If God were not Omnipotent, then would it fall to meTo hold the stars in heaven and the water in the sea?To bring the summer sunshine and cause everything to grow,To dress the trees for autumn and then send the winter snow?But if He has sufficient strength to keep the stars in line,Then surely He…

Re-Minding
Last week, when I was so full of grief, I couldn’t function at all. It wasn’t until a questioning, “Meow?” at 5:30 in the morning made me leap from bed. I had completely forgotten to feed the cats the night before! Their bowls were licked clean. Heaping praise upon my good kitties for not waking…
Psalm 27, Part 1
The Lord is my light and my salvation; I will fear no one.The Lord protects me from all danger; I will never be afraid.2 When evil people attack me and try to kill me, they stumble and fall.3 Even if a whole army surrounds me, I will not be afraid;even if enemies attack me, I will still trust God.7 Hear me, Lord, when…
March!
“March bustles in on windy feet And sweeps my doorstep and my street. She washes and cleans with pounding rains, Scrubbing the earth of winter stains.

Ash Wednesday
By the sweat of your brow you will eat your fooduntil you return to the ground, since from it you were taken;for dust you are and to dust you will return.” Genesis 3:19 New International Version (NIV) Life is real! Life is earnest! And the grave is not its goal; Dust thou art, to dust returnest, Was not…
Sunrise
It was not quite 6 AM that Sunday, but I was already awake (and not just because Hunter was calling outside my door). I was reading in the living room when brightness in the east caught my eye. The sunrise was sending a beautiful herald of dawn. For many minutes the color grew, filling first…
What is “Enough?”
The study guide read, “If it turns out that God is real and you can ask Him one question, what would it be?” The small group offered answers, but one stood out. “I would ask if I have done enough. If I have been good enough.” In spite of knowing Jesus most of my life,…
Great Idea!
I’ve learned so much from my mistakes, that I’m thinking of making a few more. – Unknown
