I am writing today, with the help of the Holy Spirit, to share my thoughts on what all the studying, all the reading, and the daily devotionals have led me to discover. I have come to realize that my life is about honoring Christ and glorifying God! Now that does not mean […]
Application
My Beloved Timothy
On Paul’s second missionary journey he took Timothy. Paul referred to Timothy as his son, his beloved, his son in the Lord. He wrote two letters to Timothy, the second letter believed to be his last. He was killed by the Romans, of which he was a citizen. Paul gave his life for […]
Saul, also known as Paul
In Acts, chapter 13, verse 9, Saul becomes known as Paul. Is this significant? When you think about the many letters from Paul that comprise the last chapters of the new testament, it is. Paul often refers to himself as an apostle/bondservant of Christ. The significance of Paul is that […]
Happy-Merry New Year
The years seem to come faster as we get older. I’ve heard this said most of my life. I now believe it is true when we look at family we don’t see often, when it takes longer to complete tasks and when babies grow from far away. I’m also seeing […]
Merry Christmas
How did the phrase “Merry Christmas” begin? Why don’t we say “Happy Christmas”? I looked at several articles on the subject and found that the “merry” in Christmas is unique. The word “happy” comes from the word “hap” which means luck or chance and implies good fortune, while “merry” implies […]

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 […]
The Truth
I recently had the privilege to spend time with family I don’t get to see very often. I have a beloved uncle who is questioning the truth of God, creation, etc.. It is hard to convince of truth when others view Christianity as “just another religion”. I was asked why my beliefs are […]
In the moment
In life we have moments. They are typically fleeting and the best of them seem to be the swiftest. In traveling with my husband and our dog Hope, we have both been taking photographs of many moments, each suspended in time. I love watching waves and looking for smooth, round rocks to paint. […]
Standing firm
In Act’s, the rulers and leaders of the people of Jerusalem confront Peter and John and jail them for healing in Jesus’s name. Many signs and wonders had been happening in the last 50+ days. There was a trial, a call for a choice of who to find guilty. Then followed a Crucifixion, […]
