Restricted Vision, Unburdened Sight
Sometimes the things you can't see help you see more clearly!
Quite a few years ago, I was at a church where we were going through a time of transition. There was nothing wrong in the church. It was a time when people were coming in and out and you couldn’t tell if they really cared. They would come to church Sunday morning and then that … Continue reading Look at How You Can Lessen the Load
I can see that getting older slows me down in different ways. I will hear something that sounds like a really good idea and I write down a phrase or a sentence that I want to write about later. Then I get distracted with something else and forget to write down the thoughts that I had … Continue reading Service as We Look Toward the Twilight Years
I had a friend that went through a messy situation for a little bit because of an incident that happened in a moment in time.

The thing I think about with … Continue reading Help Others See Through the Tradition
I was talking to my cousin today about some disturbing situations going on around the world. I told her that I have turned the news off. I miss the days when Walter Cronkite reported the news. He did it without a bigoted agenda twinkling in his eye. He simply read the news. You have to … Continue reading God’s Peace Looks Like Comfort
God has given us His Word as a guide for how we are to live out our Christian walk and how we are to follow the model that Jesus lived out for us. He has also given us the gift of the Holy Spirit to guide us in that walk.
A bitter sweet memory popped up on my phone this morning. It was a blurry picture of a little girl being trailed by a dog. When we first moved to the little white house with the black shutters, there was a neighborhood dog that adopted us. The dog actually belonged to a family that lived a … Continue reading His Eye is Not Only on the Sparrow
Sunday Blessings! Do you ever feel unseen, like you are part of the woodwork, like no one knows your name? Take this to heart. You are known. You are known by the Creator of the universe.
