  • Rainbow’s Promise

    Most of us know about God's promise as He set the rainbow in the sky. After the floodwaters receded from the earth, Noah, his family, and the animals left the ark and walked out onto dry land. What a joy it must have been after days of being crammed in that boat! "I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you and with every living creature that was with you--the birds,… Read More

    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 admit it…I’m a city girl.   Before we moved here, I had no idea what it takes to be a farmer.   Now that I know several cotton farmers, I can tell you  I don’t know how they do it!!   So much about their livelihood is completely out of their control.   Will it rain? Will it flood? Will it freeze too early? Will it get hot too early in the spring?… Read More

    The LORD would speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks with his friend. Exodus 33:11His [Moses] face was radiant because he had spoken with the LORD. Exodus 34:29 Some of you know that my focus for this year is the word Discipline.These two verses caught my attention as the key to and result of being disciplined.
