As I continue in Philippians 4:8, as you see by the title, the word is lovely. We have many ideas of lovely. We admire beauty in people, places, things. Temporal. This picture above in four months will be slushie ice, mud and bare trees. Yet, we can find lovely here as well. Short side note,…

This word has been messing with me. I’ve done the concordance search. I’ve defined the word. And yet I’ve been sitting and staring at this word for a bit. And this occurs to me: “One thing I have asked from the Lord, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the…

The next word found in Philippians 4:8 is right. yesterday I was blocked and could not think of how to write this today. We all have our scales of justice. Each knows in his heart this is fair or conversely, this is not. Think how you look at the news today. What are your filters?…

Do you ever explain a story or explain your position only to have there be a pause? A quizzical eye? You can tell your delightful tale did not land as you hoped. A clarifying statement is then made and then there is the, ohhhhhh, sure. Yes. I get that. Wait a minute. So what you…

I have a friend whom God plucked out of the Mormon religion. She lives far from me, but every time I see her, I get to see her shine. God uses her story to minister to others powerfully. When people have questions about Mormonism, she can shed light on a complex subject. She has understanding…
