Sometimes the things you can't see help you see more clearly!
I talk about summer camp from time to time here. It truly was my favorite place in the whole world when I was a child and a teenager. When I was at summer camp, I never wanted to leave. I still have friends that I met at summer camp. There were prayers that started in … Continue reading Help Others Be a Light in the World
Sunday Blessings! Sunday is a good day to talk about God’s Word. In the first chapters of Deuteronomy Moses was reminding the people of all God had done for them and encouraging them to remain strong in the Lord. Then in chapter six he outlined specifically the ways they were to care … Continue reading Light to the Pathway
The treadmill is coming home! Back a few years ago mom wanted a recumbent bike like the one they had at Rehab. I took my (beloved) treadmill to my brother‘s house and I bought mom a recumbent bike that was also a combination elliptical. She never liked the bike because it wasn’t similar enough to … Continue reading Walk in the Light: Think Good, Positive Thoughts – Do Good, Positive Things
Peace seems like an elusive object these days. It should not be for those that follow Jesus. He promised us peace…not the kind of peace the world would give us. The peace that Jesus gives is not really able to be explained in human terms. It slips from our grasp from time to time because … Continue reading Keep the Focus Where it Needs to Be

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. There were words said on both sides that probably shouldn’t have been said. There were hurt feelings, maybe on both sides, but undeniably on one side more than the other. … Continue reading Help Me See Understanding in the Wisdom
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
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.
