I’ve recently written about the woman who snuck up behind Jesus out of desperation. She was unclean from a many-year issue of blood. She is, for me, a model of hope and never giving up. I have been looking to her example for years and you know who I’m talking about. I’m currently reading ‘Gospel…

The Day After Easter
I imagine that the day after Easter is quite busy for the devil. He knows scripture and that when Jesus comes again he will be cast into hell. The devil has no power over God but he tries to exert power over men and women, boys and girls. He will try to convince people that…
Go Sit on the Porch
It is odd how we landmark terrible events like covid. I’m remembering a short-term missions trip that took place B.C. (before covid). We were in the Appalachians in West Virginia. So many happy memories from that group of believers who believed that we could make a difference by serving a community in the name of…
I’m Leaving Town
As we approach Good Friday and Easter, there are many reminders of Jesus and His sacrifice for each and every one of us. There are extra faith-based messages via email. This is a high Holy Week for the followers of Jesus. There isn’t time enough in a day to read everything that appears interesting but…
Martha’s Mad Skills
I wonder if Martha Stewart was named for Mary’s sister in the biblical account from the gospels? I’ve never viewed Martha as a bad guy. Jesus did correct her but He corrects me too. He wanted her to stop fussing. A detailed account is found in John 11:1-44. Martha was probably a nice lady who…
God’s Biggest Week Is Here
I jumped to conclusions as I read the headlines. It actually said, “Golf’s’ biggest week is here”, but I’m not a great golfer. After a series of lessons (to improve my connection to someone) expecting to retire sometime, my instructor turned me down as a returning student with, “You should work on what I’ve already…
An Idea Day
From today’s Bible study on Heaven, to conversations, from reading and processing, and a zoom meeting, it has been a big idea day. Just a few mentions. The Devil in the Dentist Office. It wasn’t even the unlikely event that it would take three attempts to take one X-ray that irritated me but it was…
Isaiah 61
Today I was challenged by my missions friends to read this chapter and listen for what God wanted to say to me. The most obvious truth is that, “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, Because the Lord has anointed Me to…”. Nothing good comes from our efforts without the Spirit of the…
Send It to the Maker
I messaged those words to my sister who just sent a photo of herself and another lady at an event with the exact same cape. It was beautiful so I suggested she “send the photo it to the cape-maker”. The cape is rust and looks knitted with Navajo patterns – a standout – but what…
America the Beautiful
I think I must have killed one hundred bugs on my drive over the pass. It’s crazy that everyone is traveling 75 miles/hour when the posted speed is 55 for trucks and 65 for autos. I’m willing to drive 70 but that is my limit unless the posted limit is 70. I started the journey…
