Aren’t you glad that God made us all so different? He sure had a sense of humor when he made me! Some of us have freckles, some have dark skin, and some light. Some of us are extroverts and others are introverts. Some laugh easily and sing a lot; others…
Twins! Double pediatric costs, two cribs, two car seats. I thought it was hard when they were born almost 24 years ago. Later it was double college applications, two sets of scholarship applications, two colleges requiring papers and information! But always, twice the joy! These two young men are so…
On what do you gauge your self worth? Is it your performance, your looks, others’ opinions, or God’s Word? 2 Cor. 5:17 says, “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.” God says that we are a…
I don’t know about you, but as I read the Old Testament, I can sure be judgmental. If I was an Israelite back in the time of the Exodus, the time of Jeremiah, etc., I would have been true to God! But God reminded me this morning that we have…

I can’t decide what to write today. As I thumb through Scripture, I feel as if I am standing in front of a fire hydrant! There is so much. So much Love. So much truth. So much instruction. So much God! Do you take the time to listen to what…
It is definitely an In the Midst day! It is one of those days where just getting out of bed is a chore. The weather is cold, and my body does not like cold weather! I woke up at 5:00 in severe pain after spending hours earlier in the night fighting…
I have been thinking about the balance between grace and holy living lately. Does grace erase holy living or holy living usurp grace? As Paul would say, “May it never be!” (Rom. 6:1-2) So God gave me a word picture. When we accept Christ as Savior we are a new…
