Searching
I love when I get revelation in an unconventional message, especially when I am searching for it somewhere else. I was laying in my hammock after work, listening to the birds sing God's praises that never ceased. I was enjoying the light glistening in the leaves contemplating how those little flickers of light represent the... Continue Reading →
The last miracle before death
Friday was Good Friday. My husband and I watched Mel Gibson's 2004 movie, The Passion of the Christ.

Some with support around, others alone and seemingly forgotten by the world, other than a paid caregiver. Sometimes I find myself praising God that their... Continue Reading →
Missing information
Each year I try to do a Read Through the Bible in Year plan, in addition to other Bible studies that I might do. I have also tried to change the version that I read each year for the past four or five years, because I realized that I often "knew" a verse, even through... Continue Reading →
