    Waiting on the Lord

    Our lives are full of times of waiting. We wait when we go to the doctor, or for test results, or we’re in the wrong line at the grocery store again. These times of waiting are not very enjoyable. There are times of waiting which cause us anticipation which is not unpleasant. Some of these…

  • God’s Word…Eternal

    God’s Word…Eternal

    Have you ever tried to catch the words coming out of your mouth? I have, on many occasions. The words flew out of my mouth before my brain engaged enough to sift through them. Isn’t it maddening that our words need to be sifted? Think of flour and how you sift it so that it…

    What You Can Learn At Disney World – Part 4

    Lesson Four – Followers of Christ are not of the world, however, we are in the world. As you walk through the many streets of Disneyworld, you see many different people. One of the things that really struck me was that people were wearing things I know they would never dare wear in public on…

    What You Can Learn At Disney World – Part 2

    Lesson Two – We have to watch our hearts! Disneyworld is a great place to observe people. One of the things you see are families on vacation together. As I mentioned in my first blog, it is a joy to see the smiles on children’s faces as they look around at all the attractions there.…

  • We Are Family!

    We Are Family!

    Sunday marks another Mother’s Day! It’s a special day to honor mothers. Some women will not be honored on this special day. There are those who have passed away and are no longer with us. Single women will wonder where they fit. Those women who haven’t been able to have children feel a weight on…

    On Track

    Have you ever thought about a train and how it stays on the track? The wheels have a flange on the bottom that looks like an L. This is what hooks to the inside of the track. Does the train ever derail? Yes, it does. There are a few reasons for this. It could be…

  • Family…Who Knew?

    Family…Who Knew?

    Families can be messy!  Aunt Susie doesn’t speak to cousin Mary because, truth is, no one knows why.  Time goes by and they don’t know either.  There was a time when there was a funeral dinner in my basement and I had to make sure to put the two great aunts who were coming at…

    The Spiritual Battle: Suffering and Satan’s Devices – Part 2

     Suffering is not an encouraging topic, but one we should talk about as followers of Christ. There is much for us to learn as we suffer in this life.  We can learn more about God and ourselves.  When we’re suffering we can be tempted by Satan to turn from God and trust in ourselves.  He…

  • Sense of Humor? Or Sovereignty?

    Sense of Humor? Or Sovereignty?

    Teaching the Word of God is one of my passions.  I’m very much alive when I’m studying the Word and seeking to impart the information I’ve learned to others.  It’s my privilege to teach, on Wednesday evenings, a group of ladies at our church.  The subject matter may change but the foundation doesn’t.  God has…

  • Speech: Foolish or Wise?

    Speech: Foolish or Wise?

    The Proverbs have much to say about our speech.  We all know that the words that come out of our mouths can get us into trouble and hurt others.  We all have a problem with taming our tongue.  The book of James spends a great deal of time on this topic.  It is the hardest…
