I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart. I will tell of all the great things You have done. ~Psalm 9:1 (NLV) How many great things has God done for you recently? Do you only count the “BIG” ones? Do you notice the “little” ones, too? Do you recognize, especially the little […]
Easter! Resurrection! Worship! Jesus is Alive! Focusing on His resurrection. Worshipping our Risen Savior. Those come first in our family’s celebration. We also like to eat. The traditional foods of the holiday become important, I know my grown children with grown children of their own expect chocolate buttercream eggs from a certain local […]
Santa visited our home every year on Christmas Eve. Jesus always came first. The children’s program was always on Christmas Eve. We learned our “piece” for the story and hoped we wouldn’t forget the important Bible verse when our time came to speak. I think I remember being an angel a time or two. After […]
How I wish to quote a line from a worship song this past Sunday, but we’ll go with the gist of it instead. All of us are poor beggars, average Joes and Janes, but when we trust King Jesus as our Lord and Savior, He makes us royalty, promising us an eternal home in His […]

While we often select red ones for love, pink roses are a perfect token of a gentleman’s love for his lady. Besides […]
Valentine’s Day — for hearts and love First thought — “God is Love” ~1 John 4:8 His love so all encompassing there is no where for us to go to out-distance its reach. Whatever escape the driver of this pretty pink classic intends to make, the heart’s tied on. Might just be glued to the […]
We’ve been forbidden human touch. We’ve become afraid of human touch, but we’re also missing it. In these days of COVID-19 lockdowns and social distancing extending far beyond the two weeks to flatten the curve, we’ve had one of our most basic needs stripped from us. Basic needs are usually considered to be water, shelter, […]
If I were to ask what you miss most during these days of stay-at-home orders because of COVID19, I believe most would say it is gathering with family and friends — sharing a meal or a cup of coffee, celebrating a birthday, attending a wedding, hugs. . . It wouldn’t be the trappings dollars can […]
We’re all looking for encouragement in these uncertain and difficult days. Whether it’s COVID-19 or any other challenge you or your family faces, God has loaded His word with many promises. HE is ALL we need — our peace, our protection, our provision, our healer, our joy, our salvation, and way, way more. Please find […]
