That’s What Christians Do
I haven’t been spending much time on Facebook lately. The political barbs are still flying and quite frankly, I’m tired of hearing it. I have never believed that a man or a woman was the answer to our country’s problems. If we are putting our faith in humanity alone, we have missed the boat. But, … Continue reading
Life is Not Like Golf
At a recent high school football game where our team completed a really long drive to the goal post, the announcer made the comment that the crowd needed to make some noise and reminded us that we weren’t watching golf. His statement worked and the crowd started cheering. The team needed to hear that enthusiasm … Continue reading
Yearning for Christmas
A friend of mine commented the other night, about how she doesn’t spend that much time on Facebook. But, she said what she had noticed lately, was that every time she logged on, someone was sharing pictures of how they had already decorated for Christmas. It’s not even Thanksgiving yet. I’ll have to admit that … Continue reading
The Redeeming Business
A couple of weeks ago, my hubby and I picked up some chairs at a yard sale. We needed some new chairs for our kitchen table. They weren’t very attractive. They had definitely been used and showed some wear, but when I sat in a couple of them, they were very solid. They didn’t wobble … Continue reading
Sneaky Idols
Yesterday, our sermon was on the Ten Commandments. It was given by our Associate Pastor. I haven’t heard a sermon on the Ten Commandments in a long time. Before she began, she reminded us that our God is a God of law and order. We are given rules to keep us safe. She used the … Continue reading
Giving Thanks to and for Our Veterans
Today is Veteran’s Day. It was originally called Armistice Day and was first celebrated on November 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War 1. It became a national holiday in 1938. It’s a day to honor all American veterans, especially those who are living, who have served our country. I have … Continue reading
Prayers for Peace and Understanding
Yesterday morning, I was tired. I stayed up too late waiting for election results. When I checked my Facebook feed, hoping that the brutal election language was over, I was very disappointed. My conservative friends were gloating. My liberal friends were acting like the end of the world had arrived and both sides had to … Continue reading
Heading into the Fire
Last weekend my family took a hike. When we finally arrived at our destination, we rested. We had a snack and drank some water and marveled at all of the other people who were there. They were sitting around and taking pictures. Some were even in Eno hammocks. After we had rested a bit, I … Continue reading
Focusing on the End Zone
Last Friday night was our high school’s last home game. It also happened to be senior night. There was a great turn out. Unfortunately, our team lost, but they played well. There was only one touch down and boy was it a good one. A senior player named Roques Dowdy, ran the ball for a … Continue reading
Staying the Course
Back in September, my family and I, took a hike at a place called Raven Cliffs Falls. We had never been there before and were looking for a new adventure. We got one. The GPS wasn’t working very well. Cell phones and mountains do not mix. We got lost on the way and ended up … Continue reading
