Understanding God’s Steadfast Love and Faithfulness
My oldest son and I were having a conversation about differing points of view about God and the Bible. I offered up my point of view on the subject of God, the Creator of the universe and everything.

The Fear of the Lord: The Key to Wisdom
Where to begin? Isn’t that the question most of us have when we are looking to increase wisdom and knowledge?

Seeking More of Him
Going through the “Read-the-Bible-in-a-Year” reading plan allows me to glean little nuggets that I have passed over in the past.

In That One Moment
There have been so many instances in my life that I have thought about what it was like to be without cancer versus being with cancer. Before cancer, I was a strong person that was able to help almost everyone I came into contact with. After cancer entered into my life, I became this shellContinue reading “In That One Moment”
What is Your Purpose?
There I was, this morning, on the back deck of my house. I was enjoying the beauty of the atmosphere. It was early morning, and it seemed as though I was the only person awake in the neighborhood. I’m sure I wasn’t, but that is what I felt. As I communed with God, the birdsContinue reading “What is Your Purpose?”
Prayer
There are so many ways to pray. We can pray with our eyes open or closed. We can pray aloud or silently. We can speak our prayers or sing them. Any way to communicate with God is appropriate when you are seeking Him. And since, we are looking for what prayer is, I decided toContinue reading “Prayer”
