I open my Bible to Joshua Chapter 3, where I see a beautiful picture of Christ in the life of Joshua, as he embarks on His mission. The Hebrew name Yehoshu (Joshua) is an alternative name for Yeshua (Jesus). And God says to Joshua, “Today I will begin to exalt...

And I saw that all toil and all achievement spring from one person’s envy of another. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. Fools fold their hands and ruin themselves. Better one handful with tranquility than two handfuls with toil and chasing after the...

It’s been about a year now since I realized how much I love fiddle leaf trees. One day I was sitting there watching a home decor show, and there it was–the most incredible plant I’ve ever laid eyes on, sitting in a corner of the room. Fiddle leafs...

Click to watch & turn volume up To say that the kids love my homemade chicken noodle soup is a bit of an understatement, but I have to say that no one loves it more than our granddaughter Julia. In fact, a spoon isn’t fast enough for that little girl. At...

Our youngest grandchild is growing fast. Born on New Years Day 2021, makes him 7 months old–almost 8. Old enough to roll, old enough to let us know when he wants something, but not quite old enough to put his feelings into words. Some days I know. I know he...

I’ve been a laundry fanatic this month. I’m not sure what’s gotten into me, but I can’t seem to get enough of that fresh line-dried smell. I’ve washed two sets of sheets, 10 little dresses, an adorable sweater, and a ton of my clothes in...

Reading through Luke Chapter 7, I come to the last verse where I read, And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace. (Luke 7:50, KJV) Her faith? I had to pause to think about that for a moment. Certainly, I saw her love in that chapter, after...

I heard something in church one day that served as a gentle reminder to abide in the vine. “I was seeking after the fruit of the Spirit,” she said, “when I realized that seeking God was all that I needed to do.” How many times do I need to be reminded of that before...

A.W. Towzer once said, “For the Christian, humility is absolutely indispensable. Without it there can be no self-knowledge, no repentance, no faith and no salvation.” I suppose that’s why Jesus spoke well of the centurion in Luke Chapter 7, saying,...

I open my Bible to Joshua 4, where I see 12 men who have just crossed over the Jordan River, hauling stones, and I get to wondering what that’s all about. I’m reminded of a little obsession I had few years back, when I started collecting big rocks. My kids...

Reading Luke Chapter 6, I come to verse 20. And just like the multitude that pressed close to see and to hear, I open my ears to God’s Word. And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are ye...
