“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation: but be of good cheer. I have overcome the world.” John 16:33
A lot has changed since I last sat down to write. A microscopic virus has made its way across our world and with it has brought loss of health, jobs, life, and, for many, a loss of peace.
I remember sitting in front of the television as a little girl watching…
“…my heart stands in awe of Your word. I rejoice at Your word as one who finds great treasure.” Psalm 119:161-162
I like new beginnings. There’s something rejuvenating about a fresh start, and the onset of a new year is an excellent time to begin a brand new discipline. I’ve been thinking quite a bit about New Year’s resolutions. I personally never liked that word until I was reminded of the seventy life-shaping resolutions Jonathan Edwards made as a young…
“…in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation…which is proper for women professing godliness…” – I Timothy 2: 9-10
Modesty is not a popular topic these days. I personally don’t like conflict, so I’m certainly not posting these thoughts with the intention of stirring up controversy.

“He who answers a matter before he hears it, it is folly and shame to him.” – Proverbs 18:13
I had planned to write a Thanksgiving blog post since we will be celebrating my favorite holiday of the year next Thursday. But something very disturbing has taken place over the last week, and I felt compelled to address it. The allegations of sexual misconduct against Alabama Judge Roy Moore have rocked the state I now call home. And they have been…
“Death and life are in the power of the tongue…” Proverbs 18:21
When I was in Bible College back in the mid-seventies, there was an old time evangelist who frequently preached in the church the students attended. This particular speaker would always work a little humor into his sermons, and it seemed that he often liked to get a laugh by telling jokes about women. I distinctly remember one of his humorous stories even though I heard him tell it…
