WHY, UPON HEARING OF A SAINT’S DEATH, do you say: “That’s so sad!”? This morning (February18, 2022, Friday – with the temperature at four degrees) I was thinking about Paul’s, Apostle Paul’s, words: Philippians 1:21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. Death is the last enemy we children of God will ever deal with. Unless, that is, we are taken up in the rapture and do not see death: 1 Corinthians 15:20-28 But…..
A REFRESHING (FOR THE MEN) CONVERSATION between a husband and wife… “Can I talk? Or, do you want me to shut up?” This was a fun (and true) question I had for Duane; and it is one of his favorite things for me to ask! Why? Because I want his full attention when I’m speaking. Don’t want him to read when I’m talking… because don’t you know everything I say is important?! I need to be…..
THERE IS NO COMPROMISE WITH THE KINGDOM… I am speaking about the Kingdom of God, of course. That word intolerant is big in this day – the year of 2022; and quite a few years before this. But is it always wrong to be so? No: depending on the subject. For example: I take deep thankfulness from God that I know the truth about abortion… Abortion: a word made to play nice. Isn’t it nice that women have a…..
You can tell your sons and daughters have grown up and left the home by the amount of pictures you take of your pets!
EXAMINE MY LATEST BOOK: The Free Incarcerated Man If you have someone who is incarcerated, or even those outside prison walls suffering a period of devilish despondency, my latest book is more than able to show them the way… The Free Incarcerated Man is a labor of love written specifically for men living in a prison population. With no hesitation it proclaims God still loves such men. Even the man who may have done a most heinous crime, perhaps believing…..
I AM VERY BIG ON EQUALITY. Why? God is: Romans 2:5-11 But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of God’s wrath, when his righteous judgment will be revealed. God “will repay each person according to what they have done.” To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there…..
VERY RECENTLY Duane asked me for a foot rub. That’s what he usually gives me. For the most part I give him a back scratch because that is what he prefers. For whatever reason, his feet were peeling (and it could be his socks – I had peeling toes years ago due to cotton socks.) So, to my lack of enthusiasm, Duane asked for a foot rub. Selah. Here, beloved, is my point: I didn’t want to give him one……
There are no sinners in Heaven… I pray I see you there! Revelation 21:1-8 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice…..
AND BACK! All praise, worship, reverence, and glory to God! Today is Thursday, the day I post my articles usually. Just three days ago, Monday, my husband Duane drove himself to the hospital; not for working in the emergency room – rather as a patient. He went to the closer hospital. He patiently explained to me why he was going and why he could drive. Chest pains are always a threat to life. When people come into the…..
Every day is precious! Every day’s unique! The devil is defeated!! He’s really quite a creep! Psalm 118:24 The Lord has done it this very day; let us rejoice today and be glad. Colossians 2:9-15 For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority. In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not performed by…..
