February 3, 2015

I’m continuing my countdown to Valentine’s Day with my favorite Bible verses. He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears. ~ Proverbs 26:17 I will never forget this verse. It was quoted to me by my church bus driver when I …

Verses I Love: Proverbs 11:22

February 2, 2015

I’m counting down to Valentine’s Day with verses I love from God’s precious Word. Today, I’m sharing Proverbs 11:22  –  As a jewel of gold in a swine’s snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion. I suppose this is an odd verse to love. But, as I grew into pre-adolescence, I was …

Three Little Things about a Big Thing

January 13, 2015

I struggle with my words.  I could write pages on that struggle (ironic?), but nothing talks about words better than God’s Word. The tongue is a little thing, and yet it seems so very big. 1 . Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a …

But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) ~ Ephesians 2:4-5 I was just trying to make a quick trip to Hobby Lobby. It’s only a few miles from my …

Hindsight Is 20/20

August 25, 2014

“Hindsight is 20/20.”  My dad would say this after I informed him of the results of what I had just learned was a poor decision. How frustrating to see so clearly something you would have liked to have seen a day, a week or even an hour before! Once you make a call on something, …

One Who Never Leaves

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 …

February 19, 2014

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 …

Calm Down, It’s Only Temporary

January 7, 2014

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 …

December 18, 2013

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 …

Rom. 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. I am blessed with an amazing family. My parents faithfully served the Lord through thick and thin while I was growing up. My brother, Kevin, is a pastor, and has served …
