Restricted Vision, Unburdened Sight
Sometimes the things you can't see help you see more clearly!
I was recently listening to a series of radio pod casts from two prominent pastors. Their messages were not really similar. One pastor was in the Gospels taking us to the cross. The other pastor was in Revelation talking about the seven churches. Somehow these two very different message themes combined to get me thinking about how we … Continue reading How is the Kingdom Visible to You?
I am looking forward to beginning a new Bible study this week. Meeting together with other believers as we honor God is refreshing. It is a spiritual growth process. We examine, study and learn individually throughout the week. Then we gather together and share what we have gleaned with others. Talking about our Lord with others … Continue reading Continue to Examine God’s Word
Happy Valentine’s Day y’all! Today is a quiet day for me. I personally think it is a good day to reflect on love. I am missing a big chunk of my heart on this particular Valentine’s Day. The sweet thing is that I am surrounded by family and friends that are trying hard to fill … Continue reading Looking at the Love That Never Fails
I mentioned going to lunch with my “very old friend“ yesterday. As we sat there, a number of people came in and out of the restaurant that I knew. But for the most part, we were surrounded by strangers that were unknown. We sat there catching up for probably two and a half hours. We … Continue reading Seeing God’s Table in a Different Light
I had a lunch date today with a very old friend. Well, I probably should not call her very old. Let’s just say that our friendship certainly has some age on it. Today’s spring like weather made it easy to get dressed for the day. I pulled a light sweater on over a tank top. … Continue reading Put on Love and Walk Out Into the Light
The sixty-five-year-old oak table was distressed in a way that depicted use—depicted life. One leg lurched from a long-ago break, steadied now by a flat stone tucked beneath it. Burn marks, water rings, scratches, scars, and discoloration covered its surface. And yet, beneath the browns, grays, and charcoal shadows of use and misuse, a hint … Continue reading No Need to Look Underneath
What does home look like to you? Are you from a large family or small family? Do you have tons of aunts and uncles and cousins, or just a few family members scattered here and there? Is your family close emotionally, in proximity? Do you spend time together? Do you stay in touch? What is … Continue reading The View of Our Heavenly Home
I have talked before on my blog about how my career path wound its way to where it ultimately ended. Most of the knowledge I gained throughout my career came through “on-the-job training.” I learned as I went, building a knowledge base that I carried with me as I moved forward. Midway through my career, … Continue reading Illuminated Understanding: From Knowledge to Wisdom
What does your day and night look like? Can you tell them apart? Since I’ve been trying to get my schedule realigned from the past couple of years of just winging it, sometimes it is hard for me to see where the day ends and the night begins. To say my sleep schedule is out … Continue reading From the Light of Day to the Dark of Night
Saturday Blessings! I wanted to share one of my favorite passages. It means so much and it has helped me through some rough days. I hope it blesses you too. “1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. 2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made … Continue reading I Will Lift My Eyes to the Hills
