The Better Part
“There is need of only one thing. Mary has chosen the better part and it will not be taken from her.” – Luke 10:42 I have often been more Mary than Martha. Prayer time is a priority for me. Or at least it was. Since this pandemic thing took control of our lives, my prayer… Read More ›
Do Not Be Afraid
So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. – Matthew 10:31 “So do not be afraid.” Jesus tells us that a lot. In fact it is in the Bible over 300 times. I guess God knows we need that reassurance. Do not be afraid. We are not alone even though it… Read More ›
Rest in Jesus
“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.” – Matthew 11:28 Oh, these words are so comforting right now. We are all laboring in one way or another. We are all burdened as well. We need rest and nothing in the secular world seems to help. Resting… Read More ›
Who is Jesus?
He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” – Matthew 16:15 Who do you say that Jesus is? Who do you know Jesus to be? Not just His name but who He is. I have related to Jesus in different ways throughout my spiritual journey. There are times when I have… Read More ›

It is a rainy day. We have had a lot of rainy days the past week or so. Today I saw a huge turtle walking around the other side of the lake. And there are a lot of ducks. Go figure. We left our quarantine and traveled the other day. A deacon’s wife had passed… Read More ›
Come, Holy Spirit
But I tell you the truth, it is better for you that I go. For if I do not go, the Advocate will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. – Jn 16:7 I can understand the apostles not wanting to see Jesus go. They really do not… Read More ›
We Are Loved
I celebrated a birthday this week. My husband made me an awesome dinner. And my son and daughter-in-law brought their 2 children over. (Don’t worry. We practiced social distancing). They made me a big poster with letters to me and their drawings. And my eldest stepson and daughter-in-law and my 3 adult grandchildren and soon… Read More ›
The Gift of the Spirit
For the one whom God sent speaks the words of God. He does not ration his gift of the Spirit. – John 3:34 “He does not ration his gift of the Spirit.” I love that. God does not “ration” the Spirit. God does not hold anything back. He gives us His all. He gives us… Read More ›
Jesus Calls Us
Jesus said to them, “Come, have breakfast.” And none of the disciples dared to ask him, “Who are you?” because they realized it was the Lord. – John 21:12 The more time we spend with Jesus, the more we recognize Him in our everyday life. Like any relationship we have, we can only know Jesus… Read More ›
