Today, while I was exercising, I thought about writing this blog post. Because when you’re exercising, it helps a great deal to use your imagination. You forget about your lack of oxygen, your aching muscles and your tired feet when you’re doing something completely different in your mind. I thought about Hebrews 13:5 Let your conversation …
For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: – Job 19:25 I mentioned in a post last year that I try to read my Bible through every year. I have done this since I was a young teenager. However, I admit that I often was just …
We were all talking rapidly and excitedly as we walked from the airport to the van after picking up Nana (my mom) for her Christmas visit. This was her first time to our new home in Oklahoma, and I don’t think sugar could have pumped our kids up more! The van was rather crowded and …
I love words. I’m not as good with them as I’d like to be, but I plan on pursuing them for as long as I live. God has allowed me to have access to an unlimited number of books to read. He has allowed me to have this blog for over six years which I …
Last Thursday, I headed north to Oklahoma City en route to Chicago, Illinois. I am totally unfamiliar with our state’s capital, so let’s just say I was intimidated before I even got to the airport. Probably because I got lost. After much prayer, the Lord revealed to me the location of the hotel in which …
Summer time is a time of sorrowful anniversaries for me. My dad’s birthday and death day are both in July. Another personal tragedy (which I don’t mean to remember, but can’t seem to help it) occurred in July also. This last day of July is the day we buried my dad. When you add it …
I just finished a wonderful book on contentment, called Calm My Anxious Heart by Linda Dillow. I wanted to drop in and share something I read in that book that convicted me. I thought it might be a blessing to you, too. On page 13, Mrs. Dillow shares the following list by missionary wife, Ella …
I might have sat in the recliner on a cold night in Kansas, or on the porch swing one humid night in Arkansas, and dreamed about having my own home. I hate to admit it, but when we lived in parsonages, I sometimes sighed when a layman had to enter “our” yard and go into …
A few of the kids enjoying our new backyard. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. ~ John 14:27Moving is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. Perhaps the only the …
My Calling. 🙂 Yesterday, I inadvertently caused a big brouhaha (I just love that word!) on my blog’s Facebook page when I shared some verses that helped me. I try to be real on this blog, but it’s often a fine line to walk between being real and letting it all hang out, so to …
