‘CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE’… an interesting phrase. God gave me this revelation; and whatever He tells me, it’s always masterful! Honestly, no one is ever ‘caught in the middle’. Selah. Why? Because there are only two sides of each and every story: one side is right, it is holy. The other is wrong, unholy, and very likely, replete with lies. Beloved, whenever there is strife, get out your Bible. Right is right. Wrong is wrong. Sometimes we sin,…..
TO MY JEWISH BRETHREN, Today you celebrate the miracle of Passover, blessing our God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob! It was during Passover the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob freed you from Egyptian slavery. The Church, too, acknowledges and celebrates this victory and all others over your (and our) enemies… The Church is fully aware you still have enemies to be conquered… They will be! Isaiah 62:1-2 For Zion’s sake I will not keep…..
A TOTALLY TRUE STORY… Some people should just stay home… until they have repented! As my husband and I sat down in the sanctuary of our church we heard immediately the woman directly behind my husband hatefully complain how her view was now blocked – that it had been perfect. This thoughtless person had no concern for the people coming in – no rejoicing that more than she, herself, and her family would celebrate our Risen Lord, His…..
Don’t believe me? Study and learn. And then, hopefully, you too will have the joy of the LORD as I always do! Whether you believe God or not: He is. And He tells us repeatedly about His kingdom. And because the God of the Bible is holy, loving and perfect, He knows He must warn all of the perils of the pits of Hell. Selah. We are in a war: each and every one of us. We choose…..
WOMEN: marry a good man! Mine is! Forty-fifth anniversary September 28th! Blind date!! This morning, early, early, I needed Duane immediately… There was a low down, icky, creepy, slug in our bathroom! I needed a totally different type of relief!
Dear God, I surrender to you now, right now. I am done in trying to invent a working lifestyle without you. I humble myself and call out to You. I’m done with lying, with pretending, and explaining away ungodliness. Romans 1:18-21 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God…..
Don’t lose hope! Duane and I have been married since 1979. Today is Duane’s birthday! He is now sixty-eight (I’m close behind him; birthday in April.) And we were a blind date! We love telling that story! But this story is about his wedding ring. All wedding rings are essential in marriages, not only a symbol of never-ending love, but growing cultivated love and romance and commitment. God’s marriage plans ensue a peace treaty promising fidelity,…..
On Saturday (November 11th) I put the new sheets on our bed… I don’t believe in having an extremely feminine bedroom when you’re married (husband and wife only please.) Our bedroom has dark forest green walls, beautiful wooden dresser and night stand, hardwood floors, and a green patterned rug. You might say it’s a bit on the masculine side. I chose it and I love it! Of course, I asked Duane if he would like this theme…..
Has someone every disappointed you? See! There are stupid questions! Matthew 24:12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, But do not lose hope! Romans 12:9-12 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. …..
THIS MORNING AT ABOUT 7:30 I experienced yet another love note from God: as I poured a little bit (just a little bit) of hair gel onto my left hand I immediately saw the shape of a perfect heart! HE LOVES ME!! YOU TOO! Let’s revisit this other Joy Story about a heart, a blue heart… PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES, A BLUE HEART AND GOD… I LOVED MAKING COOKIES when my children were very young. Most…..
