The Beauty of Nature

A little bit of heaven here on earth.  Oh what a foretaste of what’s to come.  All glory to God!

“Earn It”

Two nights ago, I watched the movie, Saving Private Ryan.  I’ve been thinking about it ever since.
I’m sure that most of you have seen it before.  It was made in 1998.  Somehow, it never made its way to my DVD player, although I have heard references to it many times.
This was probably the first time [...]

Michael Jackson’s Real Cause of Death

I love how Ray Comfort uses Michael Jackson’s death as a springboard for sharing the gospel.  It’s amazing how many lost people there are in this world.  It simply makes my heart hurt.
I encourage you to watch the video all the way through.  It is very poignant.  People should not fear death.  If you have [...]

Serving Others

We had a fabulous message, given by our youth pastor, at church this morning.
His message was about serving others.  The text for his message came from John 13:1-17…

Jesus Washes His Disciples’ Feet
1It was just before the Passover Feast. Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and go to the [...]

Transparency

I just got back from my Wednesday night Bible study.  I do so enjoy these evenings, even if, quite honestly, there are days when I’d rather be lazy and sit at home.  Now that Chicky drives, it can be difficult to extricate myself from the couch cushions.  Yeah, it’s nice to have a child who [...]

Hosanna

Easter Sunday…the holiest of holidays for a Believer.
On Easter, we celebrate the resurrection of the Savior, who died for our sins.
This is a gift, given NOT to make our lives on earth easier but to save us from spending an eternity in Hell…due punishment for our sin, which God abhors.
We sang “Hosanna” today at church.  [...]

Watching God Answer Prayer

God is so good.
God is so faithful.
I started feeling puny yesterday but pushed on to work today, determined not to let my body get the best of me.  I seriously considered skipping Bible Study tonight.
I’m glad I didn’t.
I was privileged to watch God work tonight.
One of the ladies in my group will be departing for [...]

A Cloud of Sadness

Last night, I pulled out my Inspirational Study Bible (edited by Max Lucado).

I decided to read Matthew 12, the chapter that my Bible study will be discussing this week.
This Bible has “Life Lessons” that run down the left and right outer margins.  The lessons accompany the current text.
If you have a Bible handy, take a [...]

Cartoon Song

Yesterday, Tabby mentioned, in her comments, Chris Rice’s Cartoon Song.
It’s another one of my favorites.  I discovered it many years ago after purchasing a CD.  I accidentally left the CD playing long after the last song was over.  Tucked at the end was this wonderful surprise.  My children absolutely loved it, and we played it [...]

Worth Getting Up For

When the alarm clock went off this morning, I was more than a little bit tempted to turn it off, roll over, and hunker down for more sleep.  I pressed the snooze button six times.
Yeah, I know.  You’d think that I would be awake by then, but I still hesitated.
The only thing that made me [...]
