I said, “I will guard my ways,
Lest I sin with my tongue;
I will restrain my mouth with a muzzle,
While the wicked are before me.”
I was mute with silence,
I held my peace even from good;
And my sorrow was stirred up.
 My heart was hot within me;
While I was musing, the fire burned.
Then I spoke with my tongue:

 “Lord, make me to know my end,
And what is the measure of my days,
That I may know how frail I am.
 Indeed, You have made my days as handbreadths,
And my age is as nothing before You;
Certainly every man at his best state is but vapor.
Psalms 39:1-5

As my husband drove me to work yesterday, he commented on a sign that said "QUICK DIVORCE." Those two words were followed by a telephone number. That was all the giant billboard said. Tim commented "you see signs like that for negative things all the time, but you never see signs by Christians for a... Continue Reading →

Freedom Choices

When I first came back to the Lord after walking away for seven years, I have to admit I defined my life in what "I can't do." You know "I can't drink." "I can't do drugs." "I can't have sex." I can't cuss." "I can't smoke." "I can't watch that." "I can't listen to that."... Continue Reading →

Signs

It is interesting to read old testament passages with the knowledge of what will happen. I was thinking, don't they get it? People asked for signs - and yet as big and bold as they would come it was not enough. Jeremiah spoke boldly about what would come. For the fact that he could have... Continue Reading →
