Barrack Hussein Obama promised to "fundamentally change America." I wonder if what is going on is what even he had in mind in 'changing' our country. I wonder if he (along with others) created a monster and now it's out of control. They succeeded in disrupting our education system; they crashed the economy; they brought … Continue reading Stay Free
Saved Together
This past week I have been discouraged. Along with personal discouragements, I'm tired of the constant barrage of "bad news" around the world from the pandemic to the protesters to the riots. Conflicting reports of what happens, who said what, predictions of both good and bad in the economy. It's been getting to me. But … Continue reading Saved Together
Blackberry Winter
The days have once again turned cool, and there's a chill in the air, but it's spring! Growing up my grandparents and parents called this time in late May or early June when the air turned cool 'blackberry winter.' I remember them saying “it makes the blackberry blooms set.” Whether that is fact or folklore, … Continue reading Blackberry Winter
Blessings
Sometimes blessings don't always look like a blessing when they come. In fact, they may look like more trouble, more inconvenience, another circumstance to fret and worry over. I read a story about a lady in the mission field. It was in a remote area, and they were dependent on a regularly scheduled supply delivery. … Continue reading Blessings
ONE
In a recent conversation with two pastors, they shared the following: "I really think we as Christians need to start fervently admonishing & teaching away from the term “race.” There is one race...the human race. There are many variations thereof but only one race: the human race. Jesus died for every person in the human … Continue reading ONE
Homesick
In this time of “stay-at-home” policies, we are certainly not getting homesick. Actually, many are sick of staying home, and finally are starting to get out and attempt to resume some “normal” activities. They say 'home is where the heart is' and 'home is where you hang your hat' and 'home sweet home' and 'there's … Continue reading Homesick
No Greater Love
No greater love has any one than to lay down their life for a friend.
Let It Begin With Me
"Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me." Let me resist being bitter or angry when I am wronged. When I am humiliated, let me not be vengeful. When I am criticized, let me not be proud and arrogant. When I lose what is dear to me by violence, let me … Continue reading Let It Begin With Me
Rend your Hearts, Not your Garments
A second wave of locusts hit East Africa in April that is said to be 20 times worse than the first wave that started in February. Described as a locust plague of “Biblical proportions” farmland has been swept clean as the insects literally eat all green vegetation in their path. And now they are dealing … Continue reading Rend your Hearts, Not your Garments
God Uses Tech, Too
If you're an Apple device user, you are familiar with Siri - the "AI" (artificial intelligence) app on any Apple device that does just about any thing you ask of "her" (the voice is a woman's voice). I don't use it, but I have watched my kids and grandkids ask Siri things like "who is … Continue reading God Uses Tech, Too
