A boy wanted to be a doctor. As a child his parents gave him a toy doctor kit and he would hold the plastic stethoscope to the chest of stuffed animals and give pretend shots to anyone who would allow him to put the plastic syringe to their arm. As he grew he would […]

My fathers side of the family is recognized by “the chin.” Most of my cousins have inherited this feature, including myself. When my children were babies they looked like their father. As they grew they developed some of my features; big eyes and dimples. Mostly, they took on my mannerisms, no doubt because of my […]
It’s a mission field out there!

I wish I had something profound or witty to write. I sit at my laptop and stare… It is not that I don’t have thoughts, but I am finding it difficult to convey them. Perhaps the thoughts are meant for me alone? Maybe God is showing me something and I need to wait for Him […]

This morning I was challenged through a devotional by Oswald Chambers. The title of this day’s devotion was: Is He Really My Lord? How is that for a point blank question?

Sometimes people come into your life and you love them… but, they don’t don’t. Sometimes you see what could be… but, they can’t. And you are tempted to hold on a little longer, wait and see, because it is hard to let go. But, there comes a time when you have to just listen and […]

Click HERE to listen while you read this Therefore there is now no condemnation [no guilty verdict, no punishment] for those who are in Christ Jesus [who believe in Him as personal Lord and Savior]. For the law of the Spirit of life [which is] in Christ Jesus [the law of our new being] has […]

Pesky distractions, we have all been guilty of this at times, huh. We set our mind to something and we promise ourselves we are gong to be productive… tomorrow. Then tomorrow comes and there is that distraction that seems so important at the time. I mean, come on now, we all know the world […]
