My Love and my df girl, along with a man from our church on cajon, lead the music portion of our worship on Sunday mornings. We sing a mix of old and new songs, each with its own beauty and merit. Last week, we sang this beautiful old hymn by Isaac Watts: Alas! and did…… Continue reading at the cross
If you’ve visited with me here before, you’ll know that I confess to needing a knock upside the head sometimes to get one concept or another to stick. (see here, here, and here. I’m sure there are others, as I am a very slow learner!) Most recently, it’s been the truth illustrated in 2 Corinthians…… Continue reading walkin’ the walk: my grace is sufficient for you
With the new year, often comes new plans, new vision and reassessment of our lives. I’ve seen many share their ‘word of the year’ as a point of focus for the months ahead. While I’ve never been one to adopt such a thing, as we sat in our Tuesday night Bible study reading 1 Thessalonians…… Continue reading abound

She particularly liked “To Market, To Market” and would often happily repeat “homey, homey” (which was her version of the home again line) when we’d pull into our driveway after traveling. We…… Continue reading faithful and full of faith
A man we know recently returned from a trip to Egypt and shared the evidence of God at work in that place. While there is religious persecution in Egypt, there is a growing community of Christian converts. It made me think of the hardships many Christians face. Because we live with relative religious freedom in North America,…… Continue reading do not let my lips deny you
We had an exciting event at our church this summer. Three people made the decision to publicly confess Jesus as their Saviour through baptism. Most exciting for us? One of them was our df girl! It was a lovely day, as we gathered on the beach this particular Sunday. After a short talk about the…… Continue reading baptism day at the beach
As Christians, we have a unique opportunity to show the love of Jesus to this world, to be His hands and feet. In fact, it’s a responsibility. We had a team from South Carolina with us this past week who were a wonderful example of people who love people because of Jesus. They joined us to do…… Continue reading his hands and feet
