I once read “A truth about the Lord is not truly ours until He works it into our daily life.”  I wish I had said it myself but, nonetheless, I am glad to have the truth of that statement tucked away in my heart.  I love Bible studies and I love Bible lessons.  I love… Read More The Advantage in Slow Days

I looked up the definition of recover.  One of several definitions (and the one that most quickly comes to my mind) is “the return to a normal position or condition.”  The return of normal.  How often have we heard that sentiment….as it refers to our day-to-day lives and post-covid thinking?  Many are excited about activities,… Read More Longing for More Than “A Return to Normal”

After the defeat by Ai, Joshua (like many of us) cried out to God, “Why?”  You might be familiar with the story.  God told Joshua there was sin in the camp.  “Israel hath sinned, and they have also transgressed my covenant which I commanded them:  for they have even taken of the accursed thing, and… Read More Hidden in the Tent

When it comes to a plan, I typically think of four “people” involved.  Those people might better be seen as necessary parts to the plan and the plan could refer to all types of things – but anything that starts as with an idea until it is executed or finished.  A house renovation plan.  A… Read More It Takes More Than Just a Plan

If you read Tuesday’s post, you know that we (my hubbie and I) have been patiently waiting for porch season to return.  To not only open the windows but also to enjoy time in the evenings out on the porch.  And we were not disappointed this week!  It has been spring in all her glory… Read More So Much More Than I Think Possible

Happy Friday and time for another FMF!  The first full week of March did not disappoint.  Definitely still brisk (actually quite chilly, especially in the mornings), and the March wind does love to blow, but signs of spring are obvious.  And most welcome…and delightful!!  We even had the first fertilizer applied yesterday so even the… Read More Turning My Thoughts to Dad

It began in late November.  We watched a Hallmark Christmas movie.  And then another.  And then, well you guessed it, it became quite the habit.  Or, at least, a regular part of our December evening routine.  I dare to count how many of those movies we watched (in many ways, the same movie.  They just… Read More Refuse to Live Distracted
