I watched my sister die last Thursday. Held her hand and told her it was ok to let go, to just go to Jesus. It was hard and it was holy and it was painful in so many ways.Continue reading “death and what really matters”

I love Jesus and His Church. His Word is Truth, His heart is good, and His return is sure.
growing old and unfading glory
It seems that here, in our mid-50’s, the aging process has become impossible to ignore. My husband hurt his arm awhile back, and it still hurts. What’s that got to do with aging? He hurt it putting on his seat belt. Google says it’s probably the rotator cuff. Google knows everything. And seat belts are evil.Continue reading “growing old and unfading glory”

one thing
“I have created you with great capacity. Your heart can hold many of the things of God. The only way you will be able to walk in the full capacity I have given you, is to let nothing compete with your pursuit of our relationship.Continue reading “one thing”

I know why she kissed His feet
Luke 7:36-50
That story, the one about the woman with the alabaster jar of perfume, blows me away every time. It’s not so much because she reminds me of me, although she does. But so does that pharisee guy.
Today, it’s more that Jesus reminds me of Jesus.Continue reading “I know why she kissed His feet”

be great
“At that time the disciples came to Jesus and said, “Who is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” …And He said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” – Matthew 18:1, 3-4
Something in us is so prone to the desire to be great, lured by the idea of more, better, greater. So gullible to the lie.Continue reading “be great”

don’t be a trader
“Once when Jacob was cooking a stew, Esau came in from the field exhausted. He said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stuff, because I’m exhausted.” … Jacob replied, “First sell me your birthright.” “Look,” said Esau, “I’m about to die, so what good is a birthright to me?”… So he swore to Jacob and sold his birthright to him.” – Genesis 25:29-32
Esau was hungry, so he traded away the blessing. He would have received twice the inheritance as his younger brother, but he gave it away for a temporary pleasure.
What do we trade away?Continue reading “don’t be a trader”

uncovering our unbelief
“So He was not able to do any miracles there, except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them. And He was amazed at their unbelief.” – Mark 6:5
And I marvel at the power of unbelief, to be able to hinder the miracles of God. To my knowledge, scripture mentions nothing else that causes God to be “not able”.Continue reading “uncovering our unbelief”
