If God Is For Us….

If God Is For Us….

 (Romans 8:30-32 AMP*)   The Lord opened a door of opportunity this week to spend time talking “shop” with fifteen amazing teenagers. The “shop” was a writer’s version, a home school writing club, where we discussed the ins and outs of publishing a book. What a fun time it was and what fun, talented kids…

Depart Jesus

Depart Jesus

  And behold,  the whole town went out to meet Jesus;  and as soon as they saw Him,  they begged Him to depart from their locality.   Matthew 8:34 AMP** The miracle had very recently been performed, the two who were so fierce and savage were set free at last! They could live life in a…

This One Who Came….

This One Who Came….

He’s a babe snugly swaddled in our precious nativity scenes. He’s the wee one we celebrate. He is Jesus.   This One who set foot on Earth so unassumingly, coming as a mere infant, arose into adulthood and ministered in magnificient ways. Healing was one of those. And, oh the places we’ll go when we…

Isn’t there turmoil surrounding the name of Jesus yet today?…

Testimony Time

Enticed, Drawn Away

Enticed, Drawn Away

  14But every person is tempted when he is drawn away,  enticed and baited by his own evil desire (lust, passions).     15Then the evil desire, when it has conceived,  gives birth to sin, and sin, when it is fully matured, brings forth death. James 1:14-15** I found myself situated at our table mere feet…

Perfect Love

Our family hit the outdoors recently for an afternoon of zip lining. (That’s our sweet daughter in the photo above.) I’m not especially fond of heights, so fear tried to take a little foothold. The idea of stepping off the ledge, far above the tree tops, seemed a bit intimidating to say the least. I…
