  • The Disciples Knew

    I just read this morning John’s brief letter of 2 John…To the lady chosen by God and to her children, whom I love in the truth – and not I only, but also all who know the truth – because of the truth, which lives in us and will be with us forever. Grace, mercy…

  • Dance!

    Today in the United States is Father’s Day…and I can’t help but sing for joy for our Father in Heaven! I love this first sentence in Jesus Calling today…I am the firm foundation on which you can dance and sing and celebrate my Presence. I realized in prayer this morning that my love for Him…

  • Revelation Living In Us

    I just finished rewatching the Open Table Conference Zoom discussion of Revelation Chapter 11. John Behr led the discussion and it was amazing especially with the Zoom panel opened up to add to the understanding. There is no way I can do justice to the Chapter but I can share the discussions I found so…

  • God Is Love

    A beautiful life-giving truth. Do we see much love in the world today? I used to wonder at Jesus’ words about the narrow gate. Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow…

  • What Is Our Part?

    Whenever I share in a Blog or on Facebook a need and desire to trust God, I can almost hear, “that’s all well and good but in the real world…” or, “that’s a pretty picture but that’s not reality.” How do you share the reality that we can trust God in all things? There are…

  • Present

    This morning in our Friday Morning Prayer Group, we were reminded of this passage in The Message (MSG) translation: Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with…

  • Freedom

    Yesterday was a day of learning. I love those days when what I am learning from God goes deep. Concern for one of our adult kids and grandkids started building and turning into worry that left me feeling overwhelmed and helpless. Does worry for your kids do that to you? They are capable adults and…

  • Do You Want To Know God?

    In talking with people I love and care about I’ve listened to gently spoken doubts about God….I’m not sure I believe….how could Jesus be human if God can’t sin?…Also, in relation to the world we live in now the inability to listen to people…I don’t watch the news…I can’t believe anything they say… I think…

  • Do You Have Special Plans

    It’s so easy to get excited by the plans we make for the summer…for our vacations, our careers, our schooling, our grandkids. Do we take the time to make plans for our future with God? Do you ever allow yourself to wonder if what the Bible says is true? Above all, you must understand that…

  • If God Did Not Spare

    This morning I was reading in 2 Peter 2. Peter was warning the brethren that God judges and will judge everyone according to what they have done. He didn’t spare the ancient world from the flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, angels who sinned. If this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly…
