It’s Sunday. We’re back home. And there’s nothing like being in our home church on Sunday morning. We choose to worship no matter where we are–and we’ve been blessed to worship in […]
Is Death Really Such a Puzzle?
Some of you have read and followed my blog since the beginning (and I thank you!). If you remember how it all started, it was during the time that my father-in-law was […]
The Battle of 2014
“In the ancient world, a city without walls was helpless before it’s enemies… to have it’s walls complete was evidence of divine favor and meant that the inhabitants could carry on life […]
Words
Words. They come too easily. They don’t come at all. Sometimes I’m afraid I’ll say too much–other times I wish I had said more. We use our words to hurt and to […]
If I Could Only Say One Thing To Graduates
Graduation time is here, and I am sure there will be plenty of advice being thrown around. If I only had only one opportunity to speak words of encouragement to a graduate, what […]
IN AWE OF OUR CREATOR
This mother/nana is completely in awe. It’s our fourth grandchild and nothing can diminish the complete joy and awe of what God has done! I’ll never tire of this privilege. Keep ’em […]
The Picture of a Know-it-All

I can’t even speak to this verse. It speaks for itself. Oh, that we would hear God’s heart as He cries out to us. May we cry out to Him.
