Visiting our son and his family has brought a growing amount of trepidation. While we love spending time with our oldest and his lovely wife as well as our beautiful granddaughters, for the last 3 trips to Colorado, the adventure has been over the top. Three trips ago, an evacuation for their subdivision was encouraged … Continue reading Snow, Fire & Hail

Jehovah Jireh: the Lord our Provider, Part 1
God tested Abraham “After these things God tested Abraham…” Genesis 22:1, ESV God tests us “Every person’s way is right in his own eyes, But the LORD examines the hearts.” Proverbs 21:2, NASB “but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not to please man, but to please God who tests … Continue reading Jehovah Jireh: the Lord our Provider, Part 1
Jehovah Rohi: The LORD is my Shepherd
I cannot fully express how dispiriting it feels to come down off the mountain. But likely you know, just as Elijah knew (1 Kings 18:36-19:4)! This morning, after spending time in my study of God’s powerful names, I went upstairs and began dusting a dresser. I was struggling with many things, especially burdened after a … Continue reading Jehovah Rohi: The LORD is my Shepherd
Jehovah Tsada: The LORD of Hosts
This morning, I felt like one of the many standing in the valley of Elah gripped with fear. Yet I was determined to gain a fresh perspective, so I chose to draw nourishment from the Vine (the Lord Jesus Christ), and He indeed graciously renewed my mind with a much better outlook. The truth is … Continue reading Jehovah Tsada: The LORD of Hosts
Not so “merry” Christmas
I find myself doctoring the hubby, again!, this time for a bad cold he has borne for 2 weeks, and it has now spiraled into BAD, BAD! So, reinforcements were called in, an antibiotic and cough meds. Though, the drive to CVS brought blaring thoughts that needed to be tackled~ thoughts of feeling sorry for … Continue reading Not so “merry” Christmas
When God’s Answer Hurts!
After the loss of a loved one, doing mundane things, like the wash, seems to be so robotic. Hanging clean laundry in my closet, I turned to leave when my 6-year-old grandson (who had followed me) asked what all those notes were on the wall of my closet. I gasped as soon as I noticed! … Continue reading When God’s Answer Hurts!
This Day of Celebration!
Today has been a celebration of all that the Lord Jesus, Our Sacrificial Lamb, accomplished on our behalf! It was also a celebration for me “Ending my 47 days of ‘no dairy, no sugar’ Fast.” This day of celebration began with scrambled eggs, a cinnamon chip scone and coffee! A special treat: The hubby and … Continue reading This Day of Celebration!
Life Beyond the Grave (Day 47)
This is supposed to be my last day of “no dairy, no sugar” fast for the month of March which I extended until Easter: Resurrection Sunday, April 17, 2022. I am a bit disappointed for it to come to an end because I do not want to fall back into old habits in thinking or … Continue reading Life Beyond the Grave (Day 47)
Good Friday (Day 46)
I asked Siri to explain what Good Friday means: the Friday before Easter Sunday, on which the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ is commemorated in the Christian Church. And as it has been asked before what good is there in a day of crucifixion? This horrific day, which was like no other day that has ever … Continue reading Good Friday (Day 46)
A Garden of Grief (Day 45)
Beautiful gardens have always captured my attention. The peaceful serenity of shade trees with flower lined paths where a person can find renewal from the hustle and bustle of the world. Jesus and his followers regularly got away to the Mount of Olives. It is there we enter the Garden of Gethsemane. And [Jesus] came … Continue reading A Garden of Grief (Day 45)
