So we’re not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish [...]

It has come to our house. I was afraid it would, have battled against it, refuse to consider the possibility of it’s arrival, but it has made an appearance anyway.  It’s the dreaded flu. Thankfully most of us managed to get a flu shot this year so that’s helpful. It seems this years strain is [...]

This week is not progressing the way I had intended it to. I am without a vehicle, carless, non-transportation endowed, walking, hoofing it, on foot, sans carriage, you get the picture. I can’t go nowhere! WAHHH! It seems J’s beloved truck has serious issues. They told us at the shop it would take way more [...]

I am a little melancholy right now. I assume it is the aftermath of the wonderful trip J and I took up into the mountains last week. The ‘rents came up and stayed with the brothers while we snuck  away for a couple of nights. It’s been too many years to count since we did [...]

I read a story recently that was a little shocking to me. It concerned a wee little lamb born way across the world in the region of Georgia (the one near Russia, not the one near Alabama!).  The mama sheep never let on that anything was different about this pregnancy compared to the other times [...]

Sometimes we lose sight of God. We can’t see Him. We don’t know where He went. There’s no obvious signs of His presence. We are puzzled, depressed and downhearted. Micah has a word of advice for us. LOOK! WAIT! Look to the Lord and wait for Him. Could it be that He has silenced Himself [...]

Did you ever have one of those days? Maybe the day turned into days, weeks or even months and years? Times when you’re just caught or trapped. Places where you find yourself in need of rescue? Occasions when you just weren’t sure which end was up and you didn’t really even care? Or a time [...]

Forgiveness is so vital to our health. The Greek word for forgive in these verses is the word aphiémi. It means: to send away (like a divorce), to yield up, to expire, to let go, let alone, let be, disregard, omit, neglect, to go away leaving something behind. The Word of God teaches us that [...]

How many times have you read or heard this passage? For me, it’s too many to count, but recently, I have seen it in a different light. Yes, we must remain in Him in order to produce the fruit of the spirit, but it works both ways. We must remain grafted into Him as the [...]

Be resolute! Grow firm! Strengthen yourself! Prevail! Not only for your sake, but for the sake of those all around you who have been placed near! You have need to gather yourself in this earthly war. You have reason to remain strong! Even though the battle is near, the victory has already been accomplished. The [...]

Each day I have things for you to do, people for you to touch and places I want you to go. Each day there is purpose for you to be alive and reason for the breath that keeps coming from you. Every day I have mercy for you to bathe in as you walk and [...]

I have a lake. Some would call it a pond, but, it is, in fact, a lake. It’s my lake. I don’t own it, it’s not on my property, I can’t even see it from my house. That matters not, it is still my lake. I pass it on my way into town. It’s surrounded [...]
