I'm sitting here at my desk, looking out my window. Today it is bright and sunny. Those are the best days for me. Give me sunshine and I am a happy girl. Light means a lot to me!
Keep the Focus Where it Needs to Be
Peace seems like an elusive object these days. It should not be for those that follow Jesus. He promised us peace…not the kind of peace the world would give us. The peace that Jesus gives is not really able to be explained in human terms. It slips from our grasp from time to time because … Continue reading Keep the Focus Where it Needs to Be
Getting a Glimpse of Family
Do you have a home Church that you are part of? Our eternal home is not this world, so having a church community that we can call home here is so important. Being part of a Bible believing church that is filled with those that love and serve Christ is such an important aspect of … Continue reading Getting a Glimpse of Family
Look at How You Can Lessen the Load
Quite a few years ago, I was at a church where we were going through a time of transition. There was nothing wrong in the church. It was a time when people were coming in and out and you couldn’t tell if they really cared. They would come to church Sunday morning and then that … Continue reading Look at How You Can Lessen the Load
Service as We Look Toward the Twilight Years
I can see that getting older slows me down in different ways. I will hear something that sounds like a really good idea and I write down a phrase or a sentence that I want to write about later. Then I get distracted with something else and forget to write down the thoughts that I had … Continue reading Service as We Look Toward the Twilight Years
Help Me See Understanding in the Wisdom
I had a friend that went through a messy situation for a little bit because of an incident that happened in a moment in time. There were words said on both sides that probably shouldn’t have been said. There were hurt feelings, maybe on both sides, but undeniably on one side more than the other. … Continue reading Help Me See Understanding in the Wisdom
How Does It Look to Be a Heavenly Citizen in an Earthly Body?
I am blessed and proud to be a citizen of the United States of America. I still get chills when I hear our national anthem. I was raised in a day when we began our school days with a prayer—to God—and the Pledge of Allegiance. We would sing, “This Land Is Your Land,” and, “America … Continue reading How Does It Look to Be a Heavenly Citizen in an Earthly Body?
Can We Get a Look at Perfection
I don’t think that I would consider myself a perfectionist. There are too many things that get left undone sometimes for me to consider myself a perfectionist. My brothers, on the other hand, may consider me a perfectionist. There have been numerous times, back in the day, when each of them, at one time or … Continue reading Can We Get a Look at Perfection
Help Others See Through the Tradition
I have been blessed enough to be able to travel quite a bit throughout my lifetime. I have experienced different countries, different cultures and different customs. I have been able to experience worship in different ways also. It is interesting to see different traditions in churches around the world. The thing I think about with … Continue reading Help Others See Through the Tradition
God’s Peace Looks Like Comfort
I was talking to my cousin today about some disturbing situations going on around the world. I told her that I have turned the news off. I miss the days when Walter Cronkite reported the news. He did it without a bigoted agenda twinkling in his eye. He simply read the news. You have to … Continue reading God’s Peace Looks Like Comfort
Seeing That There is No Separation From the Love of Christ
God has given us His Word as a guide for how we are to live out our Christian walk and how we are to follow the model that Jesus lived out for us. He has also given us the gift of the Holy Spirit to guide us in that walk.
