Some people have the “purple duck syndrome”. You might ask “What in the world is that?” It is a syndrome that most of us have had one time or another. When my daughter was separated from her husband, he verbally abused her with caustic words. They had decided to try a trial separation and so [...]

This weekend it rained on Saturday and my grandson spent the day with us. We were changing sheets and remaking the beds-putting on extra covers for the colder temperatures we are expecting.

I don’t always take advantage of the freedom of having God’s word. I think how, through the years, I’ve run to God’s word for strength and help in my time of need. God’s word has never failed me. The book of Psalms is full of praise and prayer. Here are some of my prayer scriptures. [...]

How many times do we look back at a situation and say “What if…?” I believe it is a good thing to look over our choices and learn from them.

Taste and See
Posted in Christianity, Devotion, Faith, Uncategorized on October 22, 2008 | 2 Comments »
One of my most favorite words are in the bible. “Taste and see that the Lord is good.” My grandchildren usually do not want to taste anything they are unfamiliar with. They look at it, they smell it, and more than often they say “no, thank you.”
Last weekend my grandson had brownies with peanut butter [...]

Remember that song, “To know, know, know him, is to love, love, love him and I do, and I do, and I do.’ I think of knowing God when I hear this song. Moses had the privilege to know God in a very unique way. He was able to see God’s glory pass by him. [...]
