By Norine Rae – Summer is here along with the beautiful species of flowers, bushes, and trees offering spectacular splashes of colors that we so love and appreciate about this time of year. Yet with all this flourishing and growth there is the work that comes with trying to keep
Perception! How do you perceive yourself? Do you see yourself as God sees you? Or do you see yourself as a grasshopper? If you read the last post, you were challenged to look at things through God’s eyes. If you see yourself as He does, so will others. Your perception
By Karen DeArmond-Gardner— Dust swirled in the air as I hurried into the women’s courtyard of the Temple hoping to catch a glimpse of the man I heard so much about. As I turned the corner I found him teaching to a crowd. I stood at a distance so I
By Rita Schulte – I’m a control freak. How about you? The problem is I never realized it. I thought control freaks were the strong dominant type who demanded, manipulated others, and expected A + B to always = C, as long as they were in charge. The problem with
By Claire Vorster – ‘Sincerity means that the appearance and the reality are exactly the same.’ Oswald Chambers, a teacher of rare insight and expression whose work only became widely known after his death at the age of 43 Do you ever wish that you were better appreciated? There are days
By Margaret-Ann Howie – “Consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim liberty throughout the land… It shall be a jubilee for you. For it is a jubilee and is to be holy for you.” Leviticus 25:10-11 Scripture tell us that in the fiftieth year, God commanded that each person was to
Wait, if necessary, and read this blog when you have some time to be still and think. This isn’t a quick, light read. I like to do those type of blogs, but sometimes it’s important to take a little more time and think a little deeper. That is the purpose
Remember Robert Browning’s poem “Grow old along with me! The best is yet to be. The last of life, for which the first was made: our times are in His hand Who saith, k”A whole I planned, shows but half; trust God: see all, nor be afraid.” How do you
“I have been young and now am old and have not seen His righteous forsaken nor His seed beg for bread.” ~ Psalm 37:25 ~ “Worry compromises your joy, cramps your peace and confines your freedom.” ~ June Hunt ~ “Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something
This week, I have that caterpillar-in-a-cocoon feeling again, where I just want to pull the blanket of my family close about me. What I thought was a pulled muscle – for a whole year – from exercising is really a gallbladder just dying to come out. That’s happening at the
I saw two books. The first book was closed and the next book was open. The Lord said, “This is not just a new season, or a turning of a page in your life. It is not just a new chapter. I have closed the old and have opened the
In our world of busyness and myriad responsibilities, sometimes the chatter in our heads (calling a customer, sending out emails, needing to fill the tank, or remembering a grandchild’s concert), is about everything but what it should be. Not that these things aren’t important, but when we consider the limited
“But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.” Genesis 19:26 If you ever feel like this world is getting more depraved, more unrighteous, and more evil every day, then you know how Lot felt when he was living in Sodom. So how did Lot get to

My period of Grace was this month, this May. Sort of. Most of May has been spent enjoying the farm, the animals; re-arranging portions of the house, doing farm chores and, simply, living. Blogging has taken a back seat for no particular reason other than my brain needed a rest.
In March, we transplanted one butterfly bush that turned into two, one beautiful blue hydrangea, a knock-out rose bush – not to mention a trunk full of thinned out gifts from my aunt: yellow, white, purple, yellow with purple irises, yellow evening primroses, some little red/pink ground cover, bergamot and
