When I was in fifth grade, the band teacher came to our classroom and asked who wanted to learn to play a band instrument. I said I wanted to and signed up for the trumpet because it was the only instrument I remembered by the time I left school that day. I went home andContinue reading “You Have to Look at the Notes”

I meant to write today’s blog about submitting to God’s will. I already had gathered up some Bible verses, made notes, prayed about it, listened to inspirational music, and was all set to write. And then I didn’t need any of that because it kind of wrote itself. About a month ago I made aContinue reading “The Hand of God”

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: 2 a time to be born, and a time to die;a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;3 a time to kill, and a time to heal;a time to break down, and a time to build up;4 a time to weep, andContinue reading “Ecclesiastes 3”

The Bible refers to sheep more than any other creature. Sheep have an undeserved reputation for being dumb. They aren’t dumb. I have some relatives who are sheep farmers. I have seen first hand how sheep behave. They have really long memories and they communicate with each other. When a person has a good relationshipContinue reading “Sheep and Shepherds”

Trust in the Lord with all your heart    and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him,    and he will direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6 Lord, today I pray that You infuse my heart with this wisdom so that I may live this wondrous day You have made in a way that glorifies You. Amen.

I prayed for God’s help and received exactly what I prayed for. I mean, never in aContinue reading “Why Surprised?”

Good Morning God! It’s Monday again. Praise be for the gift of another day, another week, another chance to be the person You intend me to become! God, I thank You once again for the roof over my head, the food in my cupboard, the job I have, the health I have, the fact thatContinue reading “Monday”

I think about God a lot. Really a lot. Unfortunately I think I don’t think about Him when I most need His help. I’ve had way too much practice living by the axiom, “Don’t ever ask anybody for any kind of help. Ever. Solve your own problems.” So that’s kind of my automatic habit. WhenContinue reading “God, please help me to …”

Good Morning God! Thank You for sharing with me the Blessing of this glorious day that You have made! God, today I want to talk with You about balance. I know that You have created me and blessed me with the grace of salvation in order that I may serve a greater purpose. You haveContinue reading “Balance”

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,  looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising theContinue reading “Today’s Hope”
