Fractured
Once upon a time… We’ve all seen them or read them. The fairy tale movies and books where the prince gets the princess and the ogre gets what’s coming to him. If you don’t know, I teach library at a private school. I have done this for several years and enjoy it very much! One… Continue reading Fractured
In the Eye of the Storm
I love rain and storms as long as we are safe. But there are some storms that aren’t full of rain and thunder. They are the storms of life. Have you ever asked yourself if God is talking in the eye of the storm? Job 38 says (The Message): God answered Job from the eye of… Continue reading In the Eye of the Storm
Seasons
When I am in Nashville, I like to listen to the Oldies radio station. Other times I listen on a music app on my phone. The other day I was driving along listening when a song, Seasons in the Sun, came on I haven’t heard in so long. It actually made me tear up! I… Continue reading Seasons
Wondrous Story!
I often blog about music. I love to remember my Daddy singing in worship, and I often wake with a song in my mind and on my heart. It seems in the church today, there is some controversy between the ‘new’ songs and the ‘older’ more traditional songs. There are good in both! Our congregation,… Continue reading Wondrous Story!
Everyman
When I was in high school, I remember reading a play called Everyman. Even though written in the 1400’s, it is still applicable today. God: Everyman lives only for their own pleasure, and yet their own life is not assured. They forget completely the shedding of my son’s red blood. The more patient I am,… Continue reading Everyman
No Big Deal
Have you ever been with someone when he or she died? It is an extremely (I am struggling here to find the right word) compelling event. Why are we so fascinated with death? It is the great unknown. We are sometimes scared of it, and we don’t talk about it much. But we are all… Continue reading No Big Deal
Simply Gone
Enoch walked steadily with God. And then one day he was simply gone: God took him. Genesis 5:24 The Message There was probably nothing simple about it. Were there search parties? Did his family know where he had gone? Did they mourn his disappearance? Did they know he walked with God…steadily? Perhaps they did and… Continue reading Simply Gone
So Very Good
As I sit this morning looking out my window, it is a cold 20 degrees. But I still see the good things God has created as the birds come out looking for bugs and the grass is turning green and growing. God’s creation is getting ready for Spring. God looked over everything he had made; it… Continue reading So Very Good
He Knows!
Have you ever tried to help a friend or loved one through a trying time only to fail because you could not identify with how they were feeling. The sympathy was there, but because you had not ever experienced their trial, there was no empathy. Sometimes I think we don’t really believe Jesus went through… Continue reading He Knows!
