Thank God for Spring
"I wish it could be spring every day," my niece commented. So do I, I thought. But being older, I am aware that if we did not have winter, we would take spring for granted like we do so many other things in our lives. God designed seasons for a reason, and I, for one,...
The Year of Vision? Maybe Not.
Most of my life, I have been blessed with great vision. In fact, in spite of being almost 47 years old, I still do not wear glasses or contacts, although I did buy a pair of glasses last fall to help me read the small print on pill bottles. I probably wouldn't have...
Fear Not Tomorrow

Are You Ready to Go?
Life is moving faster than it ever has before What tomorrow brings us isn't certain any more I grew up listening to this song from Evie, but I will say if this was true back in the 1970s, it's even more true now. Scrolling through Facebook, I caught an old Gaither...
Sins of Omission
I'm sure everyone is familiar with sins of commission. These are the sins that we willfully commit. Maybe we aren't mindful at the time that we are sinning or maybe we don't care, but they are the sins that can be seen. Sins of omission, on the other hand, are harder...
Wisdom of the Aged
Then King Rehoboam consulted the elders who stood before his father Solomon while he still lived, and he said, “How do you advise me to answer these people?” And they spoke to him, saying, “If you will be a servant to these people today, and serve them, and answer...
