Matthew 6:34 So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today. None of us are promised tomorrow, and yet many times we spend today looking back at yesterday or worrying about tomorrow. In doing so we miss out on today. Recently my youngest daughter turned eighteen. I... Continue Reading →
The other day I met an interesting young woman who was good at taking notice. Our conversation was interesting as she attempted to analyze my handwriting, then attempted to analyze me. Many things she said were quite accurate, and not easily known. Other things were way off. What stuck me about our conversation is that... Continue Reading →
Imagine for a moment, that "I just simply love you" that was the thought that came to me as I was walking on the treadmill this morning. I admit I was looking at the over-sized card that my husband bought me for Valentine's Day, that I didn't appreciate. I hung it up, as a token... Continue Reading →
February 1, 2015 , we celebrated Jersey Sunday, aka Super Bowl Sunday. Everyone was invited to wear their favorite jersey. I am not a die-hard football fan, so I don't have "a team" and I was headed to work, so a jersey really would not have been appropriate. It was cool to see people representing... Continue Reading →

Mark 2:1-12 And again He entered Capernaum after some days, and it was heard that He was in the house. Immediately many gathered together, so that there was no longer room to receive them, not even near the door. And He preached the word to them. Then they came to Him, bringing a paralytic who was carried... Continue Reading →
James 1:2-8 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without...

I have a distorted image of what an idol is. I think of the Buddah with the belly that you rub for good luck. I think of teenage girls swarming some popular singer or actor that is the next big thing. I think of people praying to images, the sun, the moon, etc. I think... Continue Reading →
