Great blog post this morning from Greg May (author, teacher, and fisherman), entitled Useless Bible Knowledge?. He tells of a conversation with someone who was interested in coming to a Men’s Bible Study that he does until the fellow found out that their discussions were about the application in their lives of what they learned…
A truly good wife is the most precious treasure a man can find! 11 Her husband depends on her, and she never lets him down. Proverbs 31:10-11 (CEV) And the Proverb goes on to say that this woman: is good to her husband every day makes her own clothes (and the cloth!) gets up before…
I have been troubled about the lessons that are being spouted about love throughout the media. There’s even a Christian online dating service that reminds us in its TV ad that God just might not be able to bring two people together and so people should put some of their own efforts into it and…
As 2012 winds down and I see 2013 rising up to meet me, it is that time of year to think about making a course correction that will produce “good”. At this time next year I want to be able to say, “Yes, this year was better than last year.” But making a change for…
It’s Saturday night and, like most weeks, my mind goes to the activities of tomorrow which includes the time I’ve been given to meet with a small group to study God’s Word. It’s an important hour in my week. In the interest of full disclosure, I have to confess that I didn’t always feel this…

Most parents would answer this question with something like: “Whatever it takes.” or “Anything.” But from my own experience and observation, I do not believe that is true. I am writing this as I look back over 30 years of being a mother, not to criticize but as I tell my children frequently, “Don’t make…
It has been awhile since I wrote a note here. Life has reminded me of carnival rides with the Tile-A-Whirl and roller coasters taking top prizes! The devotionals that I have written in the last few months have a discernible thread about trusting God on a daily basis. Trusting Him enough to allow Jesus to…
I wrote a devotion this week, My Expectations, that included the lectionary text, 2 Kings 5:1-14. It was only today that I took the time to read, slowly, Chapter 5 in its entirety. (sigh) The point of the devotion is that I need to obey God even when I can’t see the point of what…
My husband, Henry, and I have created a new Facebook page as a way for people to connect with us regarding our availability to teach or speak to groups. We would love to hear from you!
