I'm not a doctor, nurse, EMT, CNA, scientist, medical professional, etc., etc. (little disclaimer here) BUT I do believe COVID is very serious, especially for those of us who have those health issues called "comorbidities." (Even the term sounds ominous.) Some of us have little doubt if we catch COVID, we're probably goners. I don't … Continue reading Inflated Data
Waiting In Faith
The weather in the Midwest is just like it is in much of the rest of the country - frigid and snowy! That even tends to be an understatement. So with the COVID restrictions and guidelines that force us to stay inside, I guess we should be use to it by now? Nah, not so … Continue reading Waiting In Faith
How Do You Smell?
I knew a man who was brought up in a time when people in the rural areas hunted, trapped, and fished to put meat on the table. And along with that pelts were sold that brought in extra money as well. He knew a lot about wildlife, and that from first-hand experience. One thing he … Continue reading How Do You Smell?
Joyful, Patient, Faithful
A devotion recently told the story of a king who always went hunting with his best friend. It was his friend's duty to prepare the gun the king used. They never hunted just for pleasure, but to replenish the pantry of the kings house as well as his friends. His best friend was always looking … Continue reading Joyful, Patient, Faithful
The Way of Holiness
"All roads lead to Rome." "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions." "You take the high road, and I'll take the low road (and I'll be in Scotland afore ye)." "Where the rubber meets the road." "The road less traveled...." "Get this show on the road." "Wide spot in the road." "One for … Continue reading The Way of Holiness
One At A Time
I will be the first to admit I get caught up in things political. Probably too much so. While I believe we as believers have a responsibility to engage in the politics of our country, we have a greater responsibility to further the Gospel of Jesus as citizens of His Kingdom. A devotion from Worthy … Continue reading One At A Time
Ice Lessons
The sun shining on the trees covered with ice makes them look like the branches are made of glass. The picture doesn't do it justice, but the ice reflects the sun and sparkles with points of light all over it. I considered a couple of things as I watched this tree out our patio door. … Continue reading Ice Lessons
Comorbidity
Comorbidity. It’s a word that sounds… uncomfortable! It’s one of the words with which we have become more familiar in the pandemic, along with ‘social distancing’ and ‘quarantine’ and ‘corona virus.’ Comorbidity, basically, is the term used for preexisting conditions, ones that increase the chance of death in combination with another disease. We have been … Continue reading Comorbidity
His Day IS Coming!
In 1861 Julia Ward Howe, wife of a government official, wrote a poem for Atlantic Monthly for five dollars. The magazine called it, Battle Hymn of the Republic. The music may be by William Steffe. Mine eyes have seen the glory Of the coming of the Lord; He is trampling out the vintage Where the … Continue reading His Day IS Coming!
Heaven is NOT Shaken
From Tony Perkins, Family Research Council: This country has seen some dark days. There have been moments of unbelievable despair, like we witnessed at the Capitol, when everything seems to come apart at the seams. Those are the hours when the hopelessness we see looks nothing like the nation we thought we knew. Yet, in … Continue reading Heaven is NOT Shaken
