They say as soon as we’re born, we start to die. I’m not sure if that is true, but I guess it probably is if you look at it in the right way. We are born and immediately start aging. In watching my parents growing old and dying, I have come to realize a few… Continue reading Growing Old
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
Penguins
So a little lighter subject today! If you’ve read my blog, you’ve noticed that I love penguins! They are so cute and funny to watch as they fly through the water. Yes, they are birds, but they cannot fly except when they are swimming. There are 17 species of penguins. My favorite it the macaroni… Continue reading Penguins
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
