  • Love Him, Love Him Not

    When we moved to west Texas a few years ago, it was a big hassle and expensive. I was amazed that, through it all, God protected our little emergency fund. I praised Him as Provider and Sustainer and all kinds of other wonderful words. Then the air conditioner went out. Boy, did my tune ever change! I was afraid – after all, my little fund was empty. What if something happened? I got mad. How… Read More

  • Reflect the Son!

    God made two great lights--the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. Genesis 1:16 We know the moon only reflects the sun's light. It seems to shine brightly, but that's an illusion. What does the moon really look like? The image through a telescope during a new moon, when the sun's rays are blocked, is not a pretty picture. It's rough and pitted. Cold and harsh. Isn't it amazing that… Read More

I imagine the rain-cooled breeze tickling my cheek. I sit—no thoughts race… Read More

    My dearest friend's husband died Saturday night after a long illness. He was a unique, amazing, godly man. It seems trite to say "he will be missed by all who knew him" but you couldn't know Michael without being won over by his wit and slightly warped sense of humor. He planted many seeds and God used him to reaped a bountiful harvest. He's lying his crowns at the feet of Jesus. Then he told… Read More

  • Shadows of Love

    For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. Psalm 139:13.  I came across this wrought-iron patio set in a little nook at Ridgecrest Conference Center in North Carolina. I’ve gone there every May for ten years and I'd never seen this pretty little cubby hole. Your eyes might be drawn to the patio set or to the quiet surroundings but my eyes immediately settled on the intricate design of the… Read More
