In my last post I wrote a little bit about righteousness. I used to be a little confused about this. There are two kinds of righteousness. One is dependent on deeds and works and what others see by boasting, the richest of meanings is the true righteousness when we surpass that of […]

Refinement and Righteousness
We have been visiting some beautiful parks across the western United States. One of my favorites was our recent visit to Arches National Park. What breathtaking vistas and giant rock walls with wind swept curves and grooves, windows and arches. My husband and I made several of the more popular hikes, some […]
Cowboy Church
We are staying at the Winding River RV Resort. On Sunday’s they offer Cowboy Church. This last Sunday our non-denominational leader did not show up. We did, however, have a gentleman, in our midst who was a pastor for 44 years. He graciously agreed to lead our tiny group. (There were 7 of […]
God’s Garden
If we start at the very beginning, we start with the book of Genesis. Great start! God creates everything by His word, His breath. He places man, then woman in a garden where He is also present. The perfect existence. Adam and Eve did not toil or despair or worry. They had a […]
History
Jim and I visited the museum for the USS Midway in San Diego Bay. The aircraft carrier has been restored to accurately display the ship as it was in 1992. It’s history is introduced by artifacts from it’s construction right after WWII to it’s voyage in Operation Desert Storm in […]

Healing acts and words
I’ve been thinking a lot about what compels us to observe something. Is it the sensationalized commotion tied to it or is it something even more compelling? In Acts chapter 3, Peter and John heal a lame man at the Beautiful Gate. What ensues involves the act of healing and then the gospel […]
Acts
In Acts 1, verse 9 it says: “And after He (Jesus) had said these things, He was lifted up while they (His Apostles) were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.” Jesus had also told them that He must leave so that the promise of God could be fulfilled. […]
Precept Upon Precept Bible Study
I get very excited as September approaches and is now here! Every year for the last seven-plus years I have participated in a Precept bible study class. This year we begin with the historical document “Acts”. I will be sharing a bit of what I’m learning as we go through this book from […]
Home again and John
Jim and I are home and we have once again managed to park our beast in the driveway! Hope (the dog) is finally eating actual, hard dog food again and life is good. We will leave for new adventures around the first of July. The Summer months don’t always […]
