One summer Scott and I flew to San Diego to visit our cousin Zelda. While there, we spent time at the Pacific Ocean’s shore. Just standing at a very small edge of this huge body of water was awe-inspiring. Looking outward from my vantage point on the sand, I could not imagine the immensity ofContinue reading “On the Beach”

Give Thanks
Today I’m thankful for sunshine and flowers, for family and friends. I’m thankful we were able to travel to see our 17-year-old grandson preach at his church for youth Sunday. I’m thankful his great grandmother was also able to listen to him preach. Every day we have so many reasons to be thankful, in goodContinue reading “Give Thanks”
The Church
The church is not a theological classroom. It is a conversion, confession, repentance, reconciliation, forgiveness and sanctification center, where flawed people place their faith in Christ, gather to know and love him better, and learn to love others as he designed. — Paul David Tripp Lord knows, I am flawed. My church is a gatheringContinue reading “The Church”
Have No Fear
I’m so grateful that the God of the universe, the God who lives in my heart, is stronger than the evil one. He is my redeemer and my protector. Thank you, Lord!
A Child’s First Steps
Do you remember watching a baby learn to walk? First, she holds Mom’s hand tightly, walking with the reassurance of that grip. Soon she lets go, taking tentative steps on her chubby legs.

Call on Him
How comforting to know that the God of the universe draws near. All I have to do is call on Him.
One Drop in the Ocean
“We know only too well that what we are doing is nothing more than a drop in the ocean. But if the drop were not there, the ocean would be missing something.” ― Mother Teresa Lord, it is so easy to just sit back and let someone else do it. But I know that youContinue reading “One Drop in the Ocean”
Renew my Spirit
God, some days I just feel wasted and tired. I see my wrinkles and feel my pain. But when I turn to You, when I read your word, when I thank you for your endless blessings, then my heart takes wing. My spirit becomes young and rejuvenated, and I praise you with all my heart,Continue reading “Renew my Spirit”
Inheriting the Treasure
When my parents died, they left my brothers and me all their worldly treasures. Fortunately for us, they had planned well. They left a will, named an executor, and had their investments and savings earmarked as payable on death to us. Even though they planned carefully, we have waded through rivers of red tape toContinue reading “Inheriting the Treasure”
