This topic came up a while back in an online Bible study I am doing on Matthew, and it has come up again today on the topic of forgiveness. One of my strongest bents toward sin is to want to hurt people back when they hurt me. And to want to get overly emotional in … Continue reading How to Overcome Anger and Hurt

The War Effort
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

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
