Fishermen Missing

Over the holidays, my son Michael and I enjoyed a time of painting.  He has been working on a painting of Jesus which is still being worked on and looks unbelievable.  Here is one of my two paintings I happened to work on during that same time. My above painting was inspired by the storyContinue reading “Fishermen Missing”

A Journal For Answered Prayer

I have journals for different purposes.  I realized that one journal should be used exclusively for answered prayers.  Can you imagine just having one notebook for all the ways God has answered you?  That will be a treasure chest of encouragement for you.  Just when you think all hope is lost, pick up your ownContinue reading “A Journal For Answered Prayer”

How to Have a Good Morning!

Blessings Family! I’ve been praying for you.  May God touch you, bless you, strengthen you, encourage you, heal you, deliver you, free you, protect you and answer you!   I’m concerned if every believer has been making use of the Word of God… Have you been able to get through the entire Bible yet?  If not,Continue reading “How to Have a Good Morning!”

Offended?

Feeling offended is absolutely horrible.  Believe me.  I know.  I’m pretty sure you know too.  What is the Bible way to handle being offended?   Here’s where I go to get help… Read 1 Corinthians 13.  It’s the love chapter.  We need a heavy dose of God’s love Read Psalm 51.  Identify with remorseful David whoContinue reading “Offended?”

Now He’s Gone

I knew of him for many years only because his wife had been part of our church for so long.  He was not a Christian.  We used to pick up his wife regularly on the way for evening church services.  She was such a special lady, battling a difficult physical condition that often left herContinue reading “Now He’s Gone”

LET

Colossians 3:15 says, “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace.  And be thankful.” Notice the word “let” here and in John 14:27, “Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”  Do not allow fear in.  Do not allowContinue reading “LET”

Gazing

There is an area of trees in my local park that I find myself constantly gazing at.  I try to find another reason to turn that way again. The other trees are also beautiful in their own way, but there is something extra special about this set of trees.  They boast colors of pretty pink,Continue reading “Gazing”

Write the Letter

I was blessed to have a pen-pal from my childhood.  Probably around 6th grade I started writing to my new friend in Alabama.  We were paired off as pen-pals after being a part of The Sandi Patti Friendship Company.  My pen-pal, Tressa, and I share the same birthdays and faith.  It was a match madeContinue reading “Write the Letter”

The Lock That Would Not Open

The other day my son Daniel came to me with a funny problem while he was cleaning up his room.  He came across a lock but realized he forgot the combination.   How would he ever open it?  He tried whatever  numbers he could think of.  I then gave him a few of my own. Continue reading “The Lock That Would Not Open”
