I have a few things I really treasure…gifts given to me, heirlooms passed down, other things I love. I also have people I treasure…family and friends. In John 12 Mary anoints Jesus’s feet with perfume considered her treasure because it was worth a year’s salary. After she puts it on His feet, she wipes them… Continue reading Give It

As Good As It Gets
So many people have constant hard times. One right after the other. I don’t know why except I’ve heard it said if you’re trying to live like God wants you to, satan attacks harder. There’s a movie I really like called As Good As It Gets. Perhaps you’ve seen it. There are two scenes in… Continue reading As Good As It Gets
The Table
Growing up at every holiday get together, I can remember sitting at the ‘kid’s table.’ Perhaps you did also, and even now you have one for your kids or grandkids. It makes us feel like kids, and we strain to hear what’s being said at the ‘adult’ table. When we moved to the farm, one… Continue reading The Table
Wordly or Worldly?
When I was in school, I hardly ever studied. I made B’s and C’s, and my excuse was playing a sport each season. I was never pushed by my parents, rarely by teachers, and never by myself to do any better than I did. It is only one of my many regrets, and I’m thankful… Continue reading Wordly or Worldly?
Control
Coronavirus…..God is in control. Worship His name! Stock market crash……God is in control. Praise His name! Job loss……God is in control. Exalt Him on high! Illness…….God is in control. Hallelujah! Storms……God is in control. Magnify Him! Then he fell to the ground in worship and said: “Naked I came from my mother’s womb,and naked I will… Continue reading Control
Searching
We’ve been privileged to see the group Chicago in concert a couple of times. Their ballads and horn section make them one of the best groups of all time, in my opinion. One song, I’ve Been Searching So Long, came to my mind this morning. Written in 1974, the lyrics hit home with most people.… Continue reading Searching
Bought and Paid For
So many of us often choose the wrong thing. The wrong thing to do, say, think, or even eat. We did this when we were young. We see our kids doing the same thing. We do it when we’re older. We do it all the time. Instead of treating our bodies like the temple they… Continue reading Bought and Paid For
One More
There have been a lot of songs written about ‘one more.’ One more day, one more hour, one more night, one more river to cross. If only we could have ‘one more’… But what would we really do with the ‘one more?’ Would we change anything? Jesus resurrected only 3 people while He was here… Continue reading One More
What is it Good For?
There was a song that came out in 1969, called War What is it Good For? Of course, it was meant to protest the Vietnam War. As a young girl, I can remember watching the news at dinnertime and seeing the videos showing the war. In the early 1990’s we had the Gulf War. The… Continue reading What is it Good For?
Go Back
A few times in my 50+ years, I’ve been asked if I’d go back. Would I go back and live my life again? My answer is almost always no, unless I could take what I know back with me. I don’t know that I would change much, but I know I would change some things.… Continue reading Go Back
