Wishes and Prayers
One of the struggles I have with prayer is not that I don’t think it is important. I do. I know I need to keep praying, even when I don’t feel like it. I need to talk to God, telling Him my needs and thanking Him for His answers. It is not that I am…
Ears To Hear Ex. 26 The Tabernacle
I have not travelled extensively, but many of the places I have gone I have attended church or visited various cathedrals and worship sites. Each one is beautiful, some because of the architecture, some because of the history and some because of the community found there. One thing in common is that they are sites…
Sopps 6.3.18
Skyler and Lauren, because I don’t speak “electrical engineer”, this analogy is based on the universal language of music! In the Magician’s Nephew, CS Lewis writes about the creation of Narnia. When the characters find themselves in the land of Narnia they actually stumble into the creation of the world itself. When they enter there…
Growing Weary
I am not sure why but time seems to dull the senses, curb enthusiasm and stifle joy. I have the depressing capacity for getting tired of the wonder, of taking life’s moments and pleasures for granted. No matter how hard I try to rail against it, I miss amazing and beautiful things that God has…
Ears to Hear Ex. 18:9-12
When God does amazing things in my life I am usually quick to share it within the household of faith. After all, it is worth celebrating! I am not usually so quick to share it with people who don’t know God in a personal way. I can give all kinds of excuses for why I…
Billy Graham
Well Dr Graham went home to heaven yesterday and everyone seems to be sharing their memories and stories of this amazing evangelist, known as America’s Pastor. I too have stories! My first remembrance is when I was probably 4 years old. We sat really high up in the Coliseum in LA and I remember that…
I am Gomer…
The one character in the Bible that I do not ever want to be identified with is Gomer. Ok, well there are several others, but no matter how much I think I am different than Hosea’s wayward wife, it does not take more than a few seconds to realize I am not – different, that…
Ears to Hear Sunday January 28
Proverbs 3:13-26 13 Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who obtains understanding. 14 For her benefit is more profitable than silver, and her gain is better than gold. 15 She is more precious than rubies, and none of the things you desire can compare with her. 16 Long life is in…
Anniversaries!
50 years Dennie and Diana This ministry power couple has had a powerful impact on many people, but most importantly (for me anyways), they have shaped me more than they will ever know. It is an honor to celebrate their marriage and I join the 1000’s of others who would be first in line to…
ABC’s of Gratitude
Every year of our married life Jim and I had the discipline of writing down the things we are thankful for every November. Since meeting with Colleen for the past few months I decided to commit to memory her Alphabet list of Bible Verses this month. I did adapt a few of the verses from…
