Wisdom

The wisdom of the Bible defies human wisdom. Father, thank you for sharing your wisdom with your children.

Billy Graham What a great question. What are you doing to prepare for your last day on earth? What kind of legacy will you leave behind? I don’t know about you, but this sure makes me think! “All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grassContinue reading “TICK, TICK, TICK”

Hear the Crying

Hear the Crying Imagine if you will, Christmas day more than 2000 years ago in the town of Bethlehem. Jesus is born. Do you feel the crisp morning air? Do you smell the animals and the hay? Listen. Do you hear the newborn crying? Can you see Mary, seated on the floor of the stable,Continue reading “Hear the Crying”

A Blanket of White

A Blanket of White Light streaming through my window awakened me. Like a child, I jumped out of bed and hurried to the window. Sparkling in my back porch light, snow blanketed the yard.

The contour of each billowyContinue reading “Reflected Glory”

Christian Writers’ Conference–Virtually

Here’s where I’ve been hanging out for the past two days. Got my computer, pens and notebook, snacks and a drink. I am learning so much. One little thing is the title. It makes all the difference and one professional suggested something different from what I had. Without knowing which one was my working titleContinue reading “Christian Writers’ Conference–Virtually”

Through the Psalms, 16

Happy Friday! Here’s some wisdom from the Psalms Psalm 16: 5-8 “Lord, you alone are my portion and my cup; You make my lot secure. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; I will praise the Lord, who counsels me; Even at night my heart instructs me. I keep my eyes alwaysContinue reading “Through the Psalms, 16”

Happy Tuesday! Here’s a quote by Henri Nouwen that will give you something to think about today. “Maybe it is exactly the experience of loneliness that allows us to describe the first tentative lines of solitude. Maybe it is precisely the shocking confrontation with our hostile self that gives us words to speak about hospitalityContinue reading
