I’m a happy camper. I did not do it but I pointed to Jesus (not everyday and not always well). I was relentless to practice following Jesus regardless of my circumstances. I carried a role that scripture does not assign. An apathetic leader can confuse young Christians in a home. A divided home has divisive…

That is the first thing I wrote in my journal after arriving to church. It was unrelated to any message, song, or interaction other than my favorite pastime – people watching. I’m looking around the church (more difficult when sitting near the front) but I’ll be praying for people after service so I need to…

There is always something to do. If you don’t know what to do – I’ve heard – do the dishes. I Kings 11 makes a few suggestions. Here is a compilation: heed all that I command you, walk in my ways, do the right things, keep my statutes like King David did – then –…

The sweetest thing in the world is to see an elderly couple holding hands. Another sweet thing is a dad crossing the street with a little one in tow. I was near a freeway overpass today and she was tiny and distracted. Dad had a can of paint in one hand and daughter securely in…

Psalm 46:10 reads, “Be still, and know that I AM God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth”. 2 Sam 22:50, again, “For this I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations, and sing praises to your name”. What do these two verses have in common? Always,…

It is currently 82 degrees outside and 81 degrees in my home. Sun on three sides and no air-conditioning but this is Seattle. I have an older stone/cement birdbath that now supports a flowering pot. It is old and beautiful but now leaking from years of supporting happy birds. (I may have a photo from…

We have all reacted with emotion at Peter’s denial of Jesus before the crucifixion. We don’t think we would do the same. How could Peter live with Jesus, see the miracles in person, and become empowered, himself, to cast out demons, then deny all that? How brave was Peter? That question is for every follower…

I’m enjoying the holiday weekend at my sewing machine. It is a summer marathon doing my bit for WatsonandMayberry.com, my daughter’s brilliant shop. She is every bit the creative genius and I’m sewing dresses from her fabric pics and the pattern she likes. I am also inventive but not to this degree. She has been…

What if God behaved like us? We function on a need-to-be basis. If we need to behave a certain way in a certain place – we do. Example: we are speeding down the freeway and see a police car ahead. Most drivers tap on their brakes. When the coast is clear we tap on the…

It has been about six years. I was nervous like a newby. Last week was for spiritual health and this week is getting back to strengthening activities. Because I am a germaphobe, I quit the gym to avoid covid or at least gain a layer of protection. People sweat in gyms so no matter how…
