Time and Eternity
Time marches on, and we feel the weight of it day by day. It is the same in each season of life. The pressures of the day may feel like they will never end, but the years fly by with alarming speed. Just about the time we think our babies will never sleep through […]
THE GOOD SHEPHERD
Show me Your shepherd heart, Father. Help me to remember that I am a sheep, both individually, and as a part of Your flock. You have promised shepherds after Your own heart for Your people. How will we recognize them and not be led astray? Any shepherd that I call to lead My people will […]
NORMAL LIVING

I’m struggling, Lord, to understand how I’m to respond to the changes I see in the world around me. It’s easy to get angry or afraid, but mostly I’m just sad. An election year seems to bring out the worst in everyone. I see and hear such a wide range of reactions and opinions that […]
It’s Done!
Our kitchen remodel project is done! This is our kitchen “before”. We started tearing out the cabinets on February 4. And a few days later it looked like this: Next came the new ceiling. Then things changed quickly! New lights and face frames were installed. Staining was done and under-cabinet lighting made the room start […]
WAITING
I’m waiting, Lord, for so many things. I’m waiting to see the answers to some prayers. I’m waiting to feel better. I’m waiting for the seasons to change. I’m […]
