Serving the Lord at any Age
Caution: This message is for those over 55 only. Sometimes I feel like the faded carnations I had to toss in the garbage because they were wilted and brown on the edges. But then I took one last whiff of the discolored petals. The aroma was divine despite their appearance. Just like … Continue reading
God’s Purpose for Us and Our Trust in Him
Ft. De Soto Park, St. Petersburg, FL If you are a follower of the Messiah Jesus Christ and have trusted Him for salvation, then you celebrated the resurrection of our Lord last Sunday along with over two billion people. That’s about one third of the world’s population. Thank God for his flock, but … Continue reading
Join me on a trip to Nebraska and Iowa!
A journey of more than 80 miles from home is a major and rare undertaking to me. Still, when my son suggested we go out of state with him to visit our daughter, we agreed. Here’s some pictures I’d like to share of a couple of points of interest we enjoyed while we were gone. … Continue reading
The Sovereign Lord is My Strength
Sometimes I love to meditate on those uplifting pages we see on occasion in a Christian magazine or other publication – the ones with an encouraging scripture and an inspiring picture to accompany it. This week I wanted to share one of my favorite scriptures and provide a picture. Habakkuk 3:17-19 Though the fig tree … Continue reading
Front Porch on the Old Home Place
The old home place. Is that expression familiar to you? If not, you may be a city dweller. I’ve heard it all my life. Especially from my mother when she’d talk about the farm she grew up on. With a few acres and a lot of work, her family made a living from the farm. … Continue reading

How many times does the Lord have to teach me the same lesson? I can remember this one from before. Looks like I didn’t pass the first time. Is my face red yet? I wrenched my back again, and did it ever hurt. I hobbled around my RV complaining to … Continue reading
Arts and Crafts—are they for you?
Crafts are a popular past time and have been for many years. My mother made beautiful quilts. She sat with tiny pieces piled around her favorite easy chair while she sewed them together with needle and thread. Yep, no easy sewing machine for her. Most of her pieces were only one to two inches across, … Continue reading
Savior, Like a Shepherd Lead Us
Savior like a Sheppard lead us, much we need thy tender care. Since I was a little girl, I’ve sung that song in church, but for most of my years, it’s just been a song. Since I began writing, I’ve asked the Lord to lead me in everything, even down to … Continue reading
A Writer’s Prayer
Dear Lord, Give me the strength today to pen the words you want written on the page, the knowledge and wisdom to convey the message You desire for the reader to grasp. I am weak, but You are strong. Lord, I am helpless and can do nothing without Your mighty power and understanding. You … Continue reading
Walking with Jesus
I love rising early, watching the sunrise, and reading my Bible. God is faithful every morning in allowing the sun to come up and granting us another day. As if He is providing music along with all His other blessings, I hear a dove’s call from the giant oak tree next to the RV. I was … Continue reading
