If you been reading here for any length of time, you know that some of our family lives twenty plus hours away and we usually only see them once or twice a year. This is often hard on my momma-heart. We recently made a trip to visit friends and family and, best of all, to…… Continue reading pure joy
If you’ve been around from the beginning, you know this blog was borne through many sleepless nights. I had a time where I just could not sleep and thought that writing out some of the stuff swirling about in my head might help. The sleepless nights come and go now, but I’ve had a few…… Continue reading testimony and trepidation
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

Sometimes even now, in a dubious effort to be witty, I’ll repeat this expression. While we traveled recently, we listened to a…… Continue reading stink pretty

Some are easy. ‘What shall I have for breakfast?’ ‘Red shirt or blue?’ Some are more difficult. ‘Should I take this new job?’ ‘Is it the right time to buy a new car?’ Some are life changing. Some have eternal implications. We know an older man of questionable…… Continue reading the choice
Easter weekend is fast approaching, and as we make plans for the weekend, I consider the events behind the holiday. For us it is not about bunnies and eggs and chocolate; albeit, I don’t mind indulging just a little. It is about a love so amazing, so self-sacrificing, that its depths cannot be fully comprehended. About a King…… Continue reading deepest love
Sing praise to the LORD, you saints of His, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name. For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning. As I’ve mentioned in a previous post, we are using Rachel…… Continue reading joy in the everyday ~ psalm 30:5
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. ~Romans 15:13 Hope. Joy. Peace. Isn’t it interesting that these words walk together in the same passage? Hope: expectation, trust Joy: gladness, calm delight, state of well-being…… Continue reading joy in the everyday ~ romans 15:30
