“And you shall be my people, and I will be your God.”” Jeremiah 30:22 The Israelites are God’s chosen people even though for the most part they rejected Jesus Christ.

Cycle
“Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man nor man of woman; for as woman was made from man, so man is now born of woman. And all things are from God.”1 Corinthians 11:11-12 God creates cycles. They all start in Him and end in Him. God made man. God made woman from... Continue Reading →

“addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart,”.

Consistently
“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 I admit consistency has never been a strong point for me. These Scriptures with the words “always”, “without ceasing” and “in all circumstances” are a challenge for me. Yet, despite... Continue Reading →
Casting My Cares
“casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:7 Today I am feeling overwhelmed with my cares and some anxiety related to Tim leaving for New Mexico.
