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. (Dan Forrest has also put out a CD by the same name, and includes all the pieces in this book.) At first glance, … More For Musicians Only
On this special day, our thoughts are on love, and how we can show our loved ones that they are special to us. Probably the simplest way is just to say it; however, sometimes we hesitate to say those words. On the other hand, can we say them too much? Our family has been accused … More Say “I Love You”
“And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.” Genesis 6:6 Did God make a mistake when He created man? Does this verse say that God was sorry that He created man? Let’s take this to the ridiculous extreme! Is it possible that … More God’s thoughts on the State of the Union
Ah, and what if he hadn’t? The title of this blog is a quote from my all-time favorite movie, Ever After, and yes, it is a chick flick of the chickiest kind!

What started out to be a very nasty rainy day, turned into a beautiful balmy Indian-summer treat! This morning’s sky was ominous with dark clouds; however, as I lay on my living room floor and did my Ab Rippers (hope you are duly impressed!), I looked outside and noticed that the clouds were rolling away, … More Blue Skies Comin’ My Way
I can’t help wondering what my mom is thinking tonight – after fifty-five years in one house, this is her last night there. This is the place where she brought up her two little girls, the place where Dad farmed, where life was lived. It’s over; another chapter has closed in her book of life. … More When Life is Over…LIVE!!!
The stars were beautiful last night even though the clouds rolled in this morning. As I looked out the bedroom window during the night, I couldn’t help thinking of Psalm 19: 1 “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.” Truly, the heavens teach us so much about our wonderful … More The Heavens Declare the Glory of God
Psalm 127:2 “It is vain for you … to eat the bread of sorrows…” Just a quick nugget from my devotions: This verse says it is vain to “eat the bread of sorrows.” At first glance, we might just skip over this, saying, “Yea, yea, whatever,” especially if we are not sorrowing.
