• Thoughts on Christmas: A Mother’s Song, A Daughter’s Song

• Acting Out Our Faith: Taking the Word

  Those who had been scattered preached the word wherever they went. – Acts 8:4 The devil does not give up easily.  He is pride personified and will not stop his rebellion against God.  He incites and manipulates and connives to work against the kingdom of God and he worked hard to squash this new move…

• Pressing On – Part 1: Turning the Page

  I was reminded recently that we can get distracted from pressing on in our walk with God.  Things close in, demands seem overwhelming, responsibilities push for our attention and we can let our time with God dwindle away.  But pressing on in our life with God is what makes us fit for the demands and…

• Remembering September 11th and What Followed: A Moment of Honor and Nobility

  Something I post every September 11th.  Pray for peace. “But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate — we cannot consecrate — we cannot hallow — this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor…

• Gardening Tips: Follow the Sun
