Sunday night at church, one of the requested favorites was Good Christian Men Rejoice. The words to this Christmas carol are accredited to Henry Suso who lived in the 14th century. As we sang the hymn, I couldn’t help thinking about the immutability of our God! Immutability refers to God’s unchangeable quality – something definitely … More Good Christian Men Rejoice!
“Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. If any man’s work abide which he hath built … More Lesson from the Three Little Pigs
Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life. Proverb 13:12 When I got the email that the publication of Twelve Smooth Stones was pushed back to March, I experienced this verse first hand. It seemed like I had waited forever for the August date and March was … More Hope Deferred
There is a delicate web that crisscrosses its way across this land. It’s like a huge connect-the-dots pattern, and it happens every Wednesday evening. People gather together in their churches to pray and the wind of God’s grace gently touches the web, which is often laced with the tears of God’s most precious saints – … More Connect the Dots
Are you ever amazed when you learn a new truth about our Heavenly Father that you never thought of before? I was just listening to abidingradio.org (which, if you haven’t found it yet, is a wonderful place to find GOOD God-honoring, holy, beautiful Christian music) and a song came on from the Steve Petit Evangelistic … More Deep Deep Love
Well, we’ve gone from Rosie the Riveter to Susie the Spackler to Sandy the Sander and now: Patty the Painter, all in one week! During that time, the ministry marches on: the cares and concerns do not cease. At times, I wonder if we’re making a difference. As I talked with a coworker who goes … More Stay in the Battle!
Move over Rosie the Riveter!! You may ask, “Wanda, what are you doing?” Well, since I’m a failure at gardening, I thought I’d go into carpentry! Not really. I am placing screws every eight inches, as suggested, into the hardie board that will then be covered with tile. Notice the beautiful sequential pattern! Notice the … More Rosie the Riveter
This morning I realized that I had done something stupid yesterday. (Well, one thing that I could remember!) I had made play-dough for the kids for the Junior Church lesson and put it into Ziploc baggies. As I was lying in bed this morning going through the day, I remembered the play-dough, thinking that I shouldn’t have … More One Stupid Thing
He stands by the edge of the water, watching for a moment, loving the pounding of the surf and constant ebb and flow – it reminds him of God’s immutability (never changing). But before long, he’s in with a smile of delight. My husband LOVES the ocean! I like the ocean, I can even say … More Fish-man and the Boogie Board
Last Saturday, we had a work day at our church. We scrubbed windows, painted walls, cleaned closets, decorated for fall… The men brought in wood for the pastor and his wife to keep them warm this winter, 🙂 and others worked on some electrical issues. We always have a meal, and go away feeling satisfied … More In My Father’s House
