(For Part I) (For Part II) I am No Longer Guilty Before GOD because I am IN CHRIST! I can now talk to Him…eye to eye! I don’t have to be ashamed. I AM FORGIVEN by the One who knows everything there is to know about me. He knows the good, the bad and the ugly.… Read more

HOW IMPORTANT ARE RELATIONSHIPS?–PART II…
Photo by James Coleman on Unsplash (For Part I) There is only One Perfect Relationship The good thing about relationships is that they model, usually by contrast, the completeness that we will find in relationship with Christ. With any human relationship, we will be disappointed. At some point, the best human relationship will fall short, if we are honest with… Read more

TURNING FEAR TO FAITH…
This week (June 21), my husband, Ron, will be leaving for Togo, (West) Africa. In case you haven’t heard of this tiny, French speaking country that is only about 35 miles wide, it is located near Ghana. That may not tell you much either. But enough clues are there for you to find it on a… Read more

ARE YOU WANTING APPROVAL?…
What a question. Of course you are looking for approval! Everyone is. It is wired into our DNA. We are human.

BEGINNINGS AND ENDINGS…
Today was an interesting day at church. We honored some beginnings and some endings…or rather transitions. It seems that life is full of both!

CATCHING UP ON TRIVIA…
What’s been happening lately? I thought you might be interested. I finished these chairs and reupholstered them as well. I had hoped to paint them a bold color but could never get the right bold color to come forth so I did a less exciting one with spatters of bolder less matchy colors that I… Read more

WALKING BY FAITH? WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?…
Recently, I was having a conversation with a friend who is teetering on the precipice of some major life changes. For months she has been having to keep on with her life and wait while the process of this change evolves. It involves decisions of other people, but ultimately it will be sovereignly led by… Read more

GRANDCHILDREN: A PRECIOUS GIFT…
·
We had a chance to experience the fact that we are grandparents this past weekend. Since we don’t live in the same town as any of our children, we don’t get to enjoy our grandparentdom very often. Enjoying it in our home, is extremely rare. We had all the above. Our oldest daughter Dawn…yes, the… Read more

LEARNING TO RECEIVE ENCOURAGEMENT…
Tonight I had a nice quiet visit with one of my sons-in-law. (I wrote this a few weeks ago.) I was up late writing. He got in late from work. He sat down to snack and we started chatting. The next thing I knew, he was listening to me. He was asking questions that showed… Read more
