Biblical Wisdom
Following Heavenly Radar
Last May, I made an appointment for my son to have his senior pictures taken at the end of July. I knew the summer would be busy, with his wisdom teeth surgery, vacation, family visiting, me working, his birthday, my Daddy’s birthday, my daughter’s birthday and band camp, not to mention, school starts back sooooo … Continue reading
Bird Like Faith
Last spring, a little bird decided she wanted to build a nest in our garage. My hubby and I thought it was a bad idea, so we fought her. She would gather up some twigs and sticks and put them high on a shelf and one of us would take them down. The next day, … Continue reading
Sharing Fears and Faith
We were recently discussing in my Sunday school class, the Biblical account of the Israelites leaving Egypt and crossing the desert where they would eventually walk through the Red Sea. The account tells us that God led them with either a pillar of cloud by day or a pillar of fire by night and that … Continue reading
Miraculous Living
I recently read the last verse in the Gospel of John. I’ve read it before, but this time it really made me think. “Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them was written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be … Continue reading
Good Friday Reflections
Today is Good Friday. It’s the day the Christians commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus. It’s tempting to skip over and head right on to Easter Sunday. Living on this side of the cross, we know how the story ends. Yet, to fully appreciate the glory and magnitude of the resurrection, we have to acknowledge the … Continue reading
Childlike Faith
Yesterday, we celebrated Palm Sunday at our church, just as many churches did around the world. It’s the beginning of Holy Week that ends with the celebration of Easter. I’ve been in churches where the children walk in carrying palm branches and somehow we always sing a song with, Hosanna in it. After church, out … Continue reading
The Call to Lifelong Learning
I’ve been reading a daily devotional by Jonathon Cahn, called, “The Book of Mysteries.” It’s a fascinating read that often explains the fact that many Hebrew words have double meanings. Cahn wrote, “that the word for disciples in Hebrew is, “talmidim.” It comes from the root word, “lamad,” which is linked to teaching or learning, … Continue reading
Jonah Wisdom
A few weeks ago, my pastor gave a sermon on Jonah. It’s a fascinating story for reasons much deeper than Jonah being swallowed up by a giant fish. It’s a super short book, only four chapters long, but full of lessons for those who want to seek them. My pastor pointed out that when Jonah … Continue reading
Turning Back to God
Last week, there was another horrific school shooting in our country, that left seventeen people dead. Before the dust settled the blame game began. The gun control advocates got out their bull horns. The mental health reform folks got on their soap box. Everyone wanted to lay blame on someone for the tragedy. When our … Continue reading
Broken Umbrella Lessons
Last Sunday, it was pouring down rain when it was time for church. At one point in my life, I had a stack of umbrellas. Somehow that stack has dwindled down to one and that one is broken. It no longer pops out when I push the button and one of the little metal pieces … Continue reading
