In the garden, God promised He would send a Deliverer who would overcome Satan. Of course, Satan tried every way possible to hinder God’s plan to send the Deliverer. Hence, Satan guided Cain to kill Abel. But God gave Adam and Eve another child in place of Abel. Seth was born separated from God but … Continue reading Skimming the Peaks: Creation to Christ, Part 10: The Flood

Creation to Christ: Part 9
Even through the early history of man there was a demonstration of judgement accompanied by grace. The Bible explains both God’s judgement and grace. We can trust the Bible (John 17:17). The Bible is one book, one history, one story, His story. Behind 10,000 events stands God, the builder of history, the maker of … Continue reading Creation to Christ: Part 9
A Hurricane, a Hornet, and a Horrifying Wreck
Thinking back over the start of this month, we were feverishly preparing for a trip to Colorado Springs. The first several days of the trip was a planned visit with our son and daughter-in-law, spending the time getting to know our granddaughter. It was my second time to visit with our sweet little princess, who … Continue reading A Hurricane, a Hornet, and a Horrifying Wreck

Face planted!
Many, many moons ago (wink wink) while playing basketball I took a knee. You can read all about it here! That knee taught me an invaluable lesson that I have never forgotten. The felt experience caused a great deal of trauma, yet I learned through that mishap that I had an awesome coach watching out … Continue reading Face planted!
C2C, Part 8: Covering Sin
My tall, beautiful Zinnias were pounded by the rain from Hurricane Isaias. When the storm passed, I found a branch lying on the ground split from the stalk. This illustrates how sin brings death. A branch doesn’t die immediately when it’s broken off from the tree or plant that was its source of life. The … Continue reading C2C, Part 8: Covering Sin
Where Do We Turn?
We’ve been dealt a hard blow. Life has changed and it may never, ever be the same. Through a pandemic that includes a cancer journey with my sister-in-law, through loss of jobs or finances for different family members and friends, through loss of caring for grandkids (like my sister is experiencing), or possibly losing the … Continue reading Where Do We Turn?
C2C, Part 7 : The Fall
After creating the first man with the ability to choose, God informed Adam if he chose to disobey and eat from the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, he would surely die (Genesis 2:17). God wanted Adam to choose to love and obey Him. Instead, Adam and Eve chose to believe a lie … Continue reading C2C, Part 7 : The Fall
