Jesus Turns
My mouth can get me in trouble. At least I blame my mouth, but I know that I thought it before I said it. It’s interesting that Jesus says our words come from the overflow of our hearts. (Matthew 12:34) It’s not really my mouth that gets me in trouble, but it’s my sinful heart…

Up, Up, and Away!
I had the joy of going on a vacation in the Hocking Hills of Ohio. What beautiful scenery! The hiking was good and not too strenuous. I stayed in a cabin and it was clean and comfortable. There were many deer in the area and I was greeted me in the front yard by one. …

The Spiritual Battle: Suffering and Satan’s Devices – Part 4
THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD HELPS It always amazes me at how quickly I can forget God is with me. When life’s winds blow in my face, I feel those more than I think of God. Let’s face it, we are all infallible! We are not perfect and it shows up the most in the trials…

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…

Everyday Life and God’s Presence
It’s just another day with all the ups and downs of life. As you move through the day, there are so many times you wonder if God is really with you. Sure, you’ve said you believe he’s always there, but do you? When the utility sink is overflowing with water onto the basement floor because…

2021…Three Weeks In
The experts say it takes three weeks to change a habit and then three more weeks for it to become the new habit. How are you doing? We are in week three of making changes; that is if we even bothered to try. The idea of resolutions beginning in the new year has been around…

2021…Here We Go!
The bus is just around the corner to take us into 2021. How strange that sounds! I was born in 1952 and never even dreamed of the year 2000 much less 21 years past that! The truth is, I feel old and young at the same time. My body tells me I’m old, but my…

If Only I had…
The four words, “if only I had” are often said by me, and my guess is by you too. If only we had $100.00 for every time we said those words. Whoops, I said them again! As we look back over our lives and the many interactions we’ve had with others, we can see how…
