“Standing close to Jesus' cross were his mother, his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. Jesus saw his mother and the disciple he loved standing there; so he said to his mother, “He is your son.” Then he said to the disciple, “She is your mother.” From that time the disciple...

Prayer from Psalms 118
I give thanks to You Lord, because You are good, and Your love is eternal. Let the people say, “His love is eternal.” Let the children of God say, “His love is eternal.” Let all who worship Him say, “His love is eternal.” In my distress, I have called to You Lord; You answered me...

The Valley
“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” Psalm 23:4 This passage immediately takes me back to Israel as we stood atop what is known as the Valley of Shadow of Death. The... Continue Reading →

“But you belong to God, my children, and have defeated the false prophets, because the Spirit who is in you is more powerful than the spirit in those who belong to the world.” 1 John 4:4 Too often, I see people giving the enemy too much credit. They sign over power to him that... Continue Reading →
Aggravation
My in-laws introduced me to the game Aggravation, similar to Sorry, it is played on a wooden board with marbles. Last year I finally broke down and bought me one. I didn’t consider the only time I would play is when company came into town as my husband doesn’t care for games outside of computer... Continue Reading →
Call upon the Name of the Lord
“As the scripture says, “Everyone who calls out to the Lord for help will be saved.”” Romans 10:13 Christianity is different from every other religion in that Jesus is the only way to God.
