Here’s a question we all should think about and know the answer with 100 % certainty. ARE YOU A CHILD OF GOD? Are you sure? How do you know. Here’s the thing… just saying that you are because YOU think so is not always the right answer. There is a way to know for sure if you are God’s own child. Let’s look at that today……
Sunday Scripture
LET’S TALK ABOUT… WHAT IS EVIL?
Have you ever thought about this question… WHAT IS EVIL? Wow, weighty question! And one that we need to answer in our lives. Do you know and can you define what evil is. True evil… not accidents or mistakes… but moral evil. This is not necessarily a feel-good topic but today I want to talk about … WHAT IS EVIL? Oh boy, did I pick a topic that is thick with theology and much debated and explained by scholars who talk and think way above my head! This is not the definitive word on evil …. or……
OUR NEED FOR A KING
Let’s talk about our KING! Yes, we have one. And even if many people don’t recognize Him, he still is KING… OF EVERYTHING including us!!! The bible is replete with scripture that identifies and shows us just who our King is and what He has done for us! One of my favorite biblical books for giving us a wonderful view of Jesus as King is the book of Matthew! This book is so full of the imagery of the “kingdom of God” and what this everlasting kingdom will be like… no wonder the theme of Matthew is “behold,……
A WEDDING AND A FUNERAL
A couple weeks ago I attended a wedding and a funeral all within 24 hours. I was so struck by the similarities of both! Yes, I could find many common threads between these two momentous occasions. First, they were both Christian affairs. God glorifying and uplifting! They were both in a church and guest were invited and a meal was served. There was also a pastor and music. There were both laughter and tears and speeches and prayers. A wedding and a funeral have much more in common than we think! Jesus himself talked about the connection between a wedding……
EVERYONE DID WHAT WAS RIGHT IN HIS OWN EYES
Right now I’m doing a study on the book of Judges. Yes, Judges! That Old Testament book that is sandwiched in between the books of Joshua and Ruth. I would guess that Judges is not one of the top 10 favorite book in the bible. I love the Old Testament as much as I love the New. It’s important for all of us who call Jesus our Lord and Savior to know the full council of the word of God… and that includes Judges! The book of Judges is about a very very dark time in the history of Israel….
ONE AMAZING WAY I KNOW THAT GOD IS REAL!
Okay, today I’m going to share some very exciting news and some amazing prophetic scripture! I’m sharing one reason I know, beyond any doubt at all, that God is real. That He is who He says He is… and He can do what He says He can do! There are many reasons I know God is real, but it was not until I began to study prophetic scripture that I came to a deeper understanding of just how great and amazing and all powerful and all knowing and sovereign and holy God really is! He is a God that I……

WHAT KIND OF A PRINCESS ARE YOU
When I was a little girl I loved fairy tales! Princesses… and castles… and magic… and handsome princes! I was particularly fond of a little known fairy tale called ROSE RED AND ROSE WHITE… a story about two princesses, one good and one naughty. The illustrations in the book were stunning and beautifully detailed. I was fascinated by those images. One picture really captured my imagination and got my attention… It was a picture of one of the princesses spewing frogs and lizards and flies and snakes up and out of her mouth… while rose petals gracefully fell from the……
WHAT’S YOUR NICKNAME?
Abraham’s well, Beersheba Israel I love when we dig a little deeper than just the text on the pages of the bible we can learn astounding things! Did you know that our great and fabulous, one-of-a kind God has many nicknames? And it makes sense! Do you have a nickname? Not just a shortened version of your given name, but a name of endearment or description given to you by your family, friends or maybe even a bully at school. Names are very important and they often can tell us a lot about a person… names like Big……

WHAT EXACTLY IS PALM SUNDAY?
When I was a little girl my father was stationed overseas and we could not go with him. In the Air Force in those day, that was called going “remote”. We… my mother, my siblings and I, lived with my grandmother during this time. I had an amazing father and I missed my daddy very much. Fourteen months is a long time for a little girl to go without her Daddy! But my mother and grandmother kept us busy with family life and school filled my days and the time passed. These were the days of no smart phones or……
WHO’S SIDE ARE YOU ON?
Did you know that we are all in a battle for our very souls? It is going on all around us. Most of the time we just ignore it and live our lives totally out of touch with this reality. We eat and sleep and work and play and do all our daily life things while we are in the center of a huge, cosmic war of life and death. Yes, this very minute as you read this, there are forces of good and evil fighting for and against you! It is the ultimate battle of good……
MEETING JESUS ON MY EMMAUS ROAD
Who is the person you would most like to meet in the whole world? What an open question!!!! What if you could sit down and have a long, long talk with them and maybe even share a meal. What would you ask them? Would you bring a list of questions? Would you take pictures? Would you invite anyone else to join you? Is it someone living today? But, what if it could be anyone… past or present? How would you choose?…

WHAT IS DOXOLOGY? YOU WILL BE SO SURPRISED!
I am all about knowing what words really mean… especially when it comes to words Christians use often. Words like glory, amen, hallelujah, faith and so on! Today let’s talk about a wonderful word full and rich with meaning… DOXOLOGY. Many of us have heard this word and have some obscure idea of what it means. I think you will love its meaning and be so surprised!…
NOW THIS IS LOVE!
I must admit I am a little hum-buggie about Valentine’s Day. In reality, I think we make way too much of one day set aside for hearts-and-flowers type of love! Is that really love at all? Or is it infatuation or lust or love that makes us feel good? Isn’t real love so much more than that? For some reason Valentine’s Day reminds me of the Bachelor. You know, that train wreck of a show where one Bachelor dates 20 women and goodness-only-knows-what-else to find real love. SERIOUSLY! Valentine’s Day, for me, is about as sincere as that! However, I……
THE BEST OF SERIES… LIVING WATER
I’ve been blogging for about 5 years now and have hundreds of “Sunday Scriptures”. My blog has grown in that time and there are probably many readers who have never seen or read some of my favorite Sunday Scriptures. So, once a month I’ll be going into my archives and dusting off posts about my trip to Israel and what I learned while studying there. Today, I want to revisit the concept of “LIVING WATER”. Living water was and is just that to the people and flora and fauna of this area of the world who depend on it and……
WHAT IS IN YOUR HANDS
Last week I went to a HOPE INTERNATIONAL breakfast. Hope is a ministry that invests in the dreams of the poor through micro financing, proclaims the gospel and brings God’s hope to the underserved communities of the world. I have such a heart for this ministry! At the breakfast I was deeply touched by a video they showed and got permission to show it to you! I know it will also touch your heart and give you hope this morning! God bless you!…
CELEBRATING IN THE TRUE SPIRIT OF THANKSGIVING
I think hosting Thanksgiving is the most work intense, tiring, hardest meal of the year to pull off! There, I said it! And maybe I said it for all of us who host Thanksgiving year after year! There have been years in the past that I have worked myself into total exhaustion to put together a magical-Martha-Stewart-type-Thanksgiving. So, by the time my family and friends sat down to dinner I wanted to say, “Have a great dinner and remember to clean up after yourselves… I’M GOING TO BED”!…
SOMETIMES THINGS JUST DON’T FIT!
My favorite (and only) sister, Lisa came up from the Washington DC area to visit recently. She is a fabulous cook! So along with her came a scrumptious dinner all ready to be eaten, a great bottle of wine and lots of decorating magazines! Lisa and I can make an event out of having a cup of coffee. She is F-U-N… and funny! Our husbands say we have the “Lucille Ball” factor. Lucy and Ethel have nothing on us!!!! Lisa always says that I am the wiser sister… and she is the younger, more beautiful sister! Yes, that’s Lisa! We really……

It is the result of the Lord living through us to produce that which is eternal… To print this Biblical chalkboard art click HERE. May you be blessed!…
HOW TO LOVE PEOPLE WHEN THEY DON’T LOVE YOU
I have a friend that is hard to like sometimes! And I’m sure my friend feels the same way about me… if not worse! I love her dearly, but she is somewhat of a difficult person when it comes to me. We have been friends for decades and our lives have been intertwined. We have shared so many of life’s happiest moments together, and mourned together over life’s devastating blows! But here’s the bottom line… I am a Christian and she is not! And for some reason that often rubs her the wrong way! I often rub her the wrong……
RUN YOUR RACE
My daughter Jacqueline and my daughter-in-law Abigail run half marathons. As you might be reading this Abby is in one now! Go Abby! When they run a half marathon their goal is to cross the finish line. They have never entered a race with the intention of starting it and when things get rough giving up. And they don’t enter a race without training… lots of training. One thing that really helps them in a race is to race with other racers they know. It makes it easier for them to run. Life is sorta like a race. But here’s……
HAVING LUNCH WITH ABRAHAM
Abraham’s well, Beersheba Israel When you go to heaven which person from the Bible do you most want to meet? God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit not included! My list is very very long… Mary, the Apostles, James the brother of Jesus, Adam, Eve, David, all the Prophets, Moses, Joshua and Caleb,Mary Magdalene, Mary and Martha and Lazarus, Jabez, the woman at the well, Barnabas and Silas… The list goes on and on. Thankfully, I will have all eternity to meet and talk and be with other saints! What I would really like is if there was a……

NOW I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP…
I remember saying my nightly prayers as a little girl. Every night… without fail! They were part of the nightly routine… brush teeth, wash face, say prayers!Somewhere between being a young teenager and a college student nightly prayers just faded away. I’m not sure why. Up until today I have not prayed at night on a regular basis. But that is about to change…Now my nightly routine goes like this…Brush teeth, wash face…I’m usually exhausted and fall into bed half asleep before my head hit s the pillow or I fall asleep watching the news or the cooking channel. Praying is……
