Bible Unfinished projects lurking in the corner. To-do list covered with stacks of mail. Half-written posts hanging in the balance. Piled up papers wait to be filed. Clothes in a sewing basket beckoning a needle. And all I want to do is hold my grandbabies. Laugh with my husband. And spend time with my Savior. Weeping away… Continue reading Just.BE.

Is America under judgment?
By Elizabeth Prata “America seems ripe for judgment”… The discerners of the church body have been saying ‘judgment in America’ for a while. I know I have. In 2010 I’d written that America seemed to have passed the “point of no return. Before the Economic Crash of 2008, all had been going along like it… Continue reading Is America under judgment?
What really matters in life as Christians
Being a Christian does not excuse us from doing many things to survive. We still work and fulfill our roles at home and in the church. We become so busy with so many things that sometimes we forget what matters in life. As we become Christ’s followers and discover more about His words, our priorities… Continue reading What really matters in life as Christians
If You Give A Mom a Minute
Encouragement If you give a Mom a minute, she might just take a breath. And though she could spend it on herself, she will probably do laundry.

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

As the morning sounds chime, I am faced with a decision. How will I spend the next 24 hours? This day. This… Continue reading Morning Sounds
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
He Loves Me Anyway
Christianity It’s amazing, really. We take this word, “love”, and we define it in so many ways. There are love languages and love stories and love ballads. It has got to be one of the most talked about words in the English vocabulary. And we still don’t fully grasp it’s meaning. I heard this song… Continue reading He Loves Me Anyway
