Happy Thanksgiving
A Very Blessed Thanksgiving to You! I pray the joy of the Lord is yours now and always.
Give Thanks to the Lord
Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! His faithful love endures forever. Give thanks to the God of gods. His faithful love endures forever. Give thanks to the Lord of lords. His faithful love endures forever. Psalm 136:1-3
No One Thought to Thank Him – Will You?
Solomon wrote in Ecclesiastes 1:9, What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. We live in a time of ever-changing and developing technology. I often wonder what my grandparents would think of today’s world. However, Solomon wrote – nothing is original. We may be…
Psalm 33 – Praise the Lord
Let the godly sing for joy to the Lord; it is fitting for the pure to praise Him. Praise the Lord with melodies on the lyre; make music for Him on the ten-stringed harp. Sing a new song of praise to Him; play skillfully on the harp, and sing with joy. For the word of the Lord holds true, and…
Sharing – The Power of We
I’ve seen the power of “we” in action. Oh, I’ve known its truth for a long time, but seeing it played out is huge. You know it too. You know that when individuals join together to make a difference big things happen. Look at the impact October pink has on us. Everywhere you look men…
Would You Rather be a Slave or Emancipated
Isn’t it obvious? Who wants to be a slave? Held captive? Oppressed? Subjugated? No one. Every one of us wants freedom. Liberty. Choices. However, we foolishly bind ourselves to the most foolish things thinking they will offer happiness and fulfillment. You are a slave to whatever controls you. 2 Peter 2:19 So, the…

Are you a fan of seasons? Of change? Some changes are met with enthusiastic anticipation, others not so much…. Whatever happens we have the certain presence of a changeless God. The One who assures us of His love, His grace, and His mercy. Always faithful. Always forgiving. Always true. I am the Lord, I do…
Would You Rather be Rich or Happy
I know most people think that rich and happy are synonyms. But the truth is wealth is no predictor of happiness. It may make it easier to accumulate stuff, but stuff doesn’t guarantee happiness. So, what do you think? If you had to choose, would you rather be rich or happy? Did you know that…
Psalm 9
I will praise You, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things You have done. I will be filled with joy because of You. I will sing praises to Your name, O Most High. Psalm 9:1-2 The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know Your…
Would You Rather be Wise or Famous
With so many people chasing after fame and fortune through reality television, I thought it might be interesting to ask – would you rather be wise or famous? So that we can be sure we are on the same page let’s look at the dictionary definitions of each. Wise – Having the ability to discern…
The Secret to Having Peace at Home
Do you dream about peace? World peace would be wonderful, but you’d be happy with a little peace at home. Imagine what it would be like if only . . . The kids would stop fighting. Your spouse would be more encouraging. Your house would magically clean itself, and the laundry was always fresh and…
The Blessing of I’m Sorry
When Rev and I were first married, I would take every little thing that happened to hurt my fragile feelings for whatever reason and hold it tight. Then I would let these little slights pile up one on top of the other. Until . . . I would melt in a puddle of tears and…
