-read it after…

  • A ‘BUT THEN’ SHIFT OF YOUR RED SEA – a Psalm 77 meditation

    A ‘BUT THEN’ SHIFT OF YOUR RED SEA – a Psalm 77 meditation

     Psalm 77 NLT For Jeduthun, the choir director: A psalm of Asaph. 1 I cry out to God; yes, I shout.    Oh, that God would listen to me!2 When I was in deep trouble,    I searched for the Lord.All night long I prayed, with hands lifted toward heaven,    but my soul was not comforted.3 I think of God, and I moan,    overwhelmed…

  • What Does ‘The CROSS’ Mean to Me? Reflections on Good Friday

    What Does ‘The CROSS’ Mean to Me? Reflections on Good Friday

    The CROSS and what it means to ME A ‘love’ that humanity has never experienced before and will never experience from a fellow human being – an unfailing, faithful, unconditional, everlasting love promised by my Maker to me. A ‘river’ that flowed in red alongside a Father’s final rescue plan for His beloved child, for me.…

  • When Google cannot locate you, God can!

    When Google cannot locate you, God can!

    Men don’t like to ask for directions.  I do.  That’s not because I am not a man.  I love to ask for directions but mind you, only to human beings, not to Maps or Apps. One hot summer afternoon, I decided to test my quest – to go on an expedition drive without using the Google Map.…

    Red Stone Jimmiki Kammal – An Autobiography

    (Red Stone Dangling Earring) Phew!  Finally I am out in broad day light. Where am I?  I almost resigned myself to thinking that I am not going to see the light of day.  It has been 5 years since I even felt red. Even if I were a black stone, I definitely would need a…

  • HOW MUCH HAIR DID YOU LOSE?

    HOW MUCH HAIR DID YOU LOSE?

    Few questions in life really make you think, don’t they?   I really couldn’t answer this question, a  friend asked me yesterday, while I was ranting about my recent unprecented hair loss.  Today as I stared at my bathroom floor in the shower the questioned popped up in my head again amongst other questions as to How…

  • With Me or Without Me?

    With Me or Without Me?

    ​ It was not Tom Cruise who attracted me to watch the whole movie but Cameron Diaz’s name in the movie – “June Havens”.   I have never seen a movie with my name in it!  It was an action-packed movie about June getting into an accidental exciting adventure with Tom who happens to be an…

  • Pick up your coffee cup this Thanksgiving!

    Pick up your coffee cup this Thanksgiving!

    It is a cold Tuesday morning before Thanksgiving. The lake effect and the historical snow thunderstorms in the Northeast of the United States are not helping break the superglue bond between me and my bed under my warm comforters this morning. The only thing that drives me to get out of bed is my cup…

  • It was worth getting lost

    It was worth getting lost

    The phone rang. My son called me excitedly, not really caring about the fact that I was just waking up on the east coast of the United States. “Mom I am at the beach. Marina Beach” he said. I could feel the wave of excitement from the shores of Bay of Bengal in India, as…

  • Can God Find Your Earbud?

    Can God Find Your Earbud?

    I know it is silly!  I have been searching for my pair of earbuds for almost 2 weeks now.  When I am looking for it in my house, I most assuredly convince myself it is in my car.  When I don’t find it in the car, I tell myself it should be in the bedroom…

  • Is There A Better Place Than A Palace?!

    Is There A Better Place Than A Palace?!

    As kids we have only heard of stories of Kings and Queens, when we let our imaginations run wild with the sparkly diamonds and rubies on their crowns, the gold and the glitter on their long flowing gowns, their immaculate gloves and impeccable manners, the thousands of servants running hither thither to cater to their…
