“For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are saved it is the power of God.” 1 Corinthians 1:18 If I stop and really try to rationalize the cross, it makes no sense. It seems absurd - one man reconciling all men back to God. Jesus... Continue Reading →
“So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.” Romans 10:17 I read some more recently about how modern churches tend to pick out a few scriptures and develop a message around them. But also how the foundation of Christianity full chapters of books would be read aloud in ministry to the... Continue Reading →
The Grace Room - The blessings that the Lord gives are undeserved by me and yet because of His unconditional and unfailing love He bestows them on me anyway. I am thankful for the blessing of my family Tim, the kids, the grandbabies, my parents, siblings, aunties, cousins, my inlaws, my nieces and nephews. I'm... Continue Reading →
I remember the first time I felt that still small voice say “Be still.” Standing still was hard enough, it takes intention on my part to not move. I know it wasn’t my body that needed to be be still, but instead God needed me to quiet my soul so I could hear from Him.... Continue Reading →

I see this each time we take a drive down I25. A long patch of green in the middle of the desert. I recognize it as the path where the Rio Grande runs. It is not trees like I am used to, but there is vegetation close to the source of water, or where water... Continue Reading →
I grew up around a lake, not a river. I spent most of my childhood at the lake, jumping off the cliffs or just walking straight into the water. What we are familiar with shapes our understanding of the Bible; we can not picture what we don't know. Tonight as I was in Bible Study... Continue Reading →
“And He said to them, “Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.” Matthew 17:20 So this scripture...

“Wide open spaces” These three words woke with me this morning. I thought about the scenery I have taken in during drives with my husband since moving to New Mexico. Wide open spaces. No people around. No noise. Nothing but land and sky as far as the eye can see. I thought about the old... Continue Reading →
“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.” Isaiah 60:1 As I read this Scripture, there was a longing in my heart for something I have never seen. A sunrise in New Mexico. My husband is heading there for a job next week and I... Continue Reading →
