If the Lord had not been on our side… I sit here this morning and it is quiet. The cats are on their perch watching. Tails are swishing slowly back and forth. There is almost a rhythm. Little Luna doesn’t have a rhythm, poor thing. There is no eloquence in her long, skinny legs and…

I realized today that my “newer” Bible does not have much marked in the book of Philippians. I am seeking to change this starting today. Bondman, Bondmaid: from deo, “to bind,” “a slave,” originally the lowest term in the scale of servitude, came also to mean “one who gives himself up to the will of another,”…

Today is a day where we slow down, get together, have barbecue, and celebrate summer is coming. This has always marked, for me, the turning of the season. It can be all those things, yes, but first, let us take a moment for Memorial Day. My dad, when we would all get together, would read…

•••this post is Romans 9:1-5, separated by concordance searches I did. You are most welcome to read on, but I’m posting this after Monday night so the woman can look for themselves at all the verses available. And I actually deleted some. This is the delight of studying Scripture using concordances. I highly recommend adding…

So, Joshua and I have been watching Survivor together. I haven’t watched this show since the first season and I have regrets now. Ha. I’m sure someone has done case studies, and studied the psychology. It is a fascinating study of human nature and the flesh, as Paul describes in Romans 8. I read somewhere…

Over night, I was woken by little dog whining which led me to be awake for a time. And I began to think about upcoming bills, things we need to cover financially and what if Joshua doesn’t find a job. What if. What if. Even if. Change the tapes. I have been working on Matthew…

Matthew 6 is part of Jesus’ longest sermon that it is believed, he spoke many times. He outlines three “when you’s” not really up for negotiation. When you give to the poor, when you pray and when you fast. Each of these are between you and the Lord. We are warned to not be like…

Over night, I began listening to some Bible to help me calm and fall back asleep. Here’s what happens so often, I’m listening and paying attention, and then something is said that triggers a worry in me. Then I stop listening and minutes later I realize I haven’t heard a word. Guys, last night this…

When we brought Luna home, we were not prepared for a puppy. I mean, we had the toys, the leash, etc., but we were not prepared for the energy and craziness. As she began to realize that there were things she could do, she also realized she had boundaries as well. We taught them. Starburst…
