It’s been a tough year and, on this Thanksgiving Day, it could be a challenge to find things to be thankful for! I suspect that everyone’s life looks a little different right now than it usually does. In fact, it would be easy to sink into what my mom calls the “mully grubs”. Yet, numerous […]
Fainting within Me
While in the belly of the great fish Jonah makes a passionate statement, When my soul was fainting within me, I remembered the Lord, And my prayer came to You, Into Your holy temple. Jonah 2:7 AMP “When my soul was fainting within me”. Jonah was referring to his impending death when he made that […]
After the Molt
My son spent some of his hard earned money recently on a new pet…a red claw crab. I wasn’t exactly excited over this new pet when my son first proposed the idea of buying one. I tried my hardest to talk him OUT of buying the thing. But, he was insistent that he wanted to […]
Proverbs 31:12, All the Days of her Life
ALL the days of her life. What about them? Well, Proverbs 31:11 says that, Of course the church will bring Jesus GOOD all the days of her life!!!! But, then I was reminded of a story from my teenage years. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life Proverbs […]
Daniel 2: Pleading for the King’s dream
Daniel chapter 2 starts with a King and a dream. Nebuchadnezzar knows that this dream isn’t just any old dream! It’s special and he needs to know what it means! He calls in his swarm of wise men, magicians, sorcerers and the like and proceeds to give them and impossible task: tell me what I […]
Where is God when things on earth seem so bad?
I hear so many people during this difficult time saying, “Where is God? Why isn’t he stopping this?” They want Him to instantaneously fix everything! After all, if He is real and if He loves us why does He let us suffer? That is a question that has been asked since the beginning of time. […]
Choosing God’s Table
But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine Daniel 1:8a Daniel was most likely in his teens when Nebuchadnezzar’s army besieged his hometown, Jerusalem, and took him captive. He walked approximately 1600 miles from Jerusalem to Babylon. There is a chance he was made a eunuch. Daniel had a lot […]
Steps to Eternal Life: Open the Door!
As I listened to my pastor preach on Facebook live this morning I found myself sketching out his words. Words that held great truth and wisdom so I thought I’d share them with you! The above door is in my hallway and, if you were to open it in real life blankets might fall on […]
Mary Said Yes!
I love it when I see something in the Bible that I’ve “read” a million times but never really “seen”. It happened to me recently when reading the Christmas story in Luke. Mary has always seemed voiceless to me. She seems like the character in a movie that isn’t really in control of their own […]
Do Christians “need” to go to Church?
Do Christians need to go to church on a regular basis? Is it truly important in this era of technological communication to connect with Christians on a regular basis? At one time in our society, this question would never have been asked! However, in 2019 only 23% of Americans attended church every week![1] However, […]
