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”

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”
HEARTBREAK HOTEL…. 06/25/2021….. Friday
I should have chosen “ONLY THE LONELY” as my prayer today is for those who are lonely:

HAPPY CAMPERS!…. 6/10/2021…..Morning Prayer
Sometimes I don’t even have the words to express the overflowing experiences of God‘s love. It is something that I want for everyone. Church camp was one of the places that I first began to grasp the reality of God‘s love. Some people have told me that they have not had those kind of experiencesContinue reading “HAPPY CAMPERS!…. 6/10/2021…..Morning Prayer”

My prayers for the helpers, receiving help, and being a help. Not quite a single focus, but each relates to helping.
GLORY ON TAP — 6/8/2021 — HOME COMMUNION — — SUNDAY — —
I am so glad that perfection does not mean never making a mistake, but living fully with love. I am so glad troubles around us do not mean that we are being punished; instead they can be looked past to the tastes of glory and the fullness of God. I am so glad that noContinue reading “GLORY ON TAP — 6/8/2021 — HOME COMMUNION — — SUNDAY — —”
