When Hopes Sift Like Sand Through the Fingers

It happens and it hurts.  We all have enemies we can count on to disappoint us each time.  We learn over a period of time to not trust them.  After a while we just expect it and it no longer hurts.  What about our friends? A friend or ally is the only person who can...

There are many examples in the Bible that refer to Christ as our solid rock.  On this earth there are rocks all around and they are not easily destroyed.  In the United States there is an entire mountain made of stone.  It has been there for hundreds of years and no...

Lord, I’m Moving In

by | June 26, 2015 | Salvation | 0 Comments

Here I am and I want to stay.  Thank you that You never turn me away.  All I bring with me is a suitcase full of things I no longer need.  I am unpacking my jealousy because You want me to be my best and not my neighbor’s rival of their best.  I am unpacking my mind’s...

There are many examples in the Bible that refer to Christ as our solid rock.  On this earth there are rocks all around and they are not easily destroyed.  In the United States there is an entire mountain made of stone.  It has been there for hundreds of years and no damage is ever done.  It withstands harsh winters with snow and sleet and hot summers with heat.  People visit that mountain every day and walk to the top.  People stomp with their feet, cast small stones, kick, climb, run and even...

Here I am and I want to stay.  Thank you that You never turn me away.  All I bring with me is a suitcase full of things I no longer need.  I am unpacking my jealousy because You want me to be my best and not my neighbor’s rival of their best.  I am unpacking my mind’s lack of belief.  Lord, I believe with all my heart but my mind sees and tells me the opposite of what You do.  I really don’t need this in my suitcase anymore.  I am also unpacking my demands to have my own way because I mess it...

God Greatly Rewards Obedience

by | June 28, 2015 | Salvation | 0 Comments

Sometimes obedience means standing alone against what is popular. Losing a job, position in a group or friends is sad but once God fixes everything up, the respect from these same people is priceless. God knows exactly the right timing and circumstance to bring about His answers where we know only God could have arranged something so beautiful. Hebrews 5:7-9 While Jesus was here on earth, He offered prayers and pleadings, with a loud cry and tears, to the One Who could rescue Him from death....

Life Beyond The Cellphone

by | Nov 15, 2019 |

While we are walking and texting a door slams in the face of an elderly man right behind us.  As we talk loudly on our phone while waiting in line a cashier is trying to get our attention to let us know a new line just opened up.  We wait at a red light focused on...

The Pain Of Being Forgotten

by | Oct 25, 2019 |

Let’s face it, discrimination is alive and well on the planet earth.  However we often think it will never happen to us as children of God.  It’s easy to assume that acceptance is a given when we stay prayed up and read our Bibles but it’s just the opposite.  The...
