When You Don’t Recognize God
“If you can’t see His way past the tears, trust His heart.” – Charles Spurgeon It is one thing to have wounds inflicted by an enemy, another by your closest friend. At times I felt betrayed by God in grief. Why God? Why did you allow it? It’s been a year and a half since […]
What’s Wrong with the World
This great world in all its beauty and glory was created for the glory of God and for our pleasure and enjoyment. We were placed in it to enjoy it and to have the riches of God surround us, astound us and mystify us. All of the world’s beauty and benefits were to be poured […]
Fighting the Good Fight

She loved to instigate and rile people up in a fun, playful, good-natured way. I loved her quick wittedness. You […]
Speak to My Heart
Speak to my heart, Lord Jesus, Speak that my soul may hear; Speak to my heart, Lord Jesus, Calm ev’ry doubt and fear. Speak to my heart, oh, speak to my heart, Speak to my heart, I pray; Yielded and still, seeking Thy will, Oh, speak to my heart today. It’s strange how verses […]
Standing on the Promises
“You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.” – Psa 32:7 Just a few more days before my last day at work after almost 15 years. Not sure what I’m going to do next. There use to be a time when I would be absolutely […]
