Why?

As I sit most mornings, looking at the blue sky and hearing the birds singing, I praise the One who made it all. I’m not perfect by any means, physically! or spiritually, but I know the One who is! Some mornings my mind and heart drifts to those who don’t believe or don’t believe anymore.… Continue reading Why?

Life Goes On

Often times after a loved one of ours dies, we feel so lost. It seems like life is moving on without us, as if we are stuck in a different time. For those who have had someone you love die, it seems like everyone forgets that even though time has passed, you are still struggling… Continue reading Life Goes On

I Don’t Know

Have you ever been asked why or asked why yourself? Why do bad things happen? Why is there divorce? Why do children get sick and die? Why is there physical pain? Why is there cancer? It can go on and on. I believe there are some things that we cannot know and should not know… Continue reading I Don’t Know

Witnesses

I guess there are always people watching us whether we know it or not. When we are doing good things, and sometimes when we are doing things we aren’t supposed to be. When you get to Heaven, who do you want to talk with? Jesus, of course! But are there others? People who have died… Continue reading Witnesses

Happy

What makes you happy? What do you think being happy means? It is defined as enjoying or characterized by well-being and contentment. But to me that sounds more like definition of joy. There are times when we are happier than others. It is an emotion not a state of our hearts always. There is a… Continue reading Happy

Discouragement

Yesterday, our preacher quoted Marvin J. Ashton, “Satan is ever present, trying to destroy our glory and remove our crown. One of his most powerful tools is discouragement. Don’t let your discouragement make Satan rejoice.” We’ve all felt it. Things happen in this world that make us sad, down, or discouraged. I don’t want to… Continue reading Discouragement

Confession

I admit I have a hard time with confession. I don’t like to confess to myself, even though I try to do it. I certainly don’t like to confess to anyone else. I know the Bible tells us to do this, and I know why. But when you’ve confessed to people you thought you could… Continue reading Confession

The Name of God

We have a lot of problems with our tongues. God knows this. We know this. James is a great book from the Bible to read about the tongue and its issues. But in my daily readings, I recently came across a part that I don’t remember reading before. This is always amazing to me having… Continue reading The Name of God

Time

Someone recently asked me if I would ever go back in time maybe to being a teenager and do it over again. I replied that the only way I’d ever go back is to be able to take the knowledge I have now, such as it is, and perhaps change some things of the past.… Continue reading Time

God Will

Things that happen in our lives have a way of either making us stronger or bringing us down. Things that cause so much pain, we don’t know if we are going to make it through. Things that make us so joyful, we cannot help but cry those happy tears! We’ve all experienced probably both. Psalm… Continue reading God Will
