  • 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…

  • When You Are Weary

    I was reading this morning in Jesus Calling and this Scripture from Proverbs 4:11,12 gave comfort. I will instruct you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered; when you run, you will not stumble. From Hearing God: For the Lord gives wisdom,…

  • A Gift Most Wonderful

    In taking God’s hand and walking with Him I am learning ever so gently to trust Him in all things. His calm love is my anchor. Psalm 139: You have searched me, Lord and you know me. Do you know anyone who knows you so intimately that there is nothing to hide, nothing to fear,…

  • What God Knows Is Best

    Yesterday at Church, our Pastor talked about Pentecost – 50 days after the Resurrection of Jesus. In ancient Israel it was the Festival of Harvest. Pentecost was when the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples…a spiritual harvest. When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like a…

  • Maps

    I was reading 1 Peter 1 this morning. All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fail, but the word of the Lord endures forever. 1 Peter 24-25 (Isaiah 40:6-8). As I was reading the introduction to 1 Peter I couldn’t…

  • Is God Arbitrary?

    I just finished rewatching the recorded Revelation Series, Chapter 10, presented by Open Table Conference. I especially loved after the presentation, the Zoom floor was opened for all the panelists to comment and add their questions/understanding. It’s truly wonderful to be able to listen as people dedicated to learning about God and sharing that understanding…
