Last night was another one of those nights when I dream that I died. It seems to be a reoccurring dream, and not one that I enjoy! It’s not that I’m afraid of dying, I can say that I’m 100% sure that I’m going to heaven. You may say, “Wow! How can you be so sure?” … More The Dream of Death
There are so many lessons to be learned in the garden. I’d say we all have a bit of the farmer in us – who doesn’t like to see things grow? And even if you don’t have any desire to develop your green thumb, it would be worth it to allow your kids to have … More Beauty for Ashes
And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? And he arose, and rebuked … More Hang on!!

So, one day he gave me one! It now sits on the table by my living room window, dancing merrily and bringing … More His Grace – My Weakness
I use the term loosely – miracle. There’s really nothing supernatural about my cuckoo clock, but I KNOW that God keeps it running. We inherited the cuckoo clock from my husband’s great-uncle back in the early nineties. (Is that really over twenty years ago? Inconceivable!!) It had hung on his wall for years, hanging … More My Miracle Clock
The shepherd’s rod and staff are a symbol of his care for the sheep. “…his rod and staff, alluding to the shepherd’s crook, or the rod under which the sheep passed when they were counted (Le 27:32), or the staff with which the shepherds drove away the dogs that would scatter or worry the sheep” … More Rod and Staff
Yesterday, the Lord MADE my husband “lie down.” While working on our gym ceiling, the ladder he was standing on slid, and he fell twelve feet to the hard cement floor. Tonight, he’s in the hospital for the first time in his life with a broken hip and heel. As I sit here, where I … More He Maketh Me to Lie Down
When I Survey the Wondrous Cross, so many lessons for my Christian walk are brought to mind! First, may I say that this collection of hymn arrangements, In Remembrance are absolutely beautiful.
