My friend gave me a long personality test. Some of the answers were not applicable to me at all. When you become a Believer things change in your life and as time goes by you grow as a Christian. Now, after this test she was going to tell me what my personality type I was. [...]

Lost and Found

Think for a minute – what have you lost and then after great searching you found it. How did you feel? We all go through this process of hide and seek – especially the older you get. The Bible speaks about the shepherd who left 99 of the sheep and went out to find the one [...]

I really believe that God does have a sense of humor of getting our attention. Can you imagine having your car talk to you. That is in essence what God did when he had Balaam’s transportation talk to him. His transportation was a donkey. Balaam had been asked to curse God’s chosen people. On the way..well…I’ll let [...]

If you haven’t already heard about the statement on lemons and life, here it is: When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. I wanted something hot to drink and it was about 7:00 p.m. and we were at a restaurant. The only thing they had available had caffeine in it. I was chilled and [...]

Yesterday I posted some questions on the prayer “Now I lay me down to sleep,” and also a question about teaching children about Santa Clause. Of course if we look at Santa then we need to look at the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, and of course Halloween. I hope you will take a look [...]

Tonight I was looking at The Ten Commandments for Kids and reread #1 Love God more than you love anything else. I thought, “How would a child understand this?” I remember thinking does God want you to love Him more than Mommy? How do you explain this to a child?
I also learned the nigh time [...]

The rose is a thing of beauty, but it also has thorns. I am reminded of the two natures that are fighting within us. We are redeemed and are forgiven. Then why do we look at sin and allow it to touch our lives and hurt us like the thorns do on a beautiful rose?
I am not sure why [...]

Most of us have seen our friends, families, and strangers come to church and hear the gospel of Jesus Christ. Many responded either privately or publicly to accept what they have heard. Where are so many of them today?
In studying the scripture I am reminded that God tells professing believers: “Depart from me, I never [...]

Thankfully, my husband had a 60% blockage in one artery and the stint they had previously put in was not clogged up. They will need to treat him for angina. I don’t quite understand the angina. We are home and I’m so thankful to be in my own bed with my hubby safe and sound.

I try to keep up on my blogging…. However, I took my hubby to the hospital early last night chest pains. They are going to do a catherization tomorrow afternoon. They hope it is just a small problem and sent me home for some rest early this evening. The first time we had to go [...]
