By Peggy W. Lester – I kept having a strong sense in my spirit to purchase a pair of magnifying glasses for myself to carry on this mission trip in August of 2006. Now, I do wear prescription glasses and if something were to happen to them I would not
By Olga Hermans – There are seven types of prayer in the Bible, which we should be exercising on a regular basis. They are simple and can be prayed anywhere at any time; especially when they come from a believing heart. You see, most people use the same kind of
By Deborah H. Bateman – What does passion mean to you? Passion to me is a strong desire for something. Passion is a longing in your heart, soul, and body for something or someone. What are you passionate about? What drives you? What are you zealous for? What would you
All sunny skies would be too bright, All morning hours mean too much light, All laughing days too gay a strain; There must be clouds, and night, and rain, And shut-in days, to make us see The beauty of life’s tapestry. Today I’m pausing to remember my best friend who
Yesterday morning, Gracie went to join Abbie and Dave. Gracie was much older than Abbie and, frankly, it surprised me when Abbie went first. Gracie had been diagnosed with a possible tumor in her nasal cavity but, with meds, she seemed to be enjoying life. Over the weekend, she seemed
I walked out to the garden this morning, noticing from a distance the drooping flowers and tomato plants. I wasn’t feeling too well yesterday (this sinus-ear-upper respiratory thing still hangs on) so I didn’t make it out to the back forty with the watering hose. In normal years that would
It feels so refreshing to sit back, catch our breath and savor a cup of tea with you. “Meme,” (as my grand kids call me) “If you HAD to choose, would you rather be attacked by sharks in a fierce ocean ORRRR would you rather have your fingernails pulled out
It’s said when cattle, or any other livestock, continue to graze in the pouring rain, the rain is here to stay. Knowing there are those in the USA who would give years off their lives for rain, I hesitate to say this…but, we’ve had about two inches of rain every
One of the things I love most about my local thrift stores is how reasonably they sell books. I love books, don’t you? I can’t seem to resist them, though I’ve been trying to show restraint as I seem to have amassed quite a collection! One of my recent purchases
School starts today – a senior, 8th grader and 6th grader – 3 still in the nest, 2 out – a snug balance that will change come next May. I’m not quite ready for this school year, but I am being swept into it regardless of whether I am ready
He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither… Psalm 1:3 The drought continues in our part of the world with more serious consequences showing up every day… wells going dry, fish dying as the rivers
“You will be secure because there is hope; you will look about you and take your rest in safety. You will lie down with no one to make you afraid and many will court your favor.” ~ Job 11: 18-19 ~ “There is neither happiness nor misery in the world;
The dribble of issues I faced last week have become a flood. News is still pending regarding my job interview for a non-temp position with full benefits. Those are precious commodities when you don’t have them. Then, my dad’s prostate cancer biopsy was yesterday, coupled with the news my mother
“Give me just one drink,” I pleaded with my little sister who had patiently nursed her soda pop as we rode down the road. As children, we never had these “soft drinks” in our home, (we were a Kool-Aid family) and the only time we had the opportunity to drink
I used to tell Dave, “I’m trying” and he’d reply, “You certainly are trying!” One of our little verbal games…that I miss. Generally, when we’d go to church, we’d invariably be late. Not by much, just a minute or two, but late nonetheless. Today was no exception. I was flying
Do you have a mission statement? A life mission statement? Isaiah had a mission statement (this is just one of his): “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up
After my last four articles, I can hear some saying, “Ok, I’ve got a vision, I’ve taken the first step, I’ve even done a self check-up to make sure I’m not blocking my breakthrough but how do I know that I can actually accomplish this BIG vision God has placed
“Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth.” Proverbs 10:4 Don’t you just love lounging around in the summertime? I do. I enjoy laying in my hammock, watching the puffy clouds float by. I love closing my eyes and feeling the breeze blow over me, listening to
Not every morning is calm, drinking a cup of tea, listening to the birds and feeling everything is going our way. Sometimes we receive news that is not in our plans and causes us to get distressed. How do we handle it? If I put myself into Naomi’s place in
My son, when he was little, had trouble settling down for bed. It wasn’t so much energy oozing externally, propelling him from bed. It was all about how to still his mind to sleep. It was the thinking, the ideas needing to be expressed – from his eyes, to his
