Dying but Living
December 28, 2013
(Taken from God is Enough, Hannah Whithall Smith, p. 271) Christ died to give me actual holiness as well as judicial; He died to make me really dead to sin and really alive to God in Him. He died in order that He might become my life — the only life I have — and , … More Dying but Living
White Christmas – Mistaken Identity
December 24, 2013
Another of my Christmas movie favorites is White Christmas. What a wonderful plot! Bing Crosby, the ever big-hearted do-gooder, has a great plan to help his former army commander, General Waverly. However, when the housekeeper eavesdrops on his conversation, she only catches a part of his plan and thinks the worst. When she tells Betty, … More White Christmas – Mistaken Identity
The Ugly Side of George Bailey, Part Two: Reality
December 21, 2013
In 1946, It’s a Wonderful Life was created. Perhaps it was the era of new camera lens, but this picture doesn’t really capture how the camera filmed George in this scene. The photo certainly matched the music to create an “other-world” effect! At this point, reality set in: What if he really had never been … More The Ugly Side of George Bailey, Part Two: Reality
The Ugly Side of George Bailey
December 14, 2013
As we work our way into the Christmas Season, I thought we’d take a look at some of those Christmas classic movies we all love. Certainly at the top of my list is It’s A Wonderful Life. Dear George Bailey truly portrays a lot of us – our problems reveal what’s truly going on in … More The Ugly Side of George Bailey
Lessons at Five-forty-five AM?
December 9, 2013
“…the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?” Romans 2:4 I often misquote this verse and say that it is the goodness of God that leads men to repentance. Well, that is true as well; except that, as is often the case, then we are applying the verse to others and not to ourselves! At … More Lessons at Five-forty-five AM?
Blue Skies Comin’ My Way
December 2, 2013
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
My Best?
November 30, 2013
“And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee, or accept thy person? saith the LORD of hosts.” Malachi 1:8 I’ve been reading through the Bible this year, and … More My Best?
Trusting His Keeping
November 25, 2013
“If we trust for ourselves, we must trust for our loved ones also, especially for our children. God is more their Father than their earthly fathers are, and if they are dear to us they are far dearer to Him. We cannot, therefore, do anything better for them than to trust them in God’s care, … More Trusting His Keeping
When Life is Over…LIVE!!!
November 21, 2013
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!!!
