I heard a song a couple of days ago that I think is perfect for any time, but certainly is timely. It's a Good News message - we are made in the image of God! Imago Dei. No other creature can make that claim. Mainly because they don't have the brain capacity or development to … Continue reading “Beautiful Shades of Love”
Why I Left Facebook…(It’s nothing personal)
Sorry to use the trite breakup phrase but, "It's not you, it's me." I'm aware that there are plenty of good things about Facebook, but I'm also aware of some not so great things, too. For me, the main reason I decided to end this relationship is because it wasn't fostering real relationships with my … Continue reading Why I Left Facebook…(It’s nothing personal)
The Light at the End of the Tunnel
Hey, everybody! So, I had a Zoom meeting with my grad thesis advisor yesterday and...we have a winner! He has signed off on my 71 page thesis! And now the other member of my committee has it and is proofreading it. We are praying (won't you join me?) that he merely reads for grammar/punctuation type … Continue reading The Light at the End of the Tunnel
Mercy
We don't hear much about mercy anymore. Have you noticed that? I find that disappointing and worry that we don't hear the word because most people no longer practice mercy or know what it really means. Mercy has to do with compassion and with grace. Remember compassion, anyone? And who knows what grace means these … Continue reading Mercy
The Joy of the Lord
My brother, Mike, transitioned to heaven a year ago yesterday. The drawing that sits on top of this blog entry was one he drew many years ago. Many family members and friends now have a copy because Mike drew it and because it's a laughing, joyful Jesus, which we all love to contemplate. Just look … Continue reading The Joy of the Lord
More like Jesus
I heard this song this morning (video below). My new grandson and his mommy (our daughter-in-law) have been staying with us and will be here another week and a half. Such a JOY for my husband and me. While our son, the new dad, is off doing the nation's business (he's a Soldier and out … Continue reading More like Jesus
“There Was Jesus”
So, first of all, I have to say that Dolly Parton is an amazing performer who sounds just like she did 30 years ago. She adds so much to the song, There Was Jesus, by Zach Williams. Give a listen if you haven't heard it yet. I love it! Zach said that this song is … Continue reading “There Was Jesus”
Teach Your Children*
When I observe with some consternation and much concern the wanton destruction of some of America's cities, I cannot help but wonder about the parents of these young people. Are their parents dismayed? Are they filled with regret for the ways they indulged or refrained from disciplining their offspring? Or are they wondering how their … Continue reading Teach Your Children*
A Blessing
The video below begins with a beautiful blessing from the Book of Numbers (6:24-26). It's a favorite Old Testament Scripture passage. It's some of the last words I ever uttered in an 'official Army wife' speech. It was my husband's retirement luncheon and I was pleased to be given an opportunity to share my thanks. … Continue reading A Blessing
Love God, Love People
So I heard this song today on Sirius XM, the Message. It's a wonderful song that breaks it all down to the most basic level. This is it, folks! Listen/read the lyrics and the Scripture quote below it on the YouTube site. That's all there is, according to the Savior of the World, Jesus Christ. … Continue reading Love God, Love People
