Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble, And He saved them out of their distresses. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, And broke their chains in pieces. Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, And for His wonderful works to the children of men! Psalm 107:13-15 NKJV Small, seemingly insignificant things canContinue reading “Deadly!”

Be Renewed!
I recently heard a sermon regarding the importance of “quiet time.” In our electronic age of email, texts, and other “alerts” it can become harder to experience peace and quiet. As we are increasingly connected to one another we may risk becoming “disconnected” from our Creator. Time without digital distractions or other deterrents is vitalContinue reading “Be Renewed!”
Home!
A few days ago I enjoyed the opportunity to go home. Not to the house in Georgia where I live with my husband and two boys but back home to my mother’s house where I grew up and lived for nearly twenty years. Everyone should have a “safe” place to turn. Not necessarily a physical structure,Continue reading “Home!”
Dead Wood, New Life!
It dawned on me just recently why I love spring so much. I certainly enjoy the beauty of flowers and fresh green leaves. Warmer temperatures are also a plus. Yet, since I’ve learned to make gardening less of a chore and more of a joy, it is the promise for new life that makes me appreciate springContinue reading “Dead Wood, New Life!”

Survive or Thrive?

The promise of renewal encourages me to look forward to good things in my future. Do I know whatContinue reading “Survive or Thrive?”
What Are You Searching For?
Seek good and not evil, That you may live; So the Lord God of hosts will be with you, As you have spoken. Hate evil, love good; Establish justice in the gate. It may be that the Lord God of hosts Will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph. Amos 5:14 NKJV “Seek good, notContinue reading “What Are You Searching For?”
New Year, New You?
With only a few days into the New Year many “resolutions” have been made. And broken. The stamina required for significant change looms far too large for many. Athletes conquer their challenges with the help of a coach. Students achieve academic goals with help from parents and teachers. But what about the rest of us?Continue reading “New Year, New You?”
One Last Look…
We tend to begin the New Year with resolutions, proclamations, and prayers. My usual pray more, eat less, blah, blah, blah, makes me mindful of what is possible in 2015. I’m all for looking forward to new and better, yet I do think it’s wise to reflect on the things in last year I amContinue reading “One Last Look…”
Burning Bush!
And the Angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. So he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, but the bush [was] not consumed. Then Moses said, “I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does notContinue reading “Burning Bush!”
