  • Need Directions?

    How many of you remember these? You young'uns might have never seen one. We don’t see weather vanes much anymore. I sure could use one of these on my car. It has one of those new-fangled GPS things but I haven’t figured it out.   I have zero sense of direction. No, really, I mean it! North, south, east, west – forget it. I can get lost before I drive out of my driveway. So I… Read More

    http://depositphotos.com/ I’ve been battling insomnia the past couple weeks. Lie awake until 2 a.m. or so, get up for a while, go back to bed and sleep 2-3 hours. Bummer. I finally rummaged around and found the list of Scripture verses I use in times like this. They reassure me and help me relax. I thought that someone out there might need these too.

    Blown here and there by every wind of teaching. Ephesians 4:14 A couple days ago, I saw this poor tumbleweed roll down the street and come to rest against the curb. Now, out here in west Texas, it's windy. When we first moved here, the meteorologist on the local news said, "Tomorrow will be breezy." I'm not sure what breezy means to you, but here it means 10-15 miles per hour. When they say it's windy,… Read More

    My husband’s wanted one of these for years. What can I say? He’s an engineer and he wants every new toy that comes along. During the year-end sales, he found one at a price that was almost reasonable. Guess what he got for Christmas? I must admit, it’s a fun little thing to watch. It sits with its nose snuggled up against the base, waiting for someone to turn it on. When you press START,… Read More

  • Feed the Fire!

    Ps 119:105 says God’s Word is a light for our paths. I made the mistake of assuming the light was something God provided—I just walked along, taking advantage of it. I missed the “God’s Word” part. God’s Word can’t light my path by osmosis. What happens to a campfire if no one adds a log or some twigs to it? What happens to your gas stove if the gas is shut off? What happens to… Read More
