I often hear a song on our Christian Radio Station, and then check it out on-line to see if there is a link that will let me listen to that song on my computer whenever I want. The song, “How Many Kings?” by Downhere is a beautiful story [...]

I’ve been thinking and wondering lately about some of the exclusive things we think and say, even pray:
That was the best gift ever!
Lord, meet with us as never before.
That was the best Christmas program I’ve ever seen!
It was the best we’ve ever experienced.
That’s the best I’ve ever heard you!
Those are positive words. We need more [...]

Are you comfortable, PJ?
I caught this snapshot of our dogs looking out into their world this morning.
I guess if you want to see, if the sun is warm, the breeze is fresh on your face, and you remember how long the winter was, a little discomfort ain’t nothin’ to worry ’bout.

I liked Math in school. It wasn’t my favorite -music was- but I did OK.
I think story problems were the best.
“OK, what am I supposed to figure out here?
and if this is that, then I can solve what…. no..
how about if …. yeah, that’s it… OK… here goes.”
I hated when the [...]

One of the songs I learned in college, preparing for my Senior recital was a classic arts song setting of Psalm 84. It became one of my favorite Psalms for Sunday morning contemplation.
The above setting in Calligraphy is by Timothy R. Botts.
Consider the words of the psalmist
and tune your heart to sing His [...]

Do you ever have moments when you look at everything going on around you and wonder if the world, maybe our country, or your family – even you – are going to survive all this? You’re not alone if you do.
Fear is one of the strongest emotions we know. It can paralyze. It [...]
Who Drew The Lines?

Years ago I had the privilege of hearing creationist and apologetics scholar Ken Ham speak at a conference I attended. Racial and ethnic tensions were frequently in national headlines, much as they are today. I remember Ham making the point that God created man, including the fairest of the fair-haired, some lighter than [...]
Faithfulness: Continuing Thoughts

Yesterday’s message encouraged me. (Did you know “encourage” means “press strength into”? When I first heard that explanation a picture came to mind of someone coming alongside a friend or brother and gently puuuuushing into that one strength needed for what’s coming.) So I’m continuing to think on faithfulness. Can [...]

I belong to a church where the Word is clearly and effectively taught. It’s one of my favorite blessings.
Today I went to the early service. Brenda was out of town and I was up in plenty of time, so arrived early enough to hear the prelude. Tammy was at the grand piano [...]

… another post from my sister, Jonell
“Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:2
What does it mean to “bear one another’s burdens?
We received a call from a friend’s wife yesterday afternoon, that her husband had to make a big decision regarding his business and wondered if my husband would [...]
