What now?
The clamor is great as we move into the New Year. The Covid 19 Pandemic is running rampant even as vaccines are being distributed, and the unrest in our society is almost at match point. What can we do? There is a little verse in II Chronicles 20:12 “We do not know what to do, …
The Hope of Christmas
I love that the Christmas Season begins after a day of Thanksgiving. What better way to prepare our hearts for the welcoming of the Christ Child who has come to earth to make a way for humanity to be restored. “Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; His love endures forever.” (107:1) This …
Extravagance
“Relax, cease striving and know that I am God.” I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” Psalms 46:10 “Our Lord made the way for every Son of Man to come into communion with God. The Saints do not end in crucifixion; by the Lord‘s grace, they end in …
“For Such A Time As This”
When I read the story of Esther, I’m always struck with one profound thought: that the Lord is always preparing us, all of our lives “for such a time as this”: That tucked in every corner of the Living Word of God, we are being taught “for such a time as this”. I know that …
It’s a Matter of Perspective

Especially when struggling with fear! Sometimes when I worry my mind goes …
Bring Honor to the Family
I was struck by that phrase in a preview of the new live-action Mulan movie that is coming out in the Spring. Children, in their culture, were taught to bring honor to their family. The phrase struck me to the heart, to the point of tears. Why? It’s New Year’s Day and of course we …
The Deep Magic of Christmas
My daughter made a comment, during a Hallmark Christmas movie, that they seem to be more religious-inspirational this year. That struck me because I happened to be thinking about Christmas and how sad it is, for the most part, that everyone is trying to erase what the Holiday (“Holy Day”) is about. Whether you love …
Pace Yourself
I want to get back “in the race” now- but it may take six months to year. The reason why: nerve damage and back surgery which has kept me pretty close to home and is slow to heal. I want to be well now. (I always picture my granddaughter’s book, The Pout Pout Fish, when …
