We are living in unusual times. Our church opened up yesterday. Of course, it is different. People had to sit at least 6 feet apart, and they had to wear masks, except for the singing. Kids under 10 are not allowed in the sanctuary, so we still have to watch services online. Church is a… Continue reading Every Nation, Tribe, Tongue, and People Will Be Singing God’s Praises Together

We Are Not of the World
The Coronavirus has certainly turned our lives topsy turvy! Even though we are entering Phase 2 on Friday, we are not going back to normal anytime soon, if ever. Today in Virginia, we heard an update on schools and sports for the Fall. Some are on, some are off. Schools plan to practice social distance… Continue reading We Are Not of the World
The Lord Directs Our Hearts
Our school system is unsure how the Fall school year will look. It may be virtual. It may be in person learning, with masks, and social distancing. It may be a combination. We will find out more this week. With the uncertainty of how school will look in the Fall, I have seen a wide… Continue reading The Lord Directs Our Hearts
Miracles Right In Front Of Us
During this quarantine, I have missed going to church. I miss the singing the most. The instruments and songs of praise echo throughout the church. I can feel the Holy Spirit fill my heart with peace, gratitude and joy. It is the best, most satisfying feeling in the world. After I leave church, the songs… Continue reading Miracles Right In Front Of Us
Mighty Wonders
This morning I was feeling disappointed. Life didn’t go the way that I wanted it to yesterday. Does that mean that what I want will never happen? I read the bible this morning, and I read about Daniel and his friends pure faith. Daniel’s friends walked through fire, because they believed in God. They believed… Continue reading Mighty Wonders
The Truth Shall Make You Free

At first I wondered, if I was being honest with myself. Am I lying to myself? Maybe I… Continue reading The Truth Shall Make You Free
Father, Forgive Them, For They Do Not Know What They Do
Good afternoon. Easter Sunday is a few days away. Last Easter, my daughter had the flu, so we stayed home, so we didn't get anyone else sick. This year, it is a government COVID mandate to stay home, so we don't get others sick. Lately, I have been thinking about how people would mock me… Continue reading Father, Forgive Them, For They Do Not Know What They Do
No One Knows the Day or Hour
This morning, I received a phone call from the school. Schools are closed today through next week, because of precautions to protect us from the Cornonavirus. I thought this would happen, but I didn't think it would happen so soon. How can something expected catch me off guard? I know Jesus will come back to… Continue reading No One Knows the Day or Hour
Covered By God’s Grace
Good Afternoon! This week has been full of news. Yesterday was Super Tuesday. I went to Costco on Monday, and I was surprised at what I didn't see. There was no toilet paper. I thought they moved the location. Nope. I heard somebody ask, and they were sold out until Wednesday (today). Fears over the… Continue reading Covered By God’s Grace
I Pray That You Prosper In All Things
Good morning! I am trying to back to my routine after having yesterday off for President's Day. This morning, I heard the best news. A friend from church was worried that her cancer was returning, but the tests came back with no signs of cancer. This news made me happy and jolted me out of… Continue reading I Pray That You Prosper In All Things
