The service had already started when two men helped him through the side door. The old man’s legs did not seem to want work on that cold Sunday morning as they half-carried him toward the front. We all kept singing, but tears filled my eyes as I watched him stumble as he tried to willContinue reading “As he raised his hands, I cried.”

I sang loudly and it was glorious!
I’m not sure how it happened. For as far as I could see the beach was empty except for a tiny dot of a few people walking far ahead of me. I happily turned up my praise music as the wind blew and the waves rushed against my toes. Birds ran along the sand, andContinue reading “I sang loudly and it was glorious!”
Happy Thanksgiving friends!
Oh that moment, I walk in the door at my parents’ home. Turkey cooking. Dressing baking. The aroma of delicious anticipation floating through the house. I want it to last forever. There’s something so wonderful about slowing down and savoring our blessings. Though our earthly blessings are fleeting, there are hints of heaven in everyContinue reading “Happy Thanksgiving friends!”
Hard days, still, may our lips never cease to PRAISE!
“Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen” (1 Tim 1:17) As Paul wrote those words in his letter to Timothy, I wonder if he sat his pen down, lifted his hands to heaven and was overcome with praise to the Lord?Continue reading “Hard days, still, may our lips never cease to PRAISE!”
Hold on! One day this mourning will be turned into DANCING!
Just a little over a week ago, my husband held me and we danced. What a blessing it was. But, I have cried lately too—about Afghanistan, about a friend’s little daughter dying of cancer, and other friends who have lost loved ones to this pandemic. I have spoken with many others dealing with hard, stressfulContinue reading “Hold on! One day this mourning will be turned into DANCING!”
My busy, distracted heart longs to see Jesus
It’s Holy Week. Palm Sunday’s church songs are growing faint in our ears. We find ourselves busy and distracted. But my busy, distracted heart longs to see Jesus. We long to behold the glory of the One who died for us. When I slow down and turn my eyes to Him, I stand in aweContinue reading “My busy, distracted heart longs to see Jesus”
These words should be our words
“I have fought the good fight.I have finished the race.I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing”. (2 Tim 4:7-8)Continue reading “These words should be our words”

Stop for a moment…
“Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen” (1 Tim 1:17) As Paul wrote those words in his letter to Timothy, I wonder if he sat his pen down, lifted his hands to heaven and was overcome with praise to the Lord?Continue reading “Stop for a moment…”
Even in this
I originally shared this several years ago, but felt led to share it again for myself, and maybe for someone else who stumbles across it today. I still live in the same town where my first husband took his life. My life still takes me to the place where the detectives told me they hadContinue reading “Even in this”
Need some JOY?
I wish I could call Karen. I’d love to sit with her on her couch, open our Bibles, and pray as we did so many times over the years. Joy just oozed out of that precious woman. It truly did, and even as she lay dying. She was my friend and my mentor. I loveContinue reading “Need some JOY?”
Be deliberate about this
Nine things. Normally by November 9th, I would have listed nine blessings I’m thankful for. But 2020 has been hard. But the truth is, those things I would’ve listed are still with me today. I’m still incredibly blessed. Yes, 2020 has been difficult and the election, and our country, doesn’t seem to be going theContinue reading “Be deliberate about this”
Let’s take a pause…
As I study the prophecy of Daniel, I’m reminded that the great theologian, John Calvin, said Martin Luther is “indulging his thoughts too freely” when referring to the AntiChrist in Daniel. And I’m sitting here, thinking why did I pick Daniel to study and share? I don’t want to indulge my thoughts too freely. DanielContinue reading “Let’s take a pause…”
Do you see Him?
The king is enraged, crazy, and orders the wise men throughout Babylon slaughtered because no one could tell him his dream and what it meant. (Dan 2) But Daniel is calm. His life and the lives of his friends are threatened, and Daniel is peaceful. He seeks counsel and wisdom. Then, Daniel bravely goes inContinue reading “Do you see Him?”
