Gone From My Sight

April 29, 2013 by 8 Comments
Tramonto ad Heron Island

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength, and I stand and watch until at last she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sun and sky come down to mingle with each other. Then someone at my side says, "There she goes!" Gone where? Gone from my sight - that is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and just as able to bear her load of living freight to the places of destination. Her diminished size is in me, … [Read more...]

I do love a good series!  It saves me from having to decide which book to read next.  I'm just now starting the third book in the Yada Yada Prayer Group series, and I highly recommend these books! My friend Ann referred me to these books, and this is shaping up to be one of my favorite Christian fiction series of all times. The books are written about a group of twelve women who are randomly assigned to a prayer group at a women's conference.  They are a diverse group of women who makes a decision to continue their prayer meetings after the conference is over. My favorite thing … [Read more...]

My Christmas Wish to You

I've started more Christmas blog posts than I can count in the past week, but none of them felt right. My heart has been heavy at times this month because of all the evil that is evident in our world.  My heart is also filled with joy because Jesus came into our dark and violent world with the remedy for my sin.  I have a Christmas pin with these words:  Jesus is the Reason for the Season. The truth is that we are the reason for the season.  He came for you and me. You see, I've done some things I shouldn't have done.  I stole a pair of earrings once.  I've told more than my … [Read more...]

Operation Christmas Child: An Opportunity to Give

October 2, 2012 by 2 Comments

What could be better than giving the one gift this Christmas that would bring a smile to child's face?  In our land of plenty, it's a joy to know that many children are not just satisfied but elated over one small shoe box filled with small gifts. Operation Christmas Child, a project of Samaritan's Purse has been sending out shoe boxes packed with gifts to children all over the world since 1993. If you've never been a part of this amazing opportunity, I encourage you to head over the the Samaritan's Purse website and read all about it.  The packers  (people like you and me) choose whether … [Read more...]

Countdown to Election Day 2012

September 28, 2012 by 8 Comments

Forty days from today is Election Day 2012 in America.  You know what that means.  Just forty more days of TV ads, phone calls, and candidate-promoting Facebook status updates.  It means all of that and so much more. Because of the significance of the number forty in the Bible, some Christian organizations are calling for believers to commit to praying for our nation every day for these next forty days leading up to the November election.  I have made a personal commitment to faithfully pray for America for these forty days. I have decided that for me, this MUST be more than tacking … [Read more...]
