Can’t Dull My Shine
It occurred to me (though this isn’t the first time) that not everyone walking with you is with you for the right reasons. Not everyone in your circle is your friend. Judas Iscariot followed Jesus…but wasn’t his true friend (or … Continue reading

Be the Church!

“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23).” Let’s face it… we’ve done a lot more than simply “missed the mark!” We’ve blown it big time. In fact, we weren’t even aiming for “the mark.” We had no interest in … Continue reading

“And he said, Cursed [be] Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren (Gen. 9:25).” This was Noah speaking to his son, Ham. The error was Ham’s but the curse was upon his son. Imagine that. I’d … Continue reading
Sin
Sin. It’s just nasty. There’s nothing cute about it. We can wrap it and put a colorful bow around it but it’s still sin. It causes us to hate for no reason when we should love. It makes us arrogant … Continue reading
Thanking God for Another Year
It’s my birthday, it’s my birthday! I’m grateful for another year! Every day above ground is a good day! I’m thankful for another birthday. I’m thankful that I’m in my right mind (and I think my husband will confirm), thankful … Continue reading
