Wisdom
June 25, 2013
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.”[a] 20 Where is the wise? Where is … More Wisdom
Learning to rejoice
June 18, 2013
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 New King James Version (NKJV) I’m working on this one too. I discovered that when I stop and thank God for everything, it does alleviate some grief! For example, when I … More Learning to rejoice
157
June 18, 2013
Some people have favorite numbers: Mine is 157. That is what I hope to weigh one day. Yes, it’s not super-thin, but I’m tall and of German descent, so I can handle it. And here’s a 1 -5-7 scripture memory verse: Casting all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you. — 1 Peter … More 157
I am happy to be NARROW MINDED
May 22, 2013
I came across this pic today. They make it sound like narrow-minded is a bad thing. Jesus said, “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.” -Matt 7:13 Being narrow-minded is a good thing. Making sure … More I am happy to be NARROW MINDED
Imagine
May 8, 2013
Last night, I heard a young man sing “Imagine”, the song made famous by John Lennon. The lyrics really gripped me as I understood what they really mean. Link to original lyrics: http://www.lyrics007.com/John%20Lennon%20Lyrics/Imagine%20Lyrics.html Oh, it sounds pretty….. BUT What if we really look at this in Spirit and Truth? Imagine there’s no heaven –- Why … More Imagine
Where Jeremiah and “The Harbinger” Met This Morning
April 5, 2013
I was reading the last few chapters of the book of Proverbs today. (Don’t you just love reading Proverbs 31 and going, oh yeah, that’s me, ah, that’s not me, that’s me, that’s not me….) Then I flipped some pages over and landed on Jeremiah 36. I hadn’t read it in a while. In this passage, The … More Where Jeremiah and “The Harbinger” Met This Morning
So what’s new?
March 5, 2013
Another day of craziness here. I skipped Bible Study today, because I really need to help Hubby, aka Mr. Porter to you. 😉 Upcoming trip to Boston, I need to wash my clothes and pack. Still working on that. We spoke to the Real Estate Lady, we will be looking at apts. Done. Meanwhile, we … More So what’s new?

Leave Your Gift at the Altar
January 13, 2013
Yesterday, I had lunch at the diner with my husband and another couple. We stayed for quite a long time, chatting and catching up on the news. It wasn’t until we were out in the car that I realized that we had been there almost 2 hours. We had left a 20% tip, as we … More Leave Your Gift at the Altar
So they lowered him down through the roof
October 22, 2012
Yesterday, our guest speaker at church spoke about the story in the gospel of Matthew Chapter 9 . This is the one where Jesus is speaking at someone’s house and draws a big crowd. There are people in the doorways and windows. There is a man who is paralyzed, on a bed/stretcher/mat ( I guess wheelchairs … More So they lowered him down through the roof
Windy
October 12, 2012
My “homework” for my writing class was a choice between two things. First, using the lyrics from the song “Windy” write something. Second choice, quotes from the movie “Gone with the Wind.” I decided to put the homework sheet aside, and see what turned up. I figured lots of folks would decide to write about the leaves … More Windy
Shrinking Mountains
February 20, 2012
Lest we forget, God has quite a sense of humor. On more than one occasion, I’ve had a problem that I saw as an immovable mountain. When I asked for help, God gave me a BIGGER mountain, which made the first problem look like nothing. Not exactly the answer I was looking for…. But the … More Shrinking Mountains
A different kind of Hero
January 5, 2012
Sometimes a leader is not the one at the head of the line. Sometimes a leader is the one who stands off to the side, away from the crowd, alone, and says, “No.” It’s not the bully who leads the gang to victimize a kid, it’s the one who steps in and stops it that … More A different kind of Hero

“No weapon that is formed against you will prosper; And every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their vindication is from Me,” declares the LORD. Isaiah 54:17 NASB Obviously, this speaks of the Spirit Realm, not the natural realm. Remember Jesus … More Today’s Good News
Last Night’s Dream
June 9, 2011
What if Lazarus had been in the tomb, not 4 days, or 4 months, not even 4 years, but 4 decades? What is the cut-off point for God to do a miracle? I dreamed last night that I prayed for several deceased family members to come back to life: My Uncle, my grandmother on my … More Last Night’s Dream
One thing that God CAN’T do…
May 19, 2011
There is one thing that God can’t do. LIE. It is impossible for God to lie. The Book of Hebrews, Chapter 6, verse 18 tells us “..that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the … More One thing that God CAN’T do…
