Ecclesiastes 2:11 “Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun.” I find it interesting that time is … Continue reading
FLAMES OF PROTEST
Burning in the night – a blazing image of protest. Flames lick the sky as people chant and cry. Voices screaming for vengeance – hearts broken. A life lost – another saved – an angry crowd. God tells us that … Continue reading
THANK YOU, LORD!
I’m thankful for my life, though I don’t always say it. It sometimes takes a special day to coax words out and pray it. I thank God for His Only Son, who came to bring me life; I’m grateful for … Continue reading
End of Autumn
The once brilliant crimson and gilded leaves have all fallen. Only a few persistent “hanger-onners” cling to empty branches. The ominous grey clouds fill with crystals of ice and in no time the desolation will be covered with a blanket … Continue reading
God Is Not Dead!
One nation under God,” is what our founders said, But something happened on the way. They now say God is dead. I know our God lives on. He stands at heaven’s gate. And He will bring our nation back from … Continue reading
Guilt
I’m met by guilt on every day. It sweeps my peace of mind away. It starts with little things at dawn – why did I go and sleep so long? My socks don’t match – my hair’s a mess. Did … Continue reading
Alpha and Omega

MOM
My mother was a wonderful lady who had to endure so much loss and pain in her life. She was sister to seven others and lost five of them in her lifetime to tragic accidents or terminal disease. Her father … Continue reading
Walking with Jesus
Footprints in the sand pressed deeply by two sets of feet. They have a purpose in walking side by side. But when one set disappears it easy to see, by the weight carried by those lone prints, that one has … Continue reading
DRESSED UP!
The following was posted on September 9th under the title “New Clothes.” I wanted to share it again to let others know that we need to take care of ourselves as we go through life. We often work too hard. … Continue reading
Enduring Love
Shorter days surrender to a sky of crystal blue. Woodland creatures make a last ditch effort to gather all they can, Before an endless night creates a lifeless winter hue. Shades of amber, rust and crimson fall untouched by any … Continue reading
YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW
The giant reaper opens it massive jaws and its teeth consume the hay – It spits out bales of golden chunks as it forages through fields of fodder – food that will keep the cattle happy for the cold months ahead. … Continue reading
A PERFECT ROLE MODEL
Do we place upon a pedestal the heroes of our time? We sometimes make them idols. Do we think they are divine? When they show that they are human, they quickly tumble down. They lose that place of honor. They … Continue reading
NEW CLOTHES
