I claim NO answers, just many thoughts!
“Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you: never will I forsake you.” So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?”
Hebrews 13:5-6
Miriam did not have […]
“Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.”
Genesis 40:23
First question: Did you read the above verse (or did you skip over it like I sometimes do when I read headings? LOL)? If you didn’t, then I ask you to read it.
Second question: Did it give you a sinking feeling, a pit-in-the-stomach ache? […]
The elders who direct the affairs of the church well are worthy of double honor, especially those whose work is preaching and teaching.
1 Timothy 5:17
Every week I blithely sit in church and listen to a sermon. No longer will I be so careless. Before I explain, let me give a qualifier: I am NOT writing […]
You know those get-to-know-you questionairre things that periodically come through email? Well, I don’t usually “do” them. However, today I crossed the line and filled out my first one. Why? I have a few theories. First, I drove home last night (so got home around 2:00 a.m.) and then got up at 6:30 in order […]
Well, I just realized how LONG it has been since I’ve written - sorry! Life has been good, and I have had many thoughts I could write about, but time right now is at a premium. Hopefully later this week I will be able to tell you some of my thoughts. For now, I thought […]

I cannot see you right now. I know some people who read this blog, but there are others who I don’t know. Whether I know you or not, I […]
Last week was VBS at our church, and we had a WONDERFUL time. Thank you to all who gave time and energy into this next generation! Since my role was primarily running the Opening and Closing programs, during the morning I had time to wander around watching the other groups and to talk with the […]
“I am a man of prayer.”
Psalm 109:4
Do you pray about everything? Every little thing? Would you be able to call yourself a “woman of prayer?” I know I talk about the importance of prayer, and I do honestly believe that prayer is vitally important. However, this past weekend I had many opportunities to practice what […]
Coincidence? Hmmm. I wonder…
Last week Tim and my dad took Miriam and Ryan on the annual YFC bike trip. They had a wonderful time. (Well at least my kids did. My father and Tim just keep saying that it was good, but I don’t know if I can truly trust them. How good can […]
“Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.”
Galatians 1:10
A few weeks ago we went camping in the Adirondacks with the Odells and Tim’s brother and family. Although […]
