Sometimes the things you can't see help you see more clearly!
I am blessed and proud to be a citizen of the United States of America. I still get chills when I hear our national anthem. I was raised in a day when we began our school days with a prayer—to God—and the Pledge of Allegiance. We would sing, “This Land Is Your Land,” and, “America … Continue reading How Does It Look to Be a Heavenly Citizen in an Earthly Body?
I don’t think that I would consider myself a perfectionist. There are too many things that get left undone sometimes for me to consider myself a perfectionist. My brothers, on the other hand, may consider me a perfectionist. There have been numerous times, back in the day, when each of them, at one time or … Continue reading Can We Get a Look at Perfection
I have been blessed enough to be able to travel quite a bit throughout my lifetime. I have experienced different countries, different cultures and different customs. I have been able to experience worship in different ways also. It is interesting to see different traditions in churches around the world. 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.

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

Not only does He know your name, He is the One Who created you. Always know that … Continue reading Look for the Fingerprints of God
Good grief Gracie! This is one crazy world we are living in! There does not seem to be a place to hide from the insanity. Truth seems like an extremely rare commodity. How did it change so much in, just, the past fifty-plus years? Fifty-plus years ago I was running around the mountainsides, swinging out over the ravine on … Continue reading Looking Toward My Place of Refuge
I mentioned an unusual name, Marycushion, a couple of days ago. I suppose I could tell you how that name came to be. We were living in Kentucky, and I was a senior in high school. So the name has been around for a long time. My mom‘s cousin, her husband and four children had … Continue reading Visualize Sharing
I have been looking at some old photo albums the past few days. I was looking for some pictures of the house I grew up in for a future post. Old pictures make me smile. They also bring up old memories and places that make you think about the paths you have taken in life … Continue reading What is the Vision of Your Heart?
