With Christ, we are a new creation and have direction. It is only through His grace and loveContinue reading “Broken Vessels”

We are coming upon Fathers Day and I am reminded of my dad. He grew up in the hills of Eastern Kentucky which is where he met his high school sweetheart and married her, my mom. My father would say he did not have very much when he was growing up. Most of us wouldContinue reading “Anyone?”

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6 The other day, I heard a story that explains how to capture a monkey.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take.” Proverbs 3:5-6 Every time you look at the news it seems as though that the times of unrest never cease.

Lobsters! They are interesting looking creatures, aren’t they? They have a tail, two claws, 6 legs, and 4 antennas. They have their skeleton on the outside–an exoskeleton.

It becomesContinue reading “Be a Lobster!”

14 Do all things without grumbling or disputing; 15 so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world, I am one of four boys. I remember at one point my brothers and I were all involved in sports at theContinue reading “Un-Thanked and a Light!”

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; Times are a little chaotic for some of us right now. They are definitely uncertain.

“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.” All my life i was taught that he cuts off and gets rid of every branch that bearsContinue reading “Lift Up”

In this time of uncertainty, we all have to extend a little grace to each other, as well as to ourselves. We all make mistakes and in tenuous times, probably more so. But what is grace? Webster’s Dictionary has many definitions for grace. Some of them include mercy, pardon, a virtue coming for God, reprieve,Continue reading “Grace … What is it?”

So…. here we are, inside our homes. These are uncertain times. We’re not sure of what’s coming or what might happen. We don’t even know if our job will still be here in the next few weeks, or if we’ll be able to find a job if it’s already gone. Our children can’t play withContinue reading “Anxiety, Confusion, Fear, … and Comfort!”
