Building Christian Character
The Boulder Moving Business
Last Sunday my family attended Easter church services which under normal circumstances wouldn’t be unusual, but nothing about this past year has been normal. As expected, the pastor preached about the resurrection from the Gospels, something we all love to hear especially at Easter. Jesus defeated death and rose to save all believers from sin. … Continue reading
Reaching for His Hand
I have recently been participating in a Bible study on the Gospel of Mark. I always enjoy reading the Gospels because they show Jesus doing what He does, healing the sick, casting out demons, questioning the self-righteous and challenging the people who think they have all of the answers, not to mention dying to save … Continue reading
Finding Hope in Remote Places
I recently read the account of Jesus feeding the 4,000 found in Mark Chapter 8. It’s a familiar story that most Christians know. But, this time, I caught a new detail. In verse two, Jesus tells the disciples that he has compassion for the crowds because they had already been with him for three days … Continue reading
Coyote Lessons
Last weekend, my hubby and I were having coffee at our kitchen table. There are power lines behind our house and we can see the path underneath them from our kitchen. It’s always interesting to see what will walk by. We often see deer. There’s sometimes a really big buck that walks by. We have … Continue reading
A Call to the Light Bearers
Last week, I watched in complete dismay as our Capitol was overrun and overtaken, not by foreign terrorists, but by Americans. People who’s anger and sense of disenfranchisement boiled over and they felt led to take matters into their own hands. Chaos reigned for a time both in Washington DC and all over social media. … Continue reading
Blazing a New Trail
On a recent walk on my parents’ property, we took our pups and let them roam off leash. It was so much fun watching the pure joy in their wagging tails. They would catch a scent of something and run off a little ways and we would call to them and they would return for … Continue reading
Barbed Wire Lessons
On a recent visit to my parents’ house, we were treated to some mild winter weather. We had a cold snap the week before, followed by rain, so when the sun came out on Saturday and the temperature hit sixty degrees, we grabbed the pups and headed out for a long walk. We started out … Continue reading
A Call to Be Thankful
My daughter and I were talking on the phone one day this week. She had been sending me pictures of the Christmas decorations that she and her college roommates had been putting up. She was telling me how she normally wants no part of Christmas before Thanksgiving. She has never liked how people just skip … Continue reading
Seeking Heavenly Focus
Our neighbors have a cat named Ramsey who likes to torment our dogs. He makes it his business to come into our yard and position himself where my dogs can see him. Sometimes he just comes to the edge of the yard and plops down by the mailbox. Sometimes he comes right up to the … Continue reading
Peace in the Chaos
As I write this post, I am surrounded by chaos. There are two bookcases in the space where I usually write and I finally decided last weekend, after years of being unhappy with their dated appearance, that I would paint them. I’m not usually one to shy away from a painting project, but these bookshelves … Continue reading
