CAN’T TOUCH THIS!….. 07/07/2021……. Wednesday Welcome

What are some of the things you know not to touch? A hot stove! A roaring fire! Poison ivy! Poisonous creatures! In King David’s day, according to 2 Samuel, this list included the Holy Ark of The Covenant. (Think Raiders of the Lost Ark) It was feared and yet also desired as it was consideredContinue reading “CAN’T TOUCH THIS!….. 07/07/2021……. Wednesday Welcome”

I AM THANKFUL FOR ….….. 07/06/2021 ……Tuesdays with Ryan

There is always so much to be thankful for! Ryan joins me in prayer this morning as we share some of our gratitude:

NO INTERNET. NO PHONE.

….. Monday ….. July 5, 2021….. Jesus on the Main Line or was it the Hot Line? Whichever it was, the old Country song had it right: Jesus is available for communication with us anytime, anywhere.

LET FREEDOM RING!….. 07/04/2021 …….HOME COMMUNION

Wherever freedom may take you, know that the Holy One of Love is with you. Amen.

Popeye, the Sailor Man, with Spinach……… July 2, 2021 … Friday

Do you remember Popeye? When he needed strength, he popped open a can of spinach and poured it in. Paul makes a similar statement that he is fine when people call him weak because that lets the power of Christ show through him. For the celebrations of Independence Day in America, I am grateful andContinue reading “Popeye, the Sailor Man, with Spinach……… July 2, 2021 … Friday”

GRACE: IT’S IMPORTANT!… 6/30/2021 … Wednesday

I have known a few people who have had mental breakdowns because they knew that they didn’t match the standard of perfection which they felt was demanded of them by their religious beliefs. Yesterday, I read a document that brought forth those feelings in me. I finally turned off the computer and turned on collegeContinue reading “GRACE: IT’S IMPORTANT!… 6/30/2021 … Wednesday”

Daughters of the Holy One… 06/27/2021….Sunday Home Communion

“Woooohoo!” That was me yelling last night as my friend’s college team won the Baseball championship. It was a great game and both teams played their hearts out, but one team now gets to claim they are number one for a year. It is interesting how much rank means to us. People laugh when IContinue reading “Daughters of the Holy One… 06/27/2021….Sunday Home Communion”

THE ALLURE OF CANDY CRUSH…..06/24/2021…..Thursday

I missed posting yesterday’s prayer! Today I am very aware of how I can get in a hurry and miss so much. It is one thing to talk mindfulness and another to do mindfulness. Maybe if I start doing more mindfulness, I can successfully let go of Candy Crush, again.

HEARTBREAK HOTEL…. 06/25/2021….. Friday

I should have chosen “ONLY THE LONELY” as my prayer today is for those who are lonely:

I AM HERE….. 06/23/2021 …..

Paul tells the Corinthians, “Do you want to be the best in something? Do you really want something to brag about? How about being best at generosity, like you said you wanted to be?“ Paul doesn’t even say to give everything away, just to give as you are able. Develop the gift of generosity.
