I had three of my grandchildren with me, so decided to take the “easy way” up the hill. It is longer but the slope is less steep. Since I didn’t have any other adults with me, I thought it would be a better way to go, as it is still a struggle for me to... Continue Reading →
Reflect the Light
““You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light shine before men in such a way that they... Continue Reading →
The next step
“The mind of man plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps.” Proverbs 16:9 I keep thinking the hike will be easier. Today felt brutal., even though it is the same path I’ve been taking. Maybe it was the cool air as the sun was already beginning to set. My only goal is... Continue Reading →

Do not be dismayed
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”” Joshua 1:9 For a long time, I have lived with self-imposed limits that have kept me from pursuing what I knew God had placed in my heart. I... Continue Reading →
Make Disciples
“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,”Matthew 28:19 I was raised in church.
