“And the Lord will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them.” Deuteronomy 28:13 There is a popular television evangelist that made this scripture...

Perception
I love old churches. The architecture, the history, the beauty. Since childhood they have held my fascination. Several times I have taken trips just to go look explore historic churches. Although I am not Catholic, I love those churches the most with stain glassed windows, statues and often little gift stores attached. Last night we... Continue Reading →
Deep Water
This passage has really been speaking to my soul over the past month. I just keep being drawn back to it again and again. Each time read it, I get another picture, another lesson that I can apply to my life. I believe that God is calling me to go deeper in Him. For years, ... Continue Reading →

Flowers are beautiful to look at, some have a pleasing fragrant; I have never understood them outside of their natural setting though. So I had to look up what was so special about daisies that made them my focus.... Continue Reading →
It has been a rough year at work, a lot of death has been happening. Some from natural causes, others for reasons of poor life choices. Some young, some old. 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 →
Love, life & growth
I am not generally a flower person, so when I can't get an image off my mind, and it's a flower, I take notice. This picture doesn't do justice to the vibrant colors that are portrayed in my mind, but it was the closest I could come to the type and colors of flower that... Continue Reading →
