Not long ago, my husband and I drove up to the mountains and enjoyed a beautiful day of sightseeing and a scrumptious lunch at a picturesque restaurant. When the server brought the bill to us, my husband noticed that she had forgotten to add the dessert. Immediately,...

One of the greatest blessings God offers us as part of His forever family are wonderful friendships with other believers. A few weeks ago, I had knee-replacement surgery. After I got home from the hospital, there was a stream of people in and out bringing food,...

You and I know that life can spiral out of control in a matter of minutes. One minute things are going the way we planned, but the next… Everything can change. Life can cause us extreme distress. In 2005, my 43 year old sister was diagnosed with a rare form...

Today begins a brand new year. And here goes the New Years Resolutions. If I could be honest, I’ve never been much on resolutions because rarely do I fulfill them. Sure, I start out with a bang, but it doesn’t take long before life gets in the way and...

There’s nothing that hurts more than a broken relationship. In our world, we see marriages crippled, friendships fizzling out, partnerships dying, co-workers not getting along, and siblings battling it out. When I was younger, I had a really good friend. We got...

I have often thought of myself as weak, timid and insignificant. In fact, this is the story of my life. Do you have a similar story? Jesus began His public ministry in the year 27 AD. He began by picking twelve men to walk with Him. One was a despised tax collector....

Last week I had knee replacement surgery. If I could be honest, I would love to have instant healing – no more pain, no more sleepless nights, no more walking with a cane, and the ability to drive again. I wish I could snap my fingers and have a workable body...

We all long for a better day. A day when we can be taken from this world – delivered from the ugliness of sin. We look forward to the day when all our problems will vanish. As believers we have the assurance that that better day is on the horizon. We call it the...

I know I don’t have to tell you what a crazy mixed-up world we live in. My 80 year old mom often says that there is no place in this world for her. I know what she means. This world is not the same world she grew up in. It’s not the same world I grew up in either. And...

He waited! He watched! He hoped! And he believed his son would come home one day. Many had gathered on this day to hear Jesus speak. Something tells me they hadn’t expected such a true-to-life story. Something also tells me that it pierced countless hearts. Luke the...
