  • Bitterness to Joy
    Friday, March 28th, 2014     Sherry Carter     6 Comments

    Although gardening isn’t my thing, I occasionally dig around in the flower beds, pulling weeds. A few days later, I notice that several of them have popped right up again. Frustrating! I’ve learned an important lesson: the weeds aren’t truly gone unless you dig the root out. Any shred of remaining root and it will grow up again. So it is with bitterness.

    Photo by Sherry Carter 2014   Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land. Song of Solomon 2:12As we look around our world, we see so many evidences of God's glory. Near my house, these Bradford pear trees are in full bloom, announcing that spring is just around the corner.You might be enjoying spring or you might be covered in snow but, all… Read More

I can get lost before I drive out of my driveway. So I… Read More

    I’ve got lots of flip-flops. Simple ones. Fancy ones. Lots of colors. Comfy, cool – perfect for running around in the heat of west Texas. In recent years, the idea of flip-flop took on a whole new meaning. We hear it particularly during an election season. “Senator so-and-so changed his mind on XYZ issue! You can’t trust anything he says because you never know when he’ll flip-flop. That’s why you should vote for me!” “The… Read More

  • Excerpt from Storms of Life, Purple: Soveriegnty
    Monday, March 10th, 2014     Sherry Carter     6 Comments

    Here we are, at the last color of the rainbow, the last color of God's grace that carries us through a storm.   Purple...the rich, beautiful color of royalty. We envision kings and queens in flowing purple robes. Sovereign kings whose word is law. Almost no one sees the kings of this world. They are inaccessible, sitting on thrones in throne rooms where their subjects never enter.   Jesus is King of kings and Lord… Read More
