God is in Control

“The Lord sat as King at the flood;Yes, the Lord sits as King forever.”Psalm29:10 What was the worst disaster that ever happened upon the earth to mankind?  The flood, the deluge, the total destruction of a race of people and animals except for those who found safety on the ark. …

Sing a New Song

“O sing to the Lord a new song,For He has done wonderful things,His right hand and His holy arm have gained the victory for Him.The Lord has made known His salvation;He has revealed His righeousness in the sight of the nations.” Psalm 98:1-2 My oldest son is in India for…

God is Faithful

“God is faithful, though whom you were called into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.” 1 Corinthians1:9 I get to meet amazing people along our journey or homeschool book conventions.  And whether  they have walked through tough times, are walking through tough times, or are afraid of tough times…

“…for the joy of the LORD is your strength.” Nehemiah 8:10 You might be in a state of waiting.  You are putting footwork to your wait.  But now what?  God would desire that you find joy in the journey!  We, as human beings, tend to seek the goal, strive for…

“Do not move the ancient boundaryWhich your fathers have set.”Proverbs 22:28 Boundaries.  They are there for our good.  but how often we want to ignore them, step over them, or remove them.  Literally, Solomon was talking about land boundaries given by God to the Hebrews as they took over the…

Letting Go

“Man’s steps are ordained by the Lord, How then can man understand his way?”Proverbs 20:24  We just had a graduation for our twins.  They are 18, and ready to head off into the great unknown! (Literally, one is going to be a pilot.)  The other one is going to live…
