So Privileged
My heart goes out to so many in this world who have lost their homes, their security, their families, and their peace. It makes me even more grateful to live in America where we are so privileged while in other areas of the world, so many are under-privileged. Lord, please come to their aid. Lord,…
Goodnight, Sun
Aw! A most magnificent sunset in beautiful Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Staci and Larry, my daughter and husband, recommended eating at the Bistro Blue restaurant where the food is delicious AND “if you get there in time (6:30-ish) you’ll be amazed at the most breathtaking view of sunset.” Their advice didn’t disappoint. A sight to behold!…
Honey in the Rock
In yesterday’s blog, I spoke about the natural craving we should have for God’s Word – like a baby craves his mama’s milk. His mama’s milk gives him the sustenance and nutrition he needs for life. How beautiful — God’s built-in mechanism for satisfying hunger. And as we crave God’s Word, we receive the sustenance…
Got Milk?
Remember the “Got Milk?” commercials where a well-known celebrity was proud to admit they drank milk by revealing their milk moustache? The commercial encouraged milk consumption and the campaign was credited for upping milk sales by highlighting the benefits of milk. As we flew to Puerto Vallarta yesterday, this baby was just across the aisle…
Are You Contented?
I’d like you to believe that “I have learned, in whatsoever state I am in, to be content.” (Philippians 4:11) That means we are satisfied with the life or situation we are in. But those are Paul the Apostle’s words – not mine. I’ll admit I can find myself less than contented. Today my sweetheart…
Medicine to Heal What Ails Us
Oh, how I wanted to be my friend, the Class Clown. She could make any situation funny, without even trying. She was my roommate, Lois, at Canyonville Bible Academy in Oregon. She always had me, and others, in stitches. Now, I have a husband who is like that, too! BTW – please forgive me for…
Finding Help in the Horrible
I have a dear friend whose 38-year-old son died suddenly a couple of weeks ago. Adequate words to give my friend seemed weak and unsubstantial. This Israel-Hamas War is incredibly awful. The loss of so many lives, so many hurting people, so much tragedy. Oh, that we had words that could help. As we grasp…
This is How We Fight Our Battles
After posting my blog yesterday, I quickly googled “Israel-Hamas War”. Fox News reported that the first plane from America, carrying U.S. ammunition, landed in Israel Tuesday night. President Biden called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday, in the immediate wake of Hamas’ attack, to emphasize our country’s continued support for Israel as the country…
Here’s How We Retaliate
As my readers know, I am a sunny skies, rainbows-after-rain, kind-of-writer, but it seems irreverent to not acknowledge the dark clouds that blew in when we heard about the unconscionable loss of lives in this diabolical war. My heart cries out “Judge them, oh Lord!” What was Jesus thinking when He said, in Matthew 5:44,…
Praying for the Peace of Israel
I am not the typical news-watcher for daily worldwide updates. So, I was stunned when I heard our pastor in a most heart-wrenching way, express his dismay over the attacks in Israel by the Hamas regime on Sunday. My heart aches for Israel as I watched the news about the worst attack on civilians in…
