Healing What Ails You Earlier, I caught a nasty virus, the kind that plays havoc with your digestive system. Of course, we were out of town when it hit. During our granddaughter’s dance competition, we sat in the balcony watching so many beautiful dancers. While waiting for her solos, it hit hard. The closest bathroomContinue reading “Healing What Ails Us”

Millions of Raindrops
This is longer than usual, but something worth thinking about. Have a wonderful Wednesday! I’ve always wanted to do big things—you know, travel to a foreign country and help needy people.

Invite God In
Good morning! I hope you all have a blessed Tuesday! Today’s quote is one I could read and ruminate on over and over. So much wisdom and so much to consider.

Faith…Mightier Than the Wind
I wrote this back in 1999 after a tornado destroyed our church. Wind: odorless, colorless, tasteless, yet we know it exists. Even though we cannot hold it in our hands, we feel it. We feel its gentle breezes cooling us in the heat of summer; we feel its icy blast stinging us in the chillContinue reading “Faith…Mightier Than the Wind”
Conflicting Forces
Here’s a little food for thought for your Tuesday. Have a great day! Two conflicting forces cannot exist in one human heart. When doubt reigns, faith cannot abide.

Inheriting the Treasure
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 ofContinue reading “Inheriting the Treasure”
The Love of Money
“For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.” I Timothy 6:10 (NIV) Father, protect us from loving money and seeking it above all else. Rather, teach us to love others as You love us.
