About a week ago, as I write this blog, marks the longest I’ve been out of our home in almost 4 months. I spent the day in a waiting room waiting for my husband to come out of surgery. As I sat there in the waiting room, listening to the constant news blasting from the TV screen, I looked around the room and I saw printed paper signs taped onto the backs of the chairs, over half of them. “Do not sit in this chair due to social distancing, “ I watched the receptionist and workers as they swarmed like busy masked bees. The counter where the typical complimentary snacks…

“but the worries of this age, the seduction of wealth, and the desires for other things enter in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.”Mark 4:19 HCSB As we’re all living in this new 2020 way of living, I listen and watch around me. In this age of being forced to immerse into social media and be active in an electronic way of life, I hear voices of fear, anxiety, hopelessness, and despair. I also hear voices of love, encouragement, hope, and promise. These voices that are screaming from our computers, tablets, phones, and televisions are confusing at the best. The news media has lost its respect and trust.…

“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your graciousness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses every thought, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:4-7 HCSB Last month I wrote about the scary world we live in. Today, as I write this, marks 34 days we’ve personally been self-quarantined because of the Pandemic. We’ve been more fortunate than most. We live on the same property as our son’s family. My husband is…

“For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” Philippians 1:21 KJV I remember years ago, a couple of years after I accepted Christ as my savior, I had a dream. I had a dream that Jesus was coming back to take us, His children, home. In my dream I told God I wasn’t ready yet. I said I had so much I wanted to do. Immediately I woke up in a sweat, terrified more than I had ever been by any nightmare. That was over 35 years ago.Three years ago the car accident that threatened to take my life taught me some valuable lessons. As I…

“Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my meditation. Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto thee will I pray. My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up. For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee. The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity. Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the Lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man. But as for me, I will come into thy house in…

 We’re well into the year 2020. How have your resolutions been coming along? Here’s a recap of mine: Prayer Life: Write in my prayer journal.               I’ve been writing more in my prayer journal, and I love it. I’m not writing daily, but I really enjoy the freedom of writing my thoughts and prayers and then reading them at a later date. Very inspiring and encouraging for me. It’s a growing experience I enjoy.  Bible reading: Start a Historical Bible plan.  I started this plan, but then my sister-in-law invited me to participate in another Year Bible Plan. I accepted and found that I really enjoy the study. I put…

“She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.” Proverbs 31:26 Another year ends! Another Decade begins! Time for taking a deep breath of new fresh air! Time to start new! Time to do that thing that’s continuously been put off until tomorrow. Tomorrow is the day! 2020! We do make such a fuss about new year resolutions! We make huge promises to ourselves and others. It’s said that most new year resolutions fizzle out. Don’t let that be a discouragement. Everyday is a great day to make a new resolution. We should strive everyday to be better, make a needed change, try something…

December 25, 2019 “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Matthew 6:9-13 Merry Christmas Everyone!

A gift of a simple prayer model from the Messiah Himself!  Yes the birthday we celebrate today is the Son Of The Most High God! The Messiah’s birth! No matter what the…

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Matthew 6:13 There are so many temptations around us every day. Some are stronger than others. Some bother us and some don’t. Temptations come in waves, crashing against us, wearing us down.  This is yet another reason to keep our eyes on Christ our savior! (The reasons are endless)  As I’ve mentioned in many of my blogs, evil is strong. Stronger than any human, except, Jesus. (Who is God in human form) Some say evil did get to Jesus in the end, and yes evil thought it won when the evil killed Gods Son. But no! Jesus rose from…
