I sucked in a deep breath as I surveyed the stacks of boxes and tubs lining the entire perimeter of my grandma’s storage building. Every nook, every cranny – even the rafters – was crammed full of stuff. Since time was not on our side to move her from this home to her new one, […]
“So He Himself often withdrew into the wilderness and prayed.” Luke 5:16 (NKJV) Sitting around our Bible Study table, we found ourselves discussing the topic of spending quiet time with God. As thoughts began chiming in, I sat there baffled that every single lady was in agreeance except me. Not one of them wanted any […]
“And the angel said unto them, ‘Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.’ ” Luke 2:10-11 (KJV) I can only imagine the morale of God’s […]
“Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, good will toward men.” Luke 2:14 (KJV) As we light our second candle of Advent this week we celebrate Peace. “Peace on earth”— a common Christmas slogan that can leave us a bit confused and depressed as we look around our world today and see […]
“The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display His craftsmanship.” (Psalm 19:1) NLT Living in Ohio most of my life where gloomy clouds make up over half the days in a year, I learned to appreciate the sunshine. Every gorgeous, blue-skied sunny day was a treasured gift from God. Now living here in […]
“There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” (John 15:13) NLT I absolutely refused to read the details of Jesus’ arrest and crucifixion.

“Does this sound as if I am trying to win human approval? No indeed! What I want is God’s approval!…” (Galatians 1:10 GNT) Have you ever watched squirrels? I know. That’s kinda random isn’t it? But seriously, if you get a chance, do it. They’re comical. Our neighborhood is full of squirrels. From gathering nuts […]
“Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone.” (Romans 12:18 NLT) Silence is golden. The famous words of wisdom passed through the years. You know… open your ears, not your mouth… put a sock in it… or I love how my sister says it: zip your lip, chip! But there are times […]
My dear brothers and sisters, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger, for human anger does not accomplish God’s righteousness (James 1:19-20 CSB) I’d love to be able to dance. Not the typical sway back and forth boring middle school dance either. I’m talking about clenching a […]
“…but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.” 1 Kings 19:11-12 (NKJV) I remember the very day I established […]
