Wednesday Wisdom
Bible It’s simple, really. Reading Proverbs this morning, I saw it clearly. Following God involves two simple commands: “Love My Word”, and “Live it.” Sometimes we try to complicate it, but these simple words of wisdom from Proverbs are a great reminder for us today. Study His Word. There is nothing in this world more life-changing that… Continue reading Wednesday Wisdom
Morning Sounds
Christianity “Can I go outside after I fix my attitude?” ~~Annabelle, 2 The clock is ticking. The birds are chirping. The coffee is brewing. A new day dawns. It’s good to be home.

When Your Well Runs Dry
Bible No, really. We have a well. And it’s dry. Again. This has been a particularly dry year for us and while having a well seems almost… romantic. Almost. I can assure you that running out of water doesn’t come close to making the “Top Ten Ways to Romance Your Wife”. Wishing my husband would “woo” me… Continue reading When Your Well Runs Dry

I was at work looking out my office window, on a slightly overcast day. I couldn’t believe what… Continue reading His Banner Over Me is Love — grateful, yet grieving
Ground Foolishness
By Elizabeth Prata Though you pound the fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain, His foolishness still will not leave him. (Proverbs 27:22) Proverbs is interesting. I don’t usually know what they mean, though. They take time to unearth the nuggets of wisdom embedded in each and every one. I read the verse above… Continue reading Ground Foolishness
Sunday Stillness – Isaiah 35:2.
Sunday Stillness – Isaiah 35:2 Finally this week I planted my garden. This spring has been cold, rainy and it hasn’t been the right time to get outside and plant. I had a wonderful time. I love getting my hands into the dirt. I never use gloves. On the other hand, my hubby hates to put… Continue reading Sunday Stillness – Isaiah 35:2.
