The Arrogance of It All!
I’m pretty good at reading people and situations. I believe these factors have contributed to my ability to size up situations and individuals rather quickly: Growing up in a small town, being treated unfairly at times, serving as a pastor’s wife for over 25 years, working with children since about 10 years of age, and … Continue reading The Arrogance of It All!
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!
Creation to Christ, 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 Creation to Christ, 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
A Suitable Companion
God is a loving Father and after bringing all the animals, it was obviously painful, Adam was alone. The only time during creation that God said something was “not” good, revealed man’s first need (Genesis 2:18). God made a wife for Adam, from Adam. God instituted marriage there in the beginning (Genesis 2:21-25). God … Continue reading A Suitable Companion
C2C, Part 5 : Fallen from Glory
God is creator, the great planner of the universe. He brought his plan to a triumphant conclusion when he saw everything that he had made and pronounced it good. God made man and woman a “them;” “male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, Be fruitful and increase in number” … Continue reading C2C, Part 5 : Fallen from Glory
C2C, Part 4: God’s Creation
The task is TOO GREAT! It’s vitally important to establish key events and to fully understand how those events changed creation. So here we are hanging out with Creation to further establish our beginnings. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, PERFECTLY (Genesis 1:1). During this process, God created the spirit beings … Continue reading C2C, Part 4: God’s Creation
C2C, Part 3 : Creation began
The Bible is the most powerful Book ever because it has the power to transform a life, to redeem a lost soul from the pit of hell and hopelessness, and bring that life to God Himself. As we continue to hang events on our clothesline: God has always existed. He alone was before all things; … Continue reading C2C, Part 3 : Creation began
