A Look in the Mirror

Of course, hindsight is 20/20.  We can easily look back and criticize these “foolish” people; however, we need to look at our own lives first. 

Turning Ashes into Beauty

I’m sure you have noticed it too. More people are feeling hopeless than ever in our lifetime. The pandemic and the chaotic world we find ourselves in have certainly added to this crisis of discouragement and hoplessness. Turning Beauty into Ashes was written with hurting people in mind.

This is Going to Be Hard

Jeremiah 1 But God Will be With YOU! The book of Jeremiah is where I am in my Bible study today.  Jeremiah is known as the “weeping prophet.”  I recently heard a speaker say that in today’s language, we would call Jeremiah the DEPRESSED prophet.  I think he is right.  Poor Jeremiah!  He was a young and inexperienced man against the ENTIREContinue reading “This is Going to Be Hard”

A LOVE that STRETCHES

“The end of the world is coming soon. Therefore, be earnest and disciplined in your prayers. Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins.” 1 Peter 4:7&8 The word disciplined in the above verse means calm, circumspect, or alert.  Some translations of the Bible useContinue reading “A LOVE that STRETCHES”

He’ll Be Coming in the Clouds!

16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God.

Psalm 23:2a I am immersed in the Psalms as I prepare to teach a women’s Bible study.   Although I am not teaching on this one, one of my favorites is Psalm 23.  The timeless words, He lets me rest in green meadows, speak peace toContinue reading “Those Ancient Words”

What If?

“I am the true grapevine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more. You have already been pruned and purified by the message I have given you. Remain in me, andContinue reading “What If?”

…Because of Your WORDS!

This Scripture is often overlooked.  Why is this?  Probably it has to do with the fear and trepidation most of us have when it comes to reading, studying and understanding the book of Daniel.  Daniel and Revelation often get “overlooked” because we simply do not understand much of what is written in these two books. 

Billboards!

The message is that we can strip off the sackcloth and ashes and accept God’s amazing gift of grace.  Honestly, our lives, when transformed, should be a billboard to God’s unfailing goodness.  Our lives should point to Jesus and show his great glory.  

A Masterpiece?

Whenever I asked my guests for their opinion on the Mona Lisa, they almost always described it as unimpressive.  It is small.  Not at all what was expected.  But they were glad they had been close to de Vinci’s masterpiece.
