The book of first John says that “God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.” That may be true. It sounds right to me. And yet…..God is in the darkness. I have walked through pitch dark tunnels in my life, I couldn’t see my hand in front of my face, let alone…

Rest
Good morning, beloved. I hope this finds you all resting in the love of our glorious Father. We can go through anything, go anywhere, and love anyone, when we rest in all that He is. I was reading Hebrews 4 this morning, and it seems that the difference between living in God’s rest and not…
Thoughts From a Former Zombie
My husband and I took a bike ride around the neighborhood this morning and I have a little blue tooth speaker that I put in my bicycle cupholder. I was listening to a song called “Graveclothes” by the band, Birdtalker. When I got home, I looked up the lyrics and I also looked up the…
Oh Death, Where is thy sting?
Today I have been thinking about death. Most of us have lost someone dear to us. Someone that we miss. I think that of all the difficulties I have had to face in my life, the death of someone close was the hardest. The darkest. It seems so final. The one you loved and cared…
Miracles
I hope you are ok if I am brutally honest with you. Some of you may think I’m a nice person. I like that. I like being thought of as a nice person who thinks of others, who has compassion, someone who’s thoughtful and all that stuff. Some of what I tell you will destroy…
More than
This morning, I was thinking about the people in the Bible through whom God spoke and worked, people who were really not the greatest people in their own eyes and most likely, not in the eyes of other people either. Jacob was a deceiver. David had a guy killed so that he could marry the…
It’s not up to us (thank God)
I don’t mean for these emails to be Bible lessons. Heck, I seriously just started reading the Bible again, after many years of letting it collect dust. But lately I’ve been seeing it with new eyes. Seeing it more correctly, I think. Not reading it because I should or because that’s what believers do. I’m…
For such a time as this
Lately I have been thinking of two things more than other stuff. Number 1. I need to stop waiting for something. This is the only day I have. These times are exciting in the world. They might seem dark and threatening, but if I see them for what they are, God’s glorious hand at work,…
What if…… (Changes in Attitude)
So, something happened last night that brought on the following thoughts. It was sort of my previous posts being brought into real life. 1. What if instead of saying, “Crap! I have to do _______!” We would say, “Wow! I get to do _______”. Instead of a chore, see it as a privilege. An honor….
How do I love ? (Follow up to “ALL”)
I have been thinking about what I wrote yesterday, and something else Jesus said came to mind. In John 15, Jesus says, “ 12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” When…
