Placing our Treasures in God’s Mighty Hands
I am being nostalgic as my youngest grandchild, Bryson, is embarking on his last year of high school. I wrote this text message to my son and daughter: “Good morning my loves. Sweet mama, I can imagine how you’re feeling as your last child and my last grandchild is heading out to his last high…
The Pursuit of God
That’s my blog title as well as my greatest desire — to be in pursuit of God. That means I purpose to follow, run after, chase Him, and even catch Him and His unchanging, loving, caring and peace-filled ways. A. W. Tozer’s “The Pursuit of God” is a classic Christian devotional book written in 1948.…
May the 4th Be With You
Happy 4th Sunday of Advent and Happy Christmas Eve! We can join many others who will attend church today to breathe in what all this decorating, baking, shopping, partying, and having family and friend get togethers has been all about. It is unusual for Christmas Eve to fall on a Sunday. We are making the…
Never will I Leave You or Forsake You
That title conjures up fond memories of promises made by a parent, a close friend, a boyfriend or girlfriend or a spouse that they would never leave or forsake me. But, they didn’t/couldn’t keep their promise. Every one of those relationships DID leave me. Aw! But I CAN guarantee that there is ONE Who keeps…
They are Looney Tunes
Remember those wacky, wild, half-witted Looney Tunes characters? We laughed at their shenanigans. Today those Looney Tunes have been replaced with high tech animation that look like real people.

Bear Grylls and His Great Faith Adventure
Like me, maybe you are a fan of Bear Grylls and his MAN VS. WILD show. I saw this article on the “Movieguide” email that I receive daily. Put the word “faith” in a headline and I am the curiosity seeker to find out if the source is true blue! BEAR GRYLLS has become known…
A Striking Resemblance
People often say my daughter resembles me and my granddaughter resembles her, and I resemble my mother. It’s undeniable – we were all cast from the same mold. My son is undeniably, His dad’s son. They resemble each other. While I love that compliment “Your daughter and granddaughter certainly look like you” – most importantly…
The Green-Eyed Monster
Do you ever think…..”She is so holy; he is so dedicated to prayer; they are always in such a good mood; they are so filled with God’s Spirit that they light up a room, etc.” I’ll admit that I think those thoughts – especially when a gal shared her testimony this week at our prayer…
I Will — With All My Heart
Many years ago, I stood at an altar as Rev. Herbert Wuerch said these words: “Will you love him all the days of your life?” That was a serious question and as a young bride, I had no idea the journey that would be ahead. I would be replying to not just my soon-to-be father-in-law…
