    The guy who mows our walking park must be on vacation. He hasn't mowed for a couple weeks. If he sees all these weeds, he might say, "Look at that! It's impossible!" Isn't it amazing how fast things get out of sorts? How about that diet? "Well, I blew it last night. surely another day won't hurt." Second day, "Oh, what's the use! I'll feel better after some brownies." Cleaning house? Why dust the coffee… Read More

      I [Lord] am giving you the service of the priesthood as a gift. Numbers 18:7 Gift – we all know what a gift is and we love to get them. Pretty wrapping paper, big bow, anticipation, excitement. How often have you been given a birthday gift, thanked the giver profusely, put it in the closet, and never open it? I thought so. But we each have a birthday gift* from God we seldom open:… Read More

    And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth...  Instead, they were longing for a better country - a heavenly one.  Hebrews 11:13b, 16 "Are we there yet?"

Two beautiful daughters  Two perfect grandchildren. But home has… Read More

  • Do You Know Him?

       "Come now, let us reason together," says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool. Isaiah 1:18   When my husband and I took the train from Washington D.C. to Pittsburgh in February,  the fields of freshly fallen snow reminded me of this verse in Isaiah.    God promises us that Jesus’s death, His burial, and His return… Read More
