It's been a while since I've published anything here. Most of the things on my heart over the last year or so since the Pandemic and political upheaval have occurred were not what God was calling me to write about or publish on. But this has struck me and I do feel God wants me … Continue reading The War Effort

Grandmothers
Here is a picture of one of my favorite keepsake treasures. It is a Bible page marker that was crocheted by my grandmother. Although I don't use it as a bookmark, I keep it in my closet and see it daily as I dress and prepare for my day. I clearly remember when my mother … Continue reading Grandmothers
Invisible things and fear
Well, I certainly never saw the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic coming, nor its US/world economic consequences, nor shortages of supplies, and especially not the social distancing/self-isolation required as a responsible response to the virus threat that may be coming. Who ever thought churches would close services due to a disease threat? Etc. I am reminded of … Continue reading Invisible things and fear
Rejoicing in Christ
One theme I write about often is understanding and embracing my progressive sanctification in Christ, being transparent about my sinfulness in my old flesh and about my frustrations with my slow progress in Christ. Today I turn the coin to the other side, and I want to write about my rejoicing in and praising God … Continue reading Rejoicing in Christ
My Paradoxical Pursuit Continues
I continue to pursue personal holiness as the Bible says believers should. I continue to fail often. I suppose I am not as bad as I could be, would be, were I not focusing on my desire to obey Christ out of love for Him. But oh how slow is my progressive sanctification and oh … Continue reading My Paradoxical Pursuit Continues

The body-stiff, slow moving, pain in various areas. It feels like trying to resurrect from the dead, but without … Continue reading Morning Vent for the Suffering
I HATE DEATH
My heart is moved to write about a hard topic this evening: Death. How much we all hate it. Thinking of our impending death or having to face the death of a loved one... surely it has to be the most difficult thing in life or one of them anyway. This evening I found out … Continue reading I HATE DEATH

Hebrews Prayers
12/20/19 - I have been meditating on the book of Hebrews lately. I am being so blessed I wanted to share some prayers from this great letter. Maybe it will help someone else out there to pray these things as well. For me this letter fits well with Christmas. The writer of Hebrews explains who … Continue reading Hebrews Prayers
Future shame? Stop missing out!
I've been struck and shocked lately by how many people around me do not pray to God. I guess if a person does not believe there is a god at all, then he/she would not pray. I guess if a person believes in a god but is convinced that god is not good or trustworthy, … Continue reading Future shame? Stop missing out!
