Hope in the Lord
My hope doesn’t lie in money or reputation. It doesn’t lie in friends or family. My hope lies in the Lord of the universe, the God of all creation.

Footprints in the Sand
We walk along the water’s edge, watching the foam from the waves rush up, attempting to capture the sand, then fall back to join the blue ocean water. Our heads down, we look in the sand for shells or coral unbroken by the battering waves. I stoop to examine a piece of elkhorn coral brokenContinue reading “Footprints in the Sand”
Taste and See
For some reason, this verse makes me think of the book, Green Eggs and Ham. You know, the character won’t taste the green eggs and ham anywhere under any circumstances.

There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men.” I Corinthians 12:4-6 Father God, thank you for sharing your gifts with each one of us.

Faith Like Isaiah
Oh, to have faith and love like Isaiah.
A Woodland Sanctuary
As I walked the nature trails, I wandered off the beaten path. Large toadstools nestled under a grove of blue spruce trees attracted my attention. Pushing aside branches, I walked fifteen feet, entering a small clearing. The ground, carpeted with years of accumulated needles, felt soft beneath my feet. A chorus of crickets broke theContinue reading “A Woodland Sanctuary”
