Part II Humble Yourself Part III Pray In the past couple of weeks, we have become very aware of scars in our nation. Anyone who knows me, knows I have strong opinions…always. But this isn’t the place for my opinions. It is also not the place for any of my political views…or any specific… Read more

I HAVE PHYSICAL SCARS–WHAT DO I DO?…
I was recently telling a story from my childhood in a small group. When I reviewed it for an assignment, I realized for the first time, why my scars were so distressing to my mother.

THE POWER OF A GUILTY CONSCIENCE HAS BEEN BROKEN!…
Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a… Read more

OUR SCARS ARE SIGNPOSTS FROM OUR PAST…

THERE IS A TIME TO CELEBRATE–-50 YEARS OF MARRIAGE!…
Today marks 50 years since we said our vows to each other. We wrote our own but as you can see, we used the regular vows as a guide. I can’t find the vows Ron wrote. They were the man’s version of mine. They probably said something about him loving me as Christ loved… Read more
