What A Shower!

Sunday, March 26, 2023

The Garden

Thursday, September 17, 2020

Distractions

Theological Bankruptcy

Thursday, September 7, 2017

God's Kindness And Sternness

Thursday, August 24, 2017

I often listen to a Christian radio station located in upstate New York, USA. Their tagline is "God's Presence is with you giving you eternal life". Those words are like a hug from God just for me. I like to think that God's Presence will … Read more

Exult In God's Kindness

Saturday, April 29, 2017

Oh, my apple trees! Their delicate pink-and-white, curled-up, wee buds are opening in the sunshine. These new, little trees thrill me! At a horticulture workshop a few years ago, I was shown how to graft eating-apple stem pieces onto … Read more

Caught By The Seat Of My Pants

Sunday, February 19, 2017

God's Appointment

Tuesday, September 29, 2015

Never in my life have I had an immediate example of the truth of this Scripture — at least not until today. Recently, I was given a birthday gift called "The 30-Day Praise Challenge" by Becky Harling. I committed to this challenge and … Read more

Bibs To Aprons

Saturday, March 3, 2012

Gran never took her apron off unless she entertained company in the front room. Her aprons served as splash collectors, pot holders, egg carriers, and wash cloths for a fevered child's brow. I never saw her use an apron to … Read more

Tracing

Friday, May 13, 2011

My Aunt Trudy was a professional tracer. No, she didn't try to find people who were lost or get information for bounty hunters; she traced blueprints and diagrams for a shipping engineering firm. She must have had a steady hand … Read more

Restoration

Thursday, February 10, 2011

One summer, I decided that I would read through the book of Romans. I'm a detailed, orderly, organized person, so I thought that if I could read two chapters a day, that would take eight days to complete. That would … Read more

Bullies From The Past

God's Graciousness In Reverse

Thursday, January 12, 2006

Persistent Caller

Friday, August 26, 2005

Closure

Sunday, June 19, 2005

My dad was an agnostic for most of his adult life. When I decided to become a preacher, he hit the roof. He thought I was wasting my life and talents, and he would have preferred that I had chosen … Read more

Plinkings And Plunkings

Sunday, July 18, 1999

Although I am by no means accomplished in playing the guitar, I can actually bring pleasant sounds out of it. I am getting better at it. There is a true sense of accomplishment in bringing a tune out of that … Read more

Buying Time

Sunday, May 17, 1998

The head nurse on the floor on which I volunteered gave a deep sigh. Upon my acknowledging it, she said she just wished she had some time, so the next day I presented her with a little bottle of thyme, … Read more
