    Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace. Hebrew 4:16a (NKJV) He just sat there, staring at me! After all, I was invading his territory.  You see, I went for a walk in a small park near my home. (I’d call it exercise but strolling along at a snail’s pace doesn't quite qualify.) As I wandered along, I saw a squirrel sitting about three feet off the path, carefully examining a pecan. He stood up straight, stared at me intently, and tightly… Read More

  • The Veil is Torn!
    Friday, April 10th, 2015     Sherry Carter     4 Comments

    Have you ever seen the majesty of Bridal Veil Falls at Yosemite National Park? Stunning! Breathtaking! And there’s the sweetness of a lacy bridal veil, waiting to be lifted by a new husband. Bridal veils are beautiful. We've celebrated the forgiveness of Good Friday and the joy of Resurrection Sunday.  But, as I read the Scripture, there’s an event that’s often passed over: the tearing of the bridal veil.

Are you getting the hint… Read More

    I've never had passion fruit. It looks like it’s full of seeds with very little pulp. But this little girl sure seems to love it. Passion might be the name of a fruit but it’s also a deep desire in our hearts that guides our thoughts and actions. Passion is a big buzz word these days, especially among artists, but it can apply to everyone. Your passion might be to raise godly children. To pursue happiness or… Read More

  • The Joy of Sprinting
    Saturday, March 7th, 2015     Sherry Carter     11 Comments

    We've all done it. We pray diligently and we’re certain we know the next step in God’s plan. So, why wait? Let’s go sprinting down the path as fast as we can. There’s a problem with that: sprinters dash for short distances and then they’re pooped. We zip along and, when we’re exhausted, we look to God for strength. Surprise, surprise, He’s not there! We look behind us and there He is: “You ran off… Read More
