“I can do all things, through Christ who strengthens me ” Phillipians 4:13 This summer has come and gone in a whirlwind of activity! My family decided to begin some simple renovations to our kitchen in the spring. Well, we thought simple! Nothing major; replace windows with French doors, build a new deck off those doors, close off a hallway, and make a new doorway to the pantry. Doesn’t sound major, right? Well, we got the ball rolling and then we had another layer added to the project. Our daughter decided her wedding reception would be…
Two Dear Ones Whose Positive Attitudes Aided Their Healing Process James 5:13-15 Is any of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. Is any one of you sick?

THE POWER OF PRAYER I Journal All Blessings Matt 14:23 And when He sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there.

DRIVE THE TRACTOR! PLOUGH THROUGH IT! You’ll Come Out Stronger On The Other Side. Psalm 112:7 He will have no fear of bad news. His heart is steadfast trusting in the Lord. This scripture sounds good doesn’t it? It’s great to say, ”I’ve been through a lot. I’m a survivor. The suffering defined me and I’m a strong woman.” It’s all true. I am a very strong woman. However, I still have a lot of fields to plough. My husband and I both have grown a lot together in 46 years. Here…

twinkle, twinkle little star how I wonder what you are… A children’s rhyme that is very popular with girls, boys, young and even older. Today, I was watching a sweet little girl and we were reading a book for bedtime; it was about a person drawing a star. As I read I realized the 5 point star we are taught to draw clearly resembles a person. Also, the star in the sky, could that be Jesus watching out over all of his ‘children’ both young and old? We must remember that Christ is human, at…

DO NOT LET YOUR HEART BE TROUBLED. Sean Hannity: Fox News Psalm 27:14 Wait for the Lord; be strong, take heart, and wait for the Lord. If you follow my blogging, you must know that I am a Christian Conservative. Fox News is the only network that doesn’t have the unhinged left attitude. Nightly, we watch Sean Hannity, whom is severely, hated by the left. In my 69 years, I have never seen such hate lashed out at a President, and fellow Christians. Believe it…if you are a true Christian, you are under attack. I believe that…
The sunset brings rest before the dawn Beloved, let us love one another 1 John 4:7 Life is full of many joys, laughter, and humor. But, and there is always one of those, it has pain and sadness with it too. God gives us all things for our good, and while we cannot always understand the pain of the moment, we can usually look back on it later and see why God allowed such hurt and suffering. Recently, I received a wonderful reconciliation with a family member. I have been overjoyed to see this beloved person again, but I…
