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……

Happy and Blessed Easter from StoneGable to your home!!! This is one of my favorite videos about our risen Savior! THAT’S MY KING, DO YOU KNOW HIM? HE HAS RISEN INDEED! HALLELUJAH! …
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……
FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS
(photo credit) If I were born in a different age, or place I don’t think I could have ever made it. I can’t imagine cooking over a fire and sleeping in a room full of people with lice and chiggers and all sorts of other maladies!I’m not even a good weekend camper! I would be a disaster without indoor plumbing and no electricity. I am not a survivalist-kind-of-gal. The thought of putting on a corset and a hoop skirt does have an appeal for about two seconds… but no toothpaste or nightly eye cream is almost unthinkable! And I thank……
A LESSON IN KINDNESS
I got an early start one day last week and found myself at our local grocery store before 10 cars were in the parking lot! I love getting there when all the grocery carts are neatly stacked up and the line and the deli isn’t three deep. It’s almost exhilarating to wander down empty isles with a cup of my first coffee of the day in hand. I did not have many items to get, so I grabbed what I needed and headed to the “15 items or less” check-out line. I guess it was just out of habit I……
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……
THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT PRINTABLE CHALKBOARD ART
I made this chalkboard art of Galatians 5:22-23 to remember how the Holy Spirit is manifest in our lives! Fruit (KARPOS in the original Greek) are the deeds, actions, results, profit or gain. 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……
PSALM 51:10 CHALKBOARD ART
Isn’t this a Bible verse we should all meditate on every day? It is a beautiful way to ask God to renew and redirect our lives to more closely follow Him! I have added the Hebrew meaning to the words so we can get a more meaningful, deeper sense of what this verse in Psalms says!…
WAITING FOR SUPERMAN!.
If you were in dire trouble and needed to be saved by a superhero who would you pick to come to the rescue? I would pick Superman! Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound… He can fly in the sky like a bird and his hair is never messed up! He fights for truth, justice and the American way! Strong, fast, powerful. A real hero! He is the perfect package of good looks, brains, brawn and compassion! Yes, I would feel pretty safe in the strong arms of……
GIVING THANKS AT MEALTIME
This past week our family went out to dinner at a local steakhouse chain. You know the one that has free peanuts and two-steppin’ servers and plays country music’s top 40 and embarrasses birthday folk by making them sit on a big saddle! YEE-HAA! Yes, that’s the one! I love this restaurant! Kevin, one of the cooks, can make me the most perfect “Pittsburgh seared medium” ribeye EVER! It’s so good it could make you cry! YUMMY! As is our habit, we all quietly held hands and prayed before we ate. We thanked God and asked Him to bless the……

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……
