It’s a holiday weekend here in the U.S. My eyes have tears and my throat is tight as I thank my God for the gift of living here. I have read many times on Facebook and blogs about how we U.S. Christians are “persecuted.” Hogwash! We don’t know the meaning of that word and we…
The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. Deuteronomy 28:12 (NIV) We have attempted to have an online Bible study for the past four weeks and have only succeeded on…
Henry and I have been wanting to be a part of an online Bible study for some time. I, frankly, have forgotten how doing something “new” does have its time of working out the kinks. I hope those of you who have been interested will stick with this as it will be a wonderful study…
The past two weeks have been an “industrial strength” blessing and is one of the reasons why I love this new career of publishing that God brought me into ten years ago. My previous career was as a Registered Nurse for over 30 years. The best season of that career was the 12 years in…
I have a feeling that this week’s lectionary texts are going to bring the best discussion yet! Please read the four passages and give them a bit of thought before you sign in next Monday night.

But we will continue forward and Henry and I are excited to see who joins us every week and what God will teach us all! Next Monday evening our opening questions will be: Can we,…

Here are the texts for our first week: Isaiah 55:10-13 Psalm 119:105-112 Romans 8:1-11 Matthew 13:1-23 Opening Question: How does God speak…
Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing near by, he said to his mother, “Dear woman, here is your son, and to the disciple, “Here is your mother. From that…
“…if you want to know the Bible, there is no quick plan, no shortcuts, no easy osmosis method. You need to spend time with it. Prayerfully examine your priorities. If you are a parent, consider what you want to teach your children. Do you want them to think that Bible study is important? Study it….
When you live your life and every day involves pain, physical excruciating pain, some might say that isn’t much of a life. I have been told God would not want me to live with pain and, with faith, should ask and expect God to heal me. I do believe that God desires that I have…
