Don't Judge?
I am currently involved in a woman’s bible study group that is studying the book of Romans. We are in the second chapter and in our group discussion this past week the subject of judgment and judging came up. In Romans 2:1 it states that in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself because the person who is doing the judgment does the same things and therefore condemns themself. The conversation weighed heavily on all the ways we judge others and how bad that was. Yet

The Needle's Eye
You know what the difference is with self-help books and the Bible? The Bible doesn’t major on building up self. It points to a Savior that tells you that to find life you must lose yours. The Bible also contains curious phrases such as, ‘It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven’ - found in Luke 18, Mark 10, and Matthew 19. Don’t we value wealth highly in this world? We celebrate security and pensions and

It’s All I Have To Bring Today
It’s all I have to bring today– This, and my heart beside– This, and my heart, and all the fields– And all the meadows wide– Be sure you count–should I forget Some one the sum could tell– This, and my heart, and all the Bees Which in the clover dwell. Emily Dickinson

Oil Press
Did you know that Gethsemane means oil press? I deliberately looked up the scriptures on Jesus’s experience in that garden this morning because I feel sort of out of sorts in my life, and in my prayers. Don’t get me wrong - I do not compare any emotional disturbance of mine with what Jesus went through but I can learn from this account and I pray I will glean some insight from it. Why the meaning of the name Gethsemane is relevant I am struck by the process of pressing oil f

Traveling in Cardboard Boats
I never went to college. I was not a happy camper in high school and then at 16 years old I met my husband and we got married when I was 18 in February and our oldest son was born the following year in September. Then it was off to the races raising three boys and running multiple businesses. Now in my advancing years I have been drawn to self-directed learning. I have always written. Mostly to just keep sane but in 2018 I self-published a small book of poetry, more accuratel

This Day
“Give us THIS DAY our daily bread” - Matthew 6:11 Today. We look towards God to enable us this day to do the work we must. We look towards God to provide the things we need. For this day. As I sit at my desk today looking to God, as I do most every day, I carry within me the effects of yesterday and the concerns for tomorrow - yet - I have been told by Jesus through the precious Holy Scriptures to look to Him to provide my daily bread for today. This day. There is a distance

Christmas Eve
It’s Christmas Eve and this is how my Christmas week has gone so far. I am on day fourteen in my Advent devotion book and my Advent calendar hanging on a door was last updated four days ago. Both practices were instigated by me to be more intentional towards the real meaning of Christmas and I have failed in my attempt. Yesterday I went shopping for my husband and bought him something he really doesn’t need but would like, I think. Driving to the mall I listened to Christmas
