“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 […]
My husband and I went to watch ‘Prometheus’ earlier this year. I’ve never been much of an ‘Aliens’ fan but I did find the premise behind it quite interesting. It was one in which man goes in search of God, in the case of this movie “the gods” to discover why he has been created. […]
I’ve been reading a book called Charles Spurgeon, The Great Orator by J.C. Carlile. Something I read last night stayed with me all day today and I wanted to continue to remember it. In recounting Spurgeon’s education, a cook is mentioned who had great influence on him. “During this time he was influenced greatly by […]
We are condemned to salvation through the Cross of Christ. – Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest, Feb. 2nd This one sentence stood out to me as I was reading, “we are condemned to salvation.” Condemned to salvation, it sounded so ironic when I first read it.

I have told the glad news of deliverance in the great congregation; behold, I have not restrained my lips, as you know, O LORD I have not hidden your deliverance within my heart; I have spoken of your faithfulness and your salvation; I have not concealed your steadfast love and your faithfulness from the great […]
I have a tendency to get lost. My husband says I have no sense of direction at all. He is right. I can have a map in my hands and still get lost. Maps are beneficial but once you make a few wrong turns, or if you start off by holding it upside down and […]
This weekend I spent some time sitting on a hill writing in my journal during our quiet time at our church’s annual women’s retreat. As I sat poised to write, watching all the women off in the distance, sitting under trees, on benches, on stair steps, silently praying, writing, walking, working out their thoughts while […]
“Your whole life ought to be disciplined (i.e., structured, set up, organized,and running day by day) toward the goal of godliness.

Monday through Saturday, not only Sunday, you must move toward the goal, one step, or two steps or ten […]
