I haven’t posted for awhile. I have been getting ready to go back to school. My kids started 3rd and 5th grades. Where did the time go? When we moved here 5 years ago, my son was starting half day kindergarten and my daughter was starting preschool for a few hours a week. So much… Continue reading God Changes Hearts and Minds
God Will Never Fail Us
This morning I read Galatians. It was written around 50 A.D., which is 1,970 years ago. The prayer could have been written today. God is eternal. God’s goodness reigns over heaven and earth. Our troubles and worries go from generation to generation. We dress differently and technology changes, but evil continues to lurk around earth.… Continue reading God Will Never Fail Us
The Lord Knows Those Who Are His
I have been reflecting on the last year. Honestly, it is like a sad little party. Last August, my mom was diagnosed with a brian tumor and died on Christmas Day. My father had died 5 years earlier on Christmas Eve. Lately, I have been feeling anxious and overwhelmed. I have every right to mourn… Continue reading The Lord Knows Those Who Are His
God Wants Our Hearts
God can select the most unlikely people to do his good works. I am always fascinated by Saul (Paul) in the bible. Saul was a Pharisee. A Pharisee is defined as a member of an ancient Jewish sect, distinguished by strict observance of the traditional and written law. Saul was persecuting Christians. Why? It seems… Continue reading God Wants Our Hearts
We Can’t Hide From God
Sometimes you pray, knowing that God will answer your prayer in his perfect timing. The answer may be yes, no or not yet. Or, God may have something better for you. While you wait for the answer, it is easy to doubt yourself. Am I not faithful enough? Have I done something wrong? I am… Continue reading We Can’t Hide From God
I Am Not Ashamed of the Gospel of Christ
About 6 years ago, people were putting the mark of Nazarene on their social media profile pictures. The Islamic State (ISIS) marked homes and businesses owned by Christians with a red, painted ن. This letter of the Arabic alphabet is equivalent to the Roman letter N. The ن stands for Nazarenes, an Arabic word for Christians.… Continue reading I Am Not Ashamed of the Gospel of Christ
Trust in God’s Timing
This morning it is raining in Virginia. It started raining last night, as the sky rumbled and growled. Hurricane Isaias is making its way down the coast. Surrounding areas are getting high winds, flooding and tornados. 2020 has been a doozy. Do you wonder when the Coronavirus Pandemic will end? When will we go back… Continue reading Trust in God’s Timing

This year has been very difficult for many people. People are losing their jobs. Small business are struggling to stay open. Parents are facing tough decisions, as schools go virtual, making two income families wonder how they will get through this year. Many people are wondering how they will pay their bills, and if they… Continue reading My Help Comes From The Lord
Rooted In Jesus
When you plan for the future, do you always pray about it first? I try. Sometimes, I realize that I am making plans without asking God first or praying about it. My mind starts wondering and dreaming, and I forget to stop and ask God, is this what you want me to do? When our… Continue reading Rooted In Jesus
Keep Trying
On those days when the world seems to be spinning out of control, hang in there and keep on trying. Lately, I have to pray a little more. I feel like the world is shouting and jumping up and down all around me. Being immersed in social media feeds, certainly does not help me. I… Continue reading Keep Trying
