Years ago, my young daughter and I went to Wal-Mart to pick up a few things. Since we didn’t have too many items, I decided to go through their self-checkout. I figured it would be much quicker since the store was very crowded. Ordinarily I might have been right, but I forgot to figure my […]
It has a purpose. I read something today by Oswald Chambers that really spoke to my heart. It was a passage in My Utmost for His Highest and I would like to share it with you, my friend. “If ever we are going to be made into wine, we will have to be crushed; you

Rahab: Waiting for redemption (Her story is found in Joshua 2-6) I’d like to take a moment to talk about something that a lot of people might not consider when reading Rahab’s story. Rahab was left waiting. I don’t know how long but some scholars said it could have been up to two weeks. Rahab

I thought about my interest in fires today as I studied about the fires that often come into a Christian’s life and wondered

I was recently reading the end of the gospel of Mark. Several verses in chapter fourteen caught my attention. It was telling the story about the last Passover Jesus celebrated with His disciples. He sent a couple of His disciples into the city to find a room for them to use to celebrate the Passover.
I am always amazed at how you can read a passage of Scripture many times and still have God point out something different to you each time. I have been reading chapter five in Luke which tells the story about a great catch of fish. Jesus was teaching from Peter’s boat and when He finished,
To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven. Ecclesiastes 3:1 One unseasonably warm day at the end of January, my daughter, who was four at the time, and I decided to take advantage of the nice weather by going for a walk. It was a lovely day and we
